[QUOTE="customcj7, post: 699012, member: 3103"] Something to note that I haven't noticed is spooling fresh rope under load when switching from steel cable to rope, or changing out the rope. I noticed a big difference when I spooled one rope under load, and the other just wound up with no load. The loaded winch never allowed the line to squeeze into the rope and become difficult to freespool. As well as when I hooked up and pulled, it pulled. It didn't take 6-7 turns before it started winching, and then end up all bound up inside itself and lines squeezed under each other. The unloaded rope was a bitch. I have a Warn on my CJ, and a Smittybuilt on my Dodge. That Smitty hauls ass compared to the Warn. Pulled my CJ on flat ground so fast that I had to stop the jeep from rolling uphill into the Dodge it was moving so fast. I also use a Perko HD Switch [url='http://"http://www.perko.com/catalog/battery_switches/149/heavy_duty_battery_selector_switch_with_alternator_field_disconnect/"']Perko HD Switch[/url] Rated at 380 amps continuous, and 850 intermittent. That's what my cut off for my batteries is. [/QUOTE]
