Here's what I picked up yesterday for $350. I wanted one with more pulling power, and wanted to buy new but couldn't pass up this smokin deal.

It's got the stock wire cable, with a couple of kinks in it and a roller fairlead. Gonna replaced it with synthetic rope and a hawse fairlead since the roller will not fit on my MarlinCrawler bumper.

I've got two choices on winch rope.

5/16 x 100ft 13,700lbs
or
3/8 x 80ft 19,600lbs

Cost is dead even. It comes down to an extra 20ft and less strength or less footage and more strength. Those of you with synthetic ropes, what did you buy and any thoughts on the two sizes of ropes mention above. Also, any leads on who has the best price/service?
