I'm going through the TJ I got last year and doing some small stuff to get it ready for the spring, all the while reading all over this forum as I'm still fairly new to the scene. So, what's the advantage to synthetic line vs steel cable? I have never used a winch in my life, and I bought this thing with a bumper and Warn winch already installed and hooked up. I ran the cable all the way out for inspection, did not see any damage to the braiding, so I wound it back up neatly. What's the point of changing out the cable?
Also, I searched the forum but didn't see anything on the basics of winch operation... Does anyone have a good writeup or a source for using a winch safely and efficiently when needed? I'm sure I could figure it out, but I'm too old to wing it and would rather not lose a finger in front of my children on the trail. Thanks!
