Which Winch Wire?

Hmmmm. not much differnece but I'd be tempted to buy the thicker one.  One give the break strain, the other a "rated" strength, wonder what margin of safety that includes :?

For a safety-critical item I'd ask the advice of a reputable winch supplyer like Dave Bowyer for example.
Blue,  1988  Range Rover 3.5 EFi with plenty of toys bolted on
Chuggaboom, 1995 Range Rover Classic
1995 Range Rover Classic Vogue LSE with 5 big sticks of Blackpool rock under the bonnet.

What about this one....
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BRAND-NEW-SUPERWINCH-100-WIRE-ROPE_W0QQitemZ150194722090QQihZ005QQcategoryZ36631QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

It's a genuine Superwinch one, direct from Goodwinch, they seel the one they don;t fit cos people have other rope fitted......

Will depend on what winch it's going on i guess..... if you have a 9000lb or less, then this would be fine
gone from 200tdi.... to 300tdi... still with loads done to it, in fact, even more than the last truck...LOL!!!
