I Switched to Synthetic Winch Rope and I'll Never Go Back 

I've always heard great things about Quadratics customer service. I would have no issues paying full price for any of their products because of the great service they offer. I don't, at this time, get paid any type of money from any of the sponsors. Yes, I occasionally get freebie stuff to make videos with. I've had that winch and rope for a few years now and haven't featured it as the star of any video. The company parted ways with me for not promoting the junk (my opinion) they wanted me to push to my viewers. I recently got around to setting things up (I work waaayy too much at my real job). I'm not really promoting the brand, that winch, or that rope per se. I'm just doing "how-to's" with what I have to work with. I don't have the money the big RU-vidrs have, my channel is still way too small. But, being that I got the winch and rope as a "sponsor" product, I (and every social media influencer) are required to be open about getting products like that. I always have been and always will be open about that. Also .. if its junk ... I'll call a spade a spade, I have lost sponsor deals because I will not lie to my Power Addicts Crew. Sorry about the long response. I get carried away sometimes 😀 Thanks for being part of the channel and have a great day!!!

I do 100% agree with you on the dirt and rock abrasion issues. I have an "abrasion sleeve" from Warn that helps with rubbing the rocks as long as it stays in place (which can be an issue in itself). I will not baby it so dirt will become an issue eventually. Steel cable just doesn't care ... drag it on rock .. dirt ... trees .. it keeps going. You just better wear gloves in case those little wires are sticking out because that mess will stab ya!! I'm sure you know that. Rope is much more safe in the event it snaps under pressure and yep you can tie it back together or weave a new loop. I do carry a shipping blanket and a "gear bag" that doubles as a winch line dampener. They both have their pros and cons. I'm rebuilding a Warn 8274, I haven't yet made up my mind what I'm putting on it. Thanks for dropping in a helps people know the pros and cons between the two. Heck .. I should make a video about that. Glad you enjoy the content! Have a great day ✌

@@Poweraddicts The abrasion sleeve may help in some situations. I have dealt with a lot of mud. Unless your abrasion sleeve covers the whole thing, it is useless.

@@Poweraddicts Sorry, going back and forth with your comment. My bad here. I have never worn gloves. I also never let the cable slip through my hands. Tight grip gives a better wind. As far as which is safer, I don't know. I have seen more ropes break than cables with winches. Percentage wise, that makes ropes more dangerous. BTW, I have never seen a cable break on a winch on YT. I have seen ropes break. Of course maintaining your equipment is very important. I ask you, how many tow trucks use blankets? The tow point is far more likely to break than the cable. Tow point is the largest killer. Most of the time, the killer is a hard yank and tow point breaks. Not a winch cable with a slow pull. Watch myth busters.

Battery is a little over a year old. But, it is just a standard run of the mill "got it at walmart" battery. I'm seriously thinking about setting up for a dual battery system. The rig has a 130 amp Durango alternator installed.

Oh yea, it still works fine. I just moved it to the accessory bar at the top of the windshield.
