[QUOTE="Icecobra, post: 445513, member: 8470"] THe real issue with rope versus steel cable is weight, and fraying of steel cable. The winch itself runs about 125 pounds and then add a mount that's about another 75 to 80 pounds.. That's a lot of weight to have on the front of the truck in front of the wheels all the time. I opted for a receiver hitch mount so I could put it on when I need it. Its just one way to deal with it. But also lets me put it in back of the truck. A 12500 is a bit overkill and the price he is asking really is not such a killer deal in my opinion.. There are a lot of choices out there so think about weight and strength as you contemplate what to do. Superwinch with a 125 foot cable 10k pulling is about 600.00 so you might want new versus used..
