Who Sells Winches Without Steel Line Included? (1 Viewer)

Hi all, hope all is well, yes I searched, a little, ... I am getting closer and closer to getting a winch and was wondering who sells winches without steel line included? Reason I ask is I am pretty positive that I'm going to run synthetic winch line for the reduced weight and increased safety but I cannot find a winch vendor who sells winches without the line. If the first thing I do is strip the steel line off and replace with synthetic line, it does not make sense to pay for the steel or the shipping to get it here along with winch. Any thoughts on this??? Thanks.

I've seen a few sell used without the cable. For new, I'd just sell the cable locally or on Ebay and make some money back.

Thanks Cory, so basically that boils to "no one sells without steel line", and that's alright, just something to factor in. Thanks man.

I'll bet the new cable that you remove from the winch will fetch some good coin on Ebay and offset some of your synthetic rope cost


more if you throw in the fairlead you can't use anyway
