Topic: bobby long or synthetic rope?

[JoeWelder]

so the lady couldnt pick which to get for me so she told me to decide....

 if i want a longfield birfield (yes, just 1. i have one in my driverside, now just need one in my passenger side lol)

or synthetic rope for my winch. my winch is a hitch mount so the reduction in wieght would be awesome

Get the birf! Winch rope is something you WANT. Longfields are something you NEED.

I'd second that, I LOOOOOVE synthetic rope and refuse to run cable, but I'd "prioritize" the Longfield since you at least already have cable.  .02

[JoeWelder [OP]]

yea true....i'll end up braking my stock birf before my cable. plus bobby lives a few minutes down the road so i can pick it up when ever im ready!

[locked 4x4]

definitely go for the birf

its probably due to the fact that unless you baby it you pretty much have to replace it in a year.  it doesnt take to UV ( breaks it down real quick) frays quicker due to abrasion etc etc etc

Thanks, pretty much sums it up. Plus in my line steel rope can't be beat I may be a little biased.

get the other longfield...... you know when you drive your truck, the weakest link will destroy, so if you are driving with 1 longfield, the other side having the stock birf will get destroyed, and then you will have no axleshaft......

birfield all the way!
