Steel vs. Synthetic Winch Line?

[Chris]

So last month I took my winch to the Warn Factory service center in Milwakee, OR for a refurbish.

I never knew Warn was Oregon based until very recently. I thought that was pretty cool being as though I've been an Oregonian all my life.

I distrust those that speak in absolutes. As in my idea is the best and there is no other.

Couldn't agree more!

I ruined the brake on my 9.5 TP Warn removing stumps on our property. Just over worked the hell out of that winch. Also over the course of last winter I ruined the wire rope-lots of frayed and broken strands. So last month I took my winch to the Warn Factory service center in Milwakee, OR for a refurbish. ( Excellent customer service BTW). When I picked it up I asked about synthetic vs wire rope. Cutting to the chase the tech referred me to West Coast Wire Rope and recommended 100' of 5/16, 6x37 wire. It has the best of both. But hey, each to their own.
