jeff,

i appreciate the input. as a newbie to the winching world, i like hearing from people who have experience with different ones. in my case, i feel that speed really isnt a factor, just needs to get the job done, everytime. and i feel the warn m8000 is a great choice to accomplish this.

i still havent decided whether i want the synthetic rope or not. i definately know of the advantages, but there are several disadvantages/reasons i wouldnt get it. these reasons are:

1) it would be about 200, including fairlead...i need my front windows re-tinted, and would like to get the rear ones a little darker
2) bruce mentioned ill need to get the tjm trimmed up a little, although this wont cost much and really isnt that big of a deal, its a negative
3) putting the synthetic rope on involves taking off the cable that comes with; what if the shop i have do the job doesnt put it on right? personally, id rather trust something straight from warn than an altered aftermarket product

just looking for a little more feedback in terms of synthetic rope....in my case, do you think its worth it?
