Best price I found was through Stan at Northridge.  Last time I spoke to him, he had some odd sizes in stock like 85', etc...

In my experience and the last coupe outings have stressed the point. I would stick with a weir rope. They are cheaper and they put up with abuse. My last winch out, the rope was rubbing ageist a rock face and the winch before that earlier in the day the rope was ageist under brush. In both cases a synthetic rope could have easlly been cut.
If you are working on a budget go with the wire rope.
Give Bear a call in Edmonton 403.651.1621 He can ship to your door, He beat North Ridgs price on synthetic rope as well.
Why does your Jeep say Toyota on it?
The obstacle is the path.

If you want cheap, steel is probably the way to go. Synthetic is great stuff, but it's not cheap.

If you're going to abuse it and end up replacing it, steel is definitely the way to go.
I followed a rainbow out to a garage and found a leprichaun. The rainbow ended in a potted cactus on his porch, but there was no gold :(
