What the hell good is aircraft grade? How many aeroplanes are you going to be winching out of bog holes in the bush. The took you for a ride tony. :D :D

The only definitive answer to ARB being expensive is "YES".
Many of their products are good but usually overpriced.

Actually Ace you are wrong again:D

Think about it any aircraft has a lot of updraft in a storm.

Good to know Tony. I have been wondering about how much life is left on my rope. Lost all its purple and some if it has been squashed quite badly.

Hi,

ARB will always start with the RRP on the phone. You need to actually go down and talk turkey with them.

I haggled with them and bought

Magnum Winch
Bull Bar - Winch Mount
Safari Snorkel
Wiring loom for Driving lights (wired)
some recovery gear
2 new globes for driving lights etc

And payed $2500

Compare their RRP.

I can't complain.

ARB's rope is genuine Warn, made in the USA & imported, they would be better of having their ropes made hear...then again if they did they would still be $375 :eek:

Let us all know the name of the rope maker so we can save all some money also.

There's a wire rope maker in western Sydney that will supply and fit for $65, the name escapes me but i will ask treebruiser for them as he had his replaced by them:thumbsup:

Thats a great price Baz, I for one would like to know these people address, I've used my rope many times, getting just a few too many kinks now, should have replaced before this.

While I wz down there I asked about Plasma rope for the winch as well and they supply the same thing as plasma but called it a differant name carnt remember what they called it though all I remember is that it was a 1/3 of the price from ARB,
