Yeah steel wire rope.lol

Have anyone done a "HOW TO" about pressurizing a winch.
Just remembered I have a spare winch here to get it right

Bit old school now I think about it, but seems a waste to throw it out,
But saves buying some plasma for $170. Easy to store lie flat on the roof or It will coil up
inside my faux wheel. I'll keep it

Yep, not that I’ve ever needed it (yet) I’ve got 30m synthetic rope on the winch & a second 30m still in it’s plastic bag behind the seats. The SWR :) did come in useful when I used the winch to haul a large dead pig onto the back of a neigbours ute though.

I have simply drilled and tapped a screw in barbed fitting into my motor housing ensuring to miss the field magnets. Then run some hose to an old airhorn low pressure pump I had lying around. When I turn on the winch isolation it turns on the compressor. Its pretty noisy but still blows air, so I may even put a separate switch for just the air compressor.

Nah bugger that! Junk it! Not a waste, it's simply obsolete. You have replaced it for safety reasons then you want to put it back into the recover. No way. It's junk. Recycle bin is where it belongs.

Buying 50m of synthetic rope for your winch and cutting off 20m for an extension strap for the win. It's lite, it's safe.

Buy 60m and cut it in half. Half on the winch and half as an extension. After a fair it of use swap them. You now have anew winch rope and a spare as an extension.

Junk the wire.

Wheres the best place to buy new rope these days?

Have to agree 3D, the days of wire are gone mate and so they should with the strength and easiness of rope for splicing for extensions and breakages, etc.

There's a video somewhere I put up when I did mine and if done correctly is a stronger permanent fix then the rest of your rope.

Easy to handle, easy to store extensions, happy days!
