I have used it about 12 times. I might have lived without it a couple of times, but another couple of times I would have had to walk 3 miles to the car, wait 3 months and then come back with a shovel.

Used it twice in one day to pull a ds and raptor out of the snow. I had a tow strap which would have taken 1/10 of the time, but by god I paid for the winche, installed the winch, and I was going to use the winch!.

LOL You guys have some funny stories.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] I sure hope i can pull someone out with my winch someday.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] I would hate to walk back to the truck for a shovel...... I sure hope the dam thing works i've never even checked it.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] Wouldn't that be just great stuck in a mud hole 15 miles away from anything and my winch didn't work.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] I sure hope that doesn't happen.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

I use mine everytime I ride. Usually pulling other people out, but sometimes pulling myself. I think its time for new cable - anyone know a good place to buy new cable?

Bama,

When I need new wire rope, I will try the synthetic rope. It should last longer. Take a look.....
