Interesting….could you give me some detail on this? Thanks, amzimmy Thanks guys, I can find out what kind of rope it is. The aluminum fitting is spliced onto the end of the rope. The winch set up is removable - see the proof of concept pics. The real proof came two days ago - pulled two G-wagens out of a very muddy lake bed - one of those was mine.......
