I've had the same Warn X8000i for the last 19 years. I've replaced 2 solenoids in that time and of course I switched to rope probably 9 years ago. The rope I use is from Custom Splice and I've never had an issue from it. I used their fairlead until the last redo on my buggy when I built a fairlead into my front tube work. Travis...easleycrawler picked up a Smittybilt winch a few years ago for his first winch. It worked good...not great. It was SLOOWWWWW and we all know when our junk is on its lid we want it back on its wheels as quick as we can make happen in a safe manner. Near the end of the time he owned it the solenoid went out also. They use a self contained solenoid pack so running down to Napa for a replacement wasn't in the cards. He sold that winch and picked up a Warn M8000 with synthetic line recently for a great price. That should be the last winch he ever buys...
