Just wondering if anyone had to pull out their winch to install it.
I am hoping I can just unspool it all, and reach the nut from the top of my TJM. That would make things so much easier...

 

Jim (mytruck) and I did mine in his driveway.
Just unspool the wire line, take out the allen bolt that holds in the eye ring that holds the line on, and fasten new line on, and spool 'er back up.

I did mine from underneath.
Piece of cake.

 

sweeeet thanks corey. I think I will do it tomorrow! YAY!

 

How much was that line anyway I was wondering about it. Whats the strength psi

 

http://www.marlincrawler.com/winch.html i dont have a winch yet but is it worth it?

 

I got the 5/16" 100' amsteel blue line, and it looks like it has an average strength of 44,660 lbs.

mine was 140 shipped. btw

 

5/16 thats rated at 44klbs damn thats good stuff the stuff on marlin is 3/8 and rated at 19k

 

ok well I got the warning sheet my line came with, and it says "13,700lb./test Breaking Strength"

 

hehe I thought 44k was high

 

well if you click that link, it is from amsteel blue, and says "Average Strength 44,660" for the 5/16"

tough to beat their prices and all the equipment is extremely heavy duty!

 

use lockrite on the allen bolt when reinstalling, and make sure when you spool it back in to do so evenly so that it doesn't bundle up all on one side

 

I had no problems beating there prices.

Be sure you spool the line under tension or the first time you use it may damage the rope.
