Don’t get mad at me! just what people have said, does make a difference if your on a pay and play site and winching people maybe a dozen times in the day

Maybe on a winch comp it may make a slight difference..........but if the winch is on freespool then pulling ti out is not a great hardship.

Don't get don't get disillusioned, most tratter owners would love to have a rope as an accessory and not holding the exhaust together.

I used to use baling twine, but it kept melting, I tried barbed wire but it hurt my wee handies, So now I use a cable tie or two....

Hi to all was after your thoughts as seen a few defenders with rope round front winch bumper what are your thoughts on the matter and a happy new year to you all

joking aside

is indeed always better to ensure the winch cable is secured , if u have rope on the front whilst doing 40-50 mph the thought is it coming loose doesnt bear thinking about

plus u know someone will just come along and nick the rope anyway

I had an old Hilux that had the steering drawbar held together with baker twine for a few days - reasonable amount of play in the steering

Pointless. UV and constant exposure to water and ****e will rot that rope and make it useless in no time....

Nah, looks like a hemp rope,...........the local druggies will have tried to smoke it way before it rots.

imagine also someone will try and light the rope to see how quick it burns

@Fry847

if u tie a rope to the front, be careful someone doesn’t do this to it ,

To me, that says "Ain't I clever, I can do an big eye-splice, but nobody's ever shown me how to tuck in the ragged ends and finish it properly"
