alright this is not a thread about rope vs cable this is simply a thread about what people use to keep there cable from rusting.

 

[Not Jobless]

I replaced the cable with rope, ended the rust issue.

Hose it down with WD40 once in a while.

I have rope on da buggy too but on the international dt466 flat bed at work the cable is getting crusty so time to spray it down with some wd40 I was going to try some boshield.

I've never done any kind of preventive rust maintenace for my cable. Not a speck of rust on it. I just hose off the mud..

 

[Jay Luke]

jsut hose it down with PB-Blaster. Works awesome. Or like earlier said. Astro-Glide works pretty good too

Reading comprehension POOP...Its a cable on the back of a tow truck. I think a nice stainless hinged cover that was electropolished would look banging.
