Are those EE lines put together by Viking Offroad? Happened to notice many (if not all) of the same components and that seems too coincidental.

I'll tell you what you're missing: posts about barbecue and blurry photos of chicken coops.
I may have been called an EE toadie as well but I prefer Masterpull. I use 100' Masterpull 3/8" Superline XD:

They will rig it however you want it. I use a hook:

That Masterpull XD line is bitchin. And, according to Justin, it's all about the breaking strength. :yawn:
But like I said, I don't care if your rope is 1" thick and has a rating of 1,000,000lbs, it's going to break sooner or later.

If they use 3/8" Amsteel-blue then the link I posted shows average breaking stength is 19,600 lbs. You can read all the other stats on that page. I think that's the specs in addition to all the things they add to the line(e.g. protection and end bits). I don't know if that's the exact same line they're using but there's a start and it's double the 10k random number that was thrown out there.
This thread is just back and forth show me the numbers. Use google or any search engine to find Amsteel-blue data. No idea about the other lines in question.
Guess it just goes to show people will buy anything.
Can I interest you in a hood mounted light bar?

You don't read no how.
Frank,
Post some pictures to the soft shackle thread I started....500 posts and I get a shirt to match the hat. I've used the piss out of those death ropes, but yet to use them off road. They work great for pulling motors. They fit in exhaust manifolds better than chains, which makes pulling motors quicker and easier. Can't do that with a dring.
Why is it a bad purchase? Let's see, Justin explains in detail what the breaking strength of the rope is and that it's available with a new safety thimble on it. I look up the info on the safety thimble, like what I see and buy it. So some to info on my BAD purchase..
It's a bi-color winch rope with a tested, de-rated breaking strength of 18k.
It has a 10' chaff protector and has a hoop spliced on the end and that has NEW product attached to it.
It's a billet aluminum safety thimble. A product that is stronger and lighter than a winch hook. It connects with a 5/8" steel pin, which is removable and provides secure means of stowing the rope.
Sorry Dan, I didn't consult your vast knowledge base before I made a this really bad decision. I actually researched the product with the manufactures and not some fucking asshole on a bulletin board was panties are in a bunch over a, heaven forbid, a new product that he hasn't seen or used.
Get the fuck off your horse, it's getting old, so shut your fucking piehole until you can PROVE that either product is inferior, not with 300 paragraph posts, but with real world use

So you want me to prove to you that some other rope is better, or worse, with real world experiences? Is that to say you made your decision with real world experiences? Seems to be that would be hard to do since you've never used this rope you bought, and I bet you could never, ever, provide testing data on the POS ProLink thing you bought because chances are it does not exist.
So lets see, who do I trust more? The person providing examples of different ropes, prices, uses, etc.. Or do I trust the salesperson selling the rope to pay his electric bill? The term used car salesman comes to mind here...
So I'm still waiting to hear why the L8 rope is better than the EE rope at the same price. After 3 pages of posts, I guess it's a question that just cannot be answered.
And for the record, this has nothing to do with Justin. I just think it's a shitty product with an inflated price tag.

Hey everyone, stop the world...Dan say's that this winch rope and safety thimble are a shitty product and over priced. Better not buy one, I mean, come on, Dan say's it's weak and stupid. Dan's say's that just because you talk to the "salesman" on the phone providing the product that it's not good enough to prove it's worth. It has to be posted over on a website site with pretty pictures and a write up of from one those "salesman" to give it value. Because, you know, that gives it "instant" credibility. There is zero difference between talking to a "salesman" and reading shit a "salesman" posted. It just a different way of selling the product. The reality is that I trust the Lucky8 rope products because of the testing that's been done in the past on other products. Has EE posted video of their products being destroyed?
My question is when Justin does provide the data, and real world experience with using both these products, are you going to continue being a fucktard? We all know you don't like the thimble, so don't buy one

Sorry Dan
I should have canceled my commitments at Overland, the air line tickets, hotel and told all the people that were coming out to help me never mind because Dan needs to see graph.

Normally I see your point on things but I am lost with this one.
I think Bret summed it up.

We buy these trucks because we like them not because they are the best value.
Ps
Please go back to busting my balls and when I get caught up I will post up why I feel the rope is a better value.

....and still nothing.
Come on and post up those test results. I mean, as busy as you are you don't have time to cut/paste? Or do you have to make up the numbers first?

Now you're putting words into my mouth. Yes, I think it a dumb idea. But I never said it was "weak". You said that. If you want to remain creditable, post facts, not made up shit.
Mongo said:
I have some beautiful swamp land for sale in Florida. I also have some really cool hood mounted light bars. Come talk to me and I'll tell you how great they are and how you should buy one.
Mongo said:
No, the difference is they take the time to tell you why they chose to sell the product they did. They tell you why they chose the hook they did. They tell you why they chose the thimble they did. They tell you why they chose the type of line they did.
A Lucky8, his spokesperson who started this thread, posted a picture of a rats nest tangled up in his driveway with no description as to what we're even looking at. And lets be honest, it's a plain old winch line with a fucking safety thimble on the end of it. That's it. Nothing more, nothing less. It's a combo deal.
Mongo said:
I'm not saying the rope is going to beak as soon as you use it. I'm saying it's a poor value and that the ProLink is a pile of shit.
Mongo said:
And what would that prove? I don't care what winch line you use, it's going to break sooner-or-later.
Mongo said:
Apparently the data does not exist otherwise he would have copy/paste the information.
But that's beside the point. He's going to have to show me, in detail, why I should buy his line over another line for the same price. I don't think he can do that because there is nothing special about his line other than the POS ProLink thing. I can buy the same line Justin is selling for $220.00 some place else.
