Hello from SoCal

Welcome to the site from NY!

Yes. I used that type of line when it first came out back in the late 90's. If it breaks, under tension, it drops. I have seen steel line snap and the damage it can do. Plus, the fiber line is lighter by far. It is more susceptible to damage from rubbing but they make sliding protection sleeves that do a great job and can be set where you want them. I had a full size 73 Blazer, 6" lift, 38" Swampers, full roll cage and gobs of updates for heavy off roading and that line never failed me. Something you might think of is a moveable cradle winch mount so you can winch from either end. Also, have plenty of s*n*a*t*c*h blocks and shackles and 3" to 4" straps.

I will keep all of this in mind. I just received the Warn EVO VR 12S. went with the synthetic since you and a bunch of my coworkers told me about the snapping scenario of a steel cable. Thanks again!

First picture I took of the car; I figured this is what I'd be doing most of the time anyway.

Riverside Rancho as in bordering Glendale/Burbank near the equestrian center. You know, where the wonderful horse manure smell hits you off the 5/134? Yeah, that's me.

Those flys are in a different class aren't they? They're feeding on that premium 91 octane poop that's why.
