I know they cost more money, but something with synthetic line is gonna be way safer. Most people don't practice safety procautions with steel cable, and even if you do, there's so much opportunity for someone to get seriously hurt.
To each their own, but I won't have another Superwinch. Had one on an ATV and it froze solid. It could be pack lacmaintenance (you're supposed to spool once a month) or just flat out abuse....but the Smittybilt on the Jeep saw the same conditions and lasted. I recently moved to a Barricade synthetic since the old winch went with the old bumper and the Barricade brand was on sale.
FWIW, Superwinch isn't taking orders as of February 22nd.
Effective February 22, 2019, Superwinch Group, Inc. ceased operations in Portland, OR. However, this is not the end of the Superwinch brand. Westin Automotive Products, Inc., headquartered in San Dimas, CA, is in the process of acquiring specific assets, IP rights, and branding of SUPERWINCH. Westin looks forward to re-establishing the Superwinch brand’s business relationships with our automotive and industrial partners and is eager to integrate SUPERWINCH with the Westin family of products.
During the transition process, SUPERWINCH will be unable to accept new orders, process warranty claims, or make inventory transactions of any kind. Customer service coverage may be limited as well, but we will do our best to respond to customer inquiries in a timely manner. We would like to thank our loyal customers for standing by us through this process and hope to one day meet and exceed your expectations for the standards our brand has established over its many years.
