Hi @Kailas just checking this is still going ahead tomorrow, thanks

[Kailas]

Dear @Watteau, 

Yes, as long as we have 3 RSVP, the drive is still on. 

Tomorrow we have got a very short convoy, which is great.

Plus you have got a winch😃

Perfect, lets do it!!, just got the winch line replaced after a minor mishap, I got one of the bubba rope lines that terminates directly into a soft shackle, rather than a hook or block, any excuse to try it out, see you tomorrow evening.

I'd love to know where you got a soft shackle for a winch. My tow hook bolt snapped off, and to be on the safe side, soft shackle seems better. Any suggestions ?

Hi, Just to caveat I'm not advising you to make any modifications to your winch line, my new winch line terminates in a soft shackle, its part of the line, if you are left just with the loop on the end of the winch line and your hook has come off, and your winch manufacturer specifies a hook or block, then I wouldn't deviate from that, A high tension winch line is not something to self rig. Replacement pins and hooks are available or look at factor55, they make a selection of winch terminations to fit standard winch rope end loops.
