[QUOTE="Bebop, post: 665298, member: 5925"] Ok so I got to spend some time searching... I found a few places in the US to order the most important component IMHO, the big hooks. They are regular 3/8 rigging hooks. If you are splicing it on the winch line, I would recommend this one : [url=http://www.westechrigging.com/hook-ekn-038-g100-gunnebo.html]http://www.westechrigging.com/hook-ekn-038-g100-gunnebo.html[/url] If your rope is already spliced, just cut your old hook off and put this one in : [url=http://www.westechrigging.com/gunnebo-hook-skn-skt-545622.html]http://www.westechrigging.com/gunnebo-hook-skn-skt-545622.html[/url] Gunnebo is a swedish brand. Very good stuff. I found the tree strap with hook and Oval link also, they are called Single Leg Slings, but I haven't been able to find a place that is remotely as cheap as Gigglepin's. Closest is this one : [url=http://www.uscargocontrol.com/Lifting-Slings/Single-Leg-Nylon-Bridle-Sling-with-Safety-Hook/1x6-2-ply-Single-Leg-Nylon-Sling-w-Master-Link-Sling-Hook]http://www.uscargocontrol.com/Lifting-Slings/Single-Leg-Nylon-Bridle-Sling-with-Safety-Hook/1x6-2-ply-Single-Leg-Nylon-Sling-w-Master-Link-Sling-Hook[/url] I haven't found tubular thimbles yet but I'm still looking. Right now I'm at a friends place. He used to compete in winch challenges in Europe with his TJ and even spent 1 week in the most grueling conditions in Croatia for the big trophy over there. He has plenty of stuff, including the two hooks presented above : [IMG]https://img15.hostingpics.net/pics/777122IMG9001.jpg[/IMG] And a little shot of the monster winch sitting in the front of his rig : [IMG]https://img15.hostingpics.net/pics/646664IMG8987.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
