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.
