Where is the cheapest place buy 3/16 Synthetic Winch Rope? Are the fairleads a universal fit? And what happens if I use a roller fairlead with the rope?

 

You can get Amsteel for about $50 on Ebay. They say you should not use a roller fairlead with synthetic because it can pinch in a corner and break it. There are some fairleads designed for synthetic rope that are probably best instead of a standard hawse (sp) fairlead too.

 

I bought my 50' of 3/16 Amsteel rope with a UHMW fairlead for $78 delivired from BC Offroad. Good people, & very knowledgrable.

 

uhmw btw.. is i tihnk a very strong plastic?

i might be wrong but i think that is waht they use for those amadillo plastic skid plates too..
i tihnk the uhmw fairleads like ---^ said he got... are the best for syn rope

 

I got mine the same place as Vinnie........Nice product but if you're gonna do alot of plowing, they sell a shorter length especially for plowing.......The only thing I don't like about it is that the extra protector kinda gets bunched up on the spool when plowing.........My dilemma right now is that I really don't wanna respool with a shorter section for plowing every year........Vinnie has a nice strap set up but once again I don't wanna have to keep changing the rope to a strap every year.....I'll figure something out......

I bought mine from OK Offroad, along with the hawse fairlead. My quad had a roller fairlead, but the recommendation seems to be to use a hawse so there are no pinches as others have said.
