I bought a Smittybilt X20 with steel cable. The synthetic was $160 more. I am considering upgrading to a synthetic line if I can at that price point. Any suggestions?
All the ones on Amazon are sketchy. I have yet to come across a review where someone didn't get a shorter line or the eyelet attachment to the drum wasn't bad. Sure most have positive reviews. I won't risk it though.
I need 3/8" synthetic line that is 98f (SB says theirs is 98.5). I could probably get away with 100ft and just hang the extra 1.5" across the bumper hooks.
This one has a quasi-review, but the reviewer got it for free.
The Smittybilt XRC line is 3/8" and 94ft, it should fit? On sale for under $200 and available locally. SB fairlead is like $30, though I'll probably go Factor55
I will probably upgrade after having to use it once or twice. The local recovery guy for the trails says steel cable is dangerous because it gets burs, frays, etc. So I won't be using steel long, just got it to get in the game.
