Hmmmmm, yummy, so delicious 
It came today.
I saw, I like, hopefully I can install it tomorrow between rain storms.
It has either 5' or 10' of the rock guard on it too.
This is a nicer looking rope than my old one.
Unlike my Masterpull line, this one has about 7" or so of extra line hanging out where the screw/clasp is that you screw to the side of the drum.
You take that extra line and lay it across the drum, not wrapped on it, and tape it off.

Thanks Ric.
Would have replied sooner, but I bought (helped negotiate) another FJ Cruiser today
Not for me, but helped a coworker land a beaut.
She fell in love with mine, and has been wanting to get one for awhile now, and traded in her Tacoma today.
We went to a few places and did some negotiating.

Well my winch basket and custom receiver are done (linky) I will be ordering a syn line soon... .I found out today that Fisheries Supply sells Amsteel Blue, and since my dad has a wholesale account there I get it very cheap... So I will order the line thru them, and the thimble from winchline, then for a 6pack my dad will splice it on for me, I dont know how (which is sad since my dad is a commerical fisherman and professional shipwright)....
The syn will be a nice weight savings when moving the winch around.
