Great. It's nice to be back home. It amazes me how much a jeep can rust in a few months!  I pretty much undercoated the bottom with wd40. now I need to stretch it out a bit. How are things with everyone else?

synth line seems to be a good deal, but only 50', would that be long enough?

The synth line on there is for ATVs. The paragraph at the bottom says this:

The 3/16" is recommended for up to 3000lb rated winches.
