    Dynema was an early synthetic to hit the Aussie winch market, it was expensive and paved the way for swags of cheap alternatives.
    I bought a 10mm? rope from the states for half dynema's price in 2007 still have it and its working fine. Don't have a clue what brand it is.
    It was equal or greater load rating to the steel winch cable I took off, my winch is 9500lb and rope is still in good nick.
    Cheers

    Mauz,

    I waited and waited for this stuff called X-Line to come back onto the market, as it had the highest strength of all the synthetic ropes, but after waiting three years, I gave up.

    I now have SuperMax Rope, as there isn't a whole lot of difference between all the good quality Dyneema / Dynamica Ropes.

    Not sure of the brands near you - just get the highest spec you can find with UV Coating to make it last a little longer.

    Using a Snatch Block will also ensure that you don't over stress your winch and rope.


    I went for the largest / strongest rope I could fit ( 10mm - although the specs said I could use 8mm and still be OK ) .

    I did this because as the fibres get dirty and sandy ( of which you may see a little sand from time to time ), it will start to cut into the fibres, making the rope slightly weaker and weaker, and there is a lot of money invested in our trucks, and you want to be sure the rope doesn't break when you are hanging off the side of a hill.
