ALWAYS put a large jacket,, blanket, on the cable,, or they do sell a cable weight bag,, on the cable when winching,, incase of breaking,,,, there was just a lady killed last year,, when one of the major towing yards was winching a semi out of a ditch,, and the clevis(underrated for job) (not cable) broke, and the cable flew accross the highway,, and killed a women driving buy... not saying a sand bag, pouch would have saved her, but it does,, help to DROP the cable,, if there is a failure... i'd run it,, How many times do you really winch,,, i know,, it only takes one time,, but it only take one time for a "mini van" to pull out in front of you etc....
