Hi Moggs
Futher to our talks on a previous post would you be able to provide the contact details to enable us to import some some rope from the USA
The price you mention sounds petty good, so I will give it a try.
It all adds to knowledge and experience
Thanks
Ray

Hi Ray,

No problem, happy to give the supplier a plug as they were a pleasure to deal with.

I purchased mine from www.okoffroad.com. I made an enquiry via their website and then corresponded and got a firm quote via email. I then phoned to pay via credit card however I am pretty sure you can do it online.

I also purchased an ARB Sahara Bar compatible aluminium hawse to use with the rope off them. They went to great lengths to ensure I got the right hawse ie. for a recessed bar with 'feet forward' mounted winch - the hawse has mounting holes drilled off centre to ensure the rope tracks correctly.

They provided excellent service, and fast shipment. They ship regularly to Australia.

I bought 100 ft of 5/16 Amsteel Blue which was $120 at the time. I think they now list it at $159. With about $30 shipping (US Dollars) it should all come to about US$189 or just under AU$250 landed (at current exchange rates).

It is a little bit more than what I paid (maybe you can do better than their listed price( ...hint...hint) however it is still half the price you would pay here.

Hi Moggs
Just as an interest thing
I have just completed the Rotorua winch challenge
15 SS we dnfed on ss 14 and did not start ss15 no winch
My truck was not ready so I codrove for a mate
We were running a modified 8274 with 8 hp motor and it was spooled up with one of the new ropes on the market in NZ. I will get the brand name for you as my brain has died and I can not remember what it was.
We blew a battery up so that put an end to our run
We came 14th and there was only 15 secs between 10 th and 15 th
