replacement rope for winch???

[TOOLPUSHER]

looking for some insight on winch rope, what is the best and the worse ones out there. Also is there someone in socal that can cut winch cable an press on a new lope. The first five feet on the cable needs to be cut off or just replace it.

If you have a West Marine close to you. Go there and they will fix it for you.

So i called them an they said for 25 bucks they would cut an crimp on a new end... Not to far from work so i might go this route.... still would like to here real world experience on the rope ,pros vs cons.... thanks for the quick reply curtis......

Thor is great and local in Burbank, CA. I bought my winchline from him for my Warn M8000. Thor runs his own business and has 2 employees. His family were fishermen in Iceland and they used this crazy strong synthetic line for fishing and then applied the knowledge to winchlines. Thor really is a Viking! He even has the accent!

Ditto, I met Thor a couple of weeks ago when I switched from cable to synthetic line. Great guy to deal with and very knowledgeable.

I've been running Thor's Viking 3/8" synthetic winch ropes for 7-8 years on two different winches and won't run anything else. I'm SO happy not to be running wire ropes any more.
