I really like the synthetic rope on the two winches I had/have. It reduce the weight a good amount, plus synthetic is so much easier and safer to work with.
The rope inside yours looked to be synthetic, that's why I asked.

Advanced Truck Morgan Hill. Great guys. Ask for Eddie.
As for the plate, it’s going to sit on a mounting plate that attaches to the Fairlead rollers, and stored in the back. When/if I get stopped (on my car it happens every 10 years or so), it’s a fix-it and I pop it on to get it approved, then take it off and wait another decade. One of the other advantages of going with a cable vs. synthetic rope, at least in Commiefornia.

My Superline is almost 20 years old, never failed and it's pulled so much I am surprised it's not twice as long. Its incredible stuff, it comes from the oil industry. The guy that owns the company is a great guy and unless they have changed their operations I sent mine in every year for inspection and repair, never cost a dime and they FEDX at no charge.
Cable vs Superline: IF Superline breaks it falls to the ground, in fact you can hold it in your hand as it breaks. Cable, saw it cut off a man's leg, cut completely thru right below the knee when the steel cable broke. Steel retains a LOT of energy, Just below the dam at Lake Dallas we used to wheel out there Corp of Engineers let us on nights after dark. Guy was pulling a truck out of the mud when the trailer ball snapped and the cable came back and hit is wife in the cab of the truck right in the forehead. They medvac'd her out but she was DOA. That stopped all off road fun back in early 80's and to this day its still no access for off road vehicles.
