ARB deluxe winch bar

So my bumper will be in monday. I got the 72" wide model that some of you call the prado bar I guess. I've been searching for a good write up on the install but I can't seem to find any without expired pictures. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I'm also gonna pick up a winch some time in the next 2 weeks and I was thinking of going with the nylon cable instead of steel. Does anyone have any opinions on the nylon vs steel?

if you go with synthetic, be sure to get something to keep it from fading with UV rays. its def safer then the wire as the wire will kill you if it breaks, or you will have to duck like hell.

Well not only is it a lot safer than the wire... It does not kink when using the winch or rolling it back in. When my wire had kinked too much after 8 uses I went to nylon. It is so great to use. Though I have heard that you might need a special snatch block for nylon rope. Anyone else know about this?

Also what kind of winch. I have the Warn9500ti and that thing is fast as hell! Check out the new warn power plant. If you don't have an air tank - and it will fit in your ARB bumper for an extra few hundred that thing would be well worth it! Make sure you get a full recovery kit to go with it (Snatch block, chain etc).
