This winch rope is a UHMWPE braided core with polyester outer braid sheath for abrasion protection and UV resistance. As well as looking awesome this rope is very nice to handle, similar construction to climbing rope but using the light and strong UHMWPE rope fibre core to provide the additional strength required for winching activities. This rope is a great upgrade for any 4x4 winch for most models it will simply bolt into the existing lug where the steel cable is connected to the drum.
