Have you changed over to Dyneema Synthetic Winch Rope. If so what size 9, 10 or 11 mm and what length did you go to, 30, 35 , 40m. After w weekend away pulling out a few mates i think the steel rope is a pita.

Changed over to synthetic a number of years ago now and would never go back to wire! I have a Warn XD9000 and use 10mm rope, can fit 30m on if you extend the tie-ends between the gearbox and motor, otherwise you can only fit 28m I think. It requires a little more care, but it's worth it.NOW SOLD: NW MY2014 VRX 3.2 Diesel Auto, Rhino Rack Roof Rack, Sandgrabber Floor Mats, Safari Snorkel, Warn XP9.5S Winch, ARB Bull Bar, Bushskinz Underbody Protection, Lovells HD Springs, Bilstein Shocks, Firestone Airbags, Off Road Systems Rear Shelf, Boab 40Lt Water Tank, Cooper LT265/65x17 ST-Maxx Tyres, Uniden 7760 UHF Radio, LRA 58LT Long Range Tank, ARB Intensity Spotlights, Redarc BCDC Dual Battery System, Taipan XP 3in Exhaust System, Recaro Seats.

For the amount it costs I'm sticking with steel. Use the winch maybe 10 times a year.
Cannot justify changing to rope that may only last 2 years before it needs replacment.
Why would I need synthetic rope. Yes its better but not for the weekend basher like me..Previously an NP GLX 3.8 auto RIP
NS VRX DiD auto. RIP.

I am planning to order a synthetic wire for my coming winch setting too. First of all, for the weight. I have the OME 2915-2917.setting; front seems to sit higher than the rear. I am ordering the hidden wonch mount and will install a TJM 9500 with synthetic rope on it. I believe that this way I will stay below a 50 kg and the vehicle will be perfect level. I was planning to order 35 meters of 8 mm. So, if you say that it should be 10 mm and a Warn won't be able to wind 35 meters, a TJM either. Maybe I should go back to 10x30 meters.

Ultimately, you would save on fuel in the long-term if it's considerably lighter.

My understanding is that as synth.rope is more vulnerable to abrasion, it's necessary to take extra measures to avoid it running across rocks, logs, etc., but also grit from mud & dirt works its way into the fibres eventually causing fraying & breakage, so cleaning it essential to make the rope last. At least you can take it off your winch & throw it in the washing-machine after a dirty-weekend, (but probably best to do it when the missus is out shopping, etc.)!

Thanks Steve
That's kind of what I figured too, that as long as you are careful with it and clean it (a much easier job than with steel) it should last well.Cheers

What makes you think it might only last that long? I have been told I should expect 5 years plus if it is used and stored properly.NOW SOLD: NW MY2014 VRX 3.2 Diesel Auto, Rhino Rack Roof Rack, Sandgrabber Floor Mats, Safari Snorkel, Warn XP9.5S Winch, ARB Bull Bar, Bushskinz Underbody Protection, Lovells HD Springs, Bilstein Shocks, Firestone Airbags, Off Road Systems Rear Shelf, Boab 40Lt Water Tank, Cooper LT265/65x17 ST-Maxx Tyres, Uniden 7760 UHF Radio, LRA 58LT Long Range Tank, ARB Intensity Spotlights, Redarc BCDC Dual Battery System, Taipan XP 3in Exhaust System, Recaro Seats.

Originally posted by umitc View PostThank you very much for your help and clue; I will check it and decide accordingly. I heard that the dealer has run out of 9500 TJM winches and he offered me a 12000 at the price of 9500. I don't want 12K, but I will see, what else I can do. Taking into consideration my 50 kg front ARB springs, a 15 kg saving is definitely a good deal.
