Default winch question?
What's up guys? So I'm shopping for a 10,000 lb winch for my 2010 Screw, and was wondering what would be better a steel cable or a synthetic rope? Any suggestions?

Just read this article and found it interesting. It addresses steel cable vs synthetic rope.

That is a good article. How are you going to mount the winch on your truck?
