Darren I know you are a big fan of the 12mm rope to make these shackles but would 10mm or 11mm be sufficient for most of us?
I reckon that one of Jonno's that we used last weekend was 9mm and seemed up to the task. Thinking about buying a few metres of rope to make a few shackles.

The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

If you buy new rope then buy an extra 10m or so and make a couple. Winner

Yeah my rope is not old so not wanting to replace the lot. Roadrunner sell per metre so I was thinking of getting enough to make a few shackles and an extension strap.

Buy a 20m or 28m length. 2 to 3m per soft shackle for a good size one.

Is some winch rope better than others? This seems crazy cheap.

Id buy at least 11mm for your winch though. That would be perfect for some soft shackles and a winch extension though.

Yeah cheers Daz, I remember spending a LOT more than that when I built my winch and yes, used 11mm.
