I have 2 really good Amsteel Blue ropes that are cut, right at the clevis. Is there anyone out there that will fix them or know anyone that does? Thanks in advance

How to replace the thimble in your Amsteel Blue Winch Rope

Thanks for the video. My thimble is gone, I lost it on the trail. Starting over with a fresh piece of rope. Is it the same way?

Re:

You can buy rope/cable thimbles at tractor supply. I've had to splice/repair/shorten a bunch of winch ropes.

I like to cut about 25' off a new rope and make an extension, but only run ~70' on the winch itself.

i did the same as Nick.
i shortened my m8000 and run 70ish feet and have an extension.
Just re-thimbled another rope on AJ79's blazer the other day.
I like the tube thimbles over the flimsier ones from TSC
