I placed a massive order and got everything online.
Saved close to $1,200 doing it all online from US stores and shipped down there to WA.
Synthetic line varies from company to company. Did my research, asked guys who are using it and got what suited me (delica) the best.
Amsteel blue synthetic line is what the 'rock crawling and overland' guys use so that's what I got.
most from winchline.com and rockstomper.com
I'm outfitting our Delica as an expedition vehicle that will take us down to south america and back in remote places, often solo, so a lot of my gear is not a necessity up here when wheeling with multiple vehicles.
What I have so far and small misc nicks and ends
10' tree saver -
100' synthetic winch line w/ thimble -
30' 7/8 Kinetic rope (stretching) -
ARB 9k snatch block (x2) -
3/8" synth line splicing repair kit -
Couple of shackles and sling hooks -
Air jack -
MV50 compressor -
Smittybilt XRC8 Winch -
DIY pullpal 11k -
HD come along -
