Ok, so I bought a synthetic winch rope from a local ranch store that didn't know what they had. Got a 11/32 winch rope, for winches rated 8000-1000 lbs, for $113.00.....not bad.
My aluminum roller fair lead is brand new, never used, no rough spots, right out of the box.......but, all the vendors say you can't use a roller fairlead with a synthetic rope and you have to use a Haus aluminum fair lead or poly rolllers. So, what is the damn difference between the 2? I mean, if you pull through a Haus fairlead that the rope slides against, why can't you pull against a roller that's made from the same material? Something that rolls with it and doesn't slide, causing friction?
If it's a stupid question, then just let me know. But, it seems like the ve dors just want more money for **** you really don't need. Am I wrong?
