    I had the OEM steel cable changed to synthetic when the winch bar was fitted up. I should get someone to fit an eye to the other end of the steel cable and use it as an extra in the recovery equipment.

    You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.

    Dumb question, anyone know if the roller fairlead will work with synthetic rope or do I need a hawse fairlead. ( yes I realise it will save a few kilos too)
    You can get an aluminium hawse for around $35 and save an extra 4kg (measured against the standard Warn) and avoid any mechanical pinch on the rollers.

    If you are serious about buying, checkout tigerz11.com.au they have some excellent pricing at the moment (and not just on rope). Product is good quality and freight is competitive too.
    Hoo-Roo,

    Dave.

    Ditto, I just got the TIGERZ11 alloy offset hawse, from their ebay shop, delivered in 2 days, Exactly the same item is selling on other ebay vendors for twice the price. Next time I'm in Bayswater I'll drop in for a look.

    Tigerz11's 10mm rope is 90c per metre more than I paid last week from an ebay seller, with free postage. Item number 150588169840. Might be able to push them a little cheaper again, who knows.
