Default Synthetic rope size question
What size synthetic rope are you guys with 9k + winches running? I just traded up to a Rubi Unlimited that had a winch upgrade bolted on the front - Warn 9.5ti

It has never been used, and has wire on it with a hawse fairlead. I have a couple extra Jeep bucks lying around and am going to go synthetic.

What do you guys think?

I went 3/8". If you search out all the different threads on the subject it seems most do. 100' of Viking Trail Line fits nicely on the Warn 9.5

3/8's here as well. Check the synthetic rope manufacturers' site and they should recommend a size as well.
