Extreme rides are nice however the bottom line (for me anyway)... Any ride on a quad with friends is a fun one.

Welcome to our Obsession....

I totally think the exploration aspect is fun as well. It's great to find an old mine...a fallen building.

That's where my interests are, to a fault!

I enjoy discussing the machines however, as there are parallel issues of interest to both hobbies in my opinion.

I think your website covers the technical riding very well; you have some great stuff here!

It is also a great place to give eachother a bad time. . . speaking of that, where has Ash been? I have not seen him post in a while? Roll the quad like terry did?

Says same pulling power, but another site says the Amsteel Blue is only rated at 7000 or so pounds for 1/4....10 bucks less...but 15 bucks more for the fairlead.

The MP is rated overall stronger.

From another site:
The Amsteel Blue 3/8" "rope" weighs in at just under 4 lbs for 125 feet and the average strength rated at 20,445 lbs

The MP Winch line 3/8" is rated at 23,500.

Who would need anymore than 5,000lbs on a ATV. I would keep a very sharp knife to cut loose from being pulled in on a pull.

M-P Winch Line 3/8" 23,500lb.
M-P Winch Line 5/16" 14,500lb.

Does the rock saver fit around the rope and act as a sort of sleeve the decrease wear and tear on the rope over sharp rocks, or someone cutting it mid winch up Winch hill 2

Watch your plastic rope.
I have pads that will go under the rock for that type of problem.
I run a 10FT guard on my set-up hooked to the end.(hook end)
