did you know what size rope you want for the shackle? I can get some tensile strengths on Monday when I go back and get some made up to look at.

I been looking at the Bubba rope stuff in detail. It’s nice stuff no doubt but I can make it even nicer. I think I will full coat the eyes in the rubberized coating that way it will have better durability. I will have to use the colors we have in the tank for the first few lines to see pics and get some feedback but would there be a color preference on this?

I will eventually have more stuff to offer but just want to start with a few simple options to start.

I am trying to see how they are arriving at the 32,000 tensile strength. I am using the same style rope but my brand(same stuff different name) because 7/16” 12 strand plasma rope has a tensile strength of 21,000. See the specs of plasma I attached

You would need to post in the classified section or become a vendor.

I had no idea I was just talking to some guys to see if there would be any need for this before I made it. How do I go about not breaking any rules here?

so it’s seems I should register as a junior vendor. Would I be in violation for discussion like above to find the need or see what people may want as long as I don’t advertise a price? I just want to make sure I go about this legit and not cause any trouble.

The rope on the shackles is doubled back on itself to create a loop, so strength is increased.

I would possibly be interested in a winch line extension for my jeep. 3/8" synthetic is on the winch (17k i think). Would like the same for an extension. Maybe 25 or 50 ft with loops on each end. Or just buying a certain length of rope and splicing myself.

There are already a few companies selling cheaper synthetic winch lines with made in china rope. If you be closer to those prices, but with USA made rope, you should do pretty well. Check out places like Southeast Overland and Custom Splice, as they usually have pretty competitive prices vs big brand names.
