I agree with Steve. I would buy anything made in the USA even if it does cost a little bit more.
Also, i recently took my new ropes out on the trail and......
I did some light offroading the other day and kinda on purpose got my truck stuck. I used my HMMWV as the pull vehicle, since it is a monster in the mud, and I think I got the truck deeper than I thought because it took my some pulls forward and backwards. I had to do some very heavy duty pulling with all 4 wheels spinning on my HMMWV, but on the last pull I threw my jacket on the rope (makeshift weight) and pulled the truck for all it was worth. After figuring that I would probably snap your rope before I got the truck free; I eventually overcame the mud and started to walking it out. The rope held up very well and would probably recommend this to friends. I did not have to capability of getting video or pictures because my phone was at home. Sorry. The only improvement would have been, like noted before, would be the eyelet size.
I know it kinda sounds weird, but I just copied and pasted the review I gave Mark. I really like these ropes. Only one drawback, but other than that they where awesome......

Got the rope last week. Quality feels good, and is lighter than I was expecting. I'm using D-Ring shackles and the eyelet size is fine for me. I would prefer the whole eyelet dipped to provide a little more protection. The only other thing I found is I measured the rope at 26 feet long, not 30. I imagine the rope length was 30 before the eyelets were made. It's not a big deal to me, but you may receive some blowback from future customers if they are expecting a finished rope that is 30 feet long.
Here is a quick video of pulling our truck out. Mud is about 8" deep and the truck is in 2wd the whole time.

Ok here is the updated corrections on the rope. Bigger eye and did a better stitch as well. Waiting on dip and will have next set of ropes and full website going.
