Snapped Winch Cable

Also had a run-in with the “flying winch cable of doom” that some have spoken of!

Where’d the hook and loop go?

Yep, that’s right…..my cable snapped under a pretty big load. Guess what happened? It fell right to the ground. It did not snap back or anything. (No winch weight either).

Some duct tape should hold it……right?

😉

Actually, that pic was after Zach took back his cable clamps

Used the winch like that a few times the rest of the day with no problems.

Guess it’s time for a new cable.

This is just a reminder that four wheeling can be a dangerous activity if not done correctly. Especially during recovery situations.
