"WARN engineers faced a challenge when they set out to develop a synthetic rope for winching."
What it should say:
WARN engineers faced a google search; when they set out to find someone that had already done their job for them.

LuxyBoy - Part VCL38150+BLT - 3/8" X 150' Viking Combo Line with Tube Thimbled Eye, Blue, no hook, Standard Line Protector.
Comes to AUS $431.55 without the line protector as it only lists the Heavy Duty Protector as an accessory. Reckon i could get the standard protector?
They need to drop the price more than just free shipping for it to be a bargain

Standard is that... standard. You get it with the purchase with the HD just being an upgrade from standard.

Just called Smithys outback , didnt mention outers, me or anything just an off the street customer.
30mtrs of 10mm roughly $388 "from memory" with eyelet, and sheeth on one end...
That aint a bad deal. So $400 and waiting for stuff from USA aint that flash.
I'd go with Greg over stuff from USA and you never know, he maybe able to arrange a deal too for bulk.

guys, back from a week away, as far as pricing goes i think i did state that look at your reciept on winchline then remove the price of postage, that was the deal i was offered with 5 ppl. how ever i want to get 10 ppl so we should get a little discount or freebies
the no postage is a guide and will take about 20 or so dollars off the end price per person!

Yeah, well the standard postage to AUS is $12 + $26 USD = over AUD$40 saved straight up!
Come on PPL, show some interest.

I don't!
If we can import small amounts ourselves for good prices, it's about time local dealers pulled their socks up and stopped gouging us fellow aussies, considering their buying and shipping power over the little guy.
Local business want our support, they better start returning some ...

I would like to introduce our new winch 12,000lb to you. This new winch 12,000 has many good advantages, such as good sound, sealed motor, low amp draw( the highest current is only about 410AMP) and waterproof control box etc. It is $208/pc FOB. This winch had been tested well in extreme terrain by one of our customers from Amercia. We would provide them about 15,000 pcs of this winch every years. It is really a good winch for your jeep.
All of our winches come complete with the roller fairlead, remote control, hook, and solenoid box. When winching is a part of your everyday wheeling experience, then look to the all new HS 12000 to be there when you need it most. "Now Available!".
If you are interested in this winch, please email to me
