You can also use a section of metal hanger wire to pull the winch rope through the center of the other half. Bend the wire in half, use pliers to put a point on the bent end, and put tape over any cut ends on the wire to secure the line to it. It makes it very easy to pull it through the inside of the rope. A section of hanger wire can easily be stored in the back of the Jeep. Used this method on the trail and it worked great.
Excellent tip to use the socket extension. I wonder if you could use electrical tape to attach the tappered line to the thick end of the socket extension to help pull it through
U da man bro............................................................................................... don't tell trailrecon and adventuredex but you're a better TH-camr
With the Facter5 hook couldn't you thread the rope thru the thimble with out removing the pin when doing a trail repair ? Great video always wondered how this repair is done .
Nice trail repair. If you are back off the trail, an eye splice (marine type) works better, and you lose less length....although it IS a lot more involved.
I don't have a bumber or a winch yet but this is good info to know once I find the ones I want. Do you have any suggestions on bumpers and winches. I have a 2012 Jeep JK Sahara 4 door
Can you usually fit a longer synthetic rope than what cable currently comes on the winch. I have a Smitty 9Klb and was looking to get a synthetic rope of 10Klb of 50' -80'.
So what about putting an eye in both ends of the broken piece of rope? If it's 20' long that could get you that little extra length you need to reach out to an anchor point. And it takes up less room than a strap does. Or make soft shackles out of it.
If you want to keep the winch line as long as possible, you can do an in-line splice and then just a spliced eye at the end, but realistically you will still lose at least half of that 20' in the bury (which is where the strength comes from). The only thing i would change in this video is used what's called a locked Brummell splice, and actually tape the line to the socket extension like a real fid.
Lovely part about synthetic rope is it's so fixable, for plowing snow on with a ATV or SxS , if you line breaks, pull out about 10 feet, then at the ten ft mark expand the rope, feed the cut 45' end into the expanded part of the rope at the 10ft mark. Sew and tie with a needle n fishing line. Now run the rope as a double line, super strong and no more worries about breaking the rope while plowing snow. Come spring, cut the fishing line and expand the jointed spot, pull the rope out and your back to long rope. This idea also works if the rope is in bad shape but pull all the rope out and splice then your at half length but way strong enough to rescue yourself.
I still have a cable, can't make up my mind to switch to rope.sorta worried that if it's that easy to cut,how much better is it than the old steel cable?
If there would be some heat shrink tubing (or whatcha call it in english) in your toolback (which I have), wouldn't that work nicely as well instead of that e-tape? And while putting that e-tape or heat shrink, just put some stick or any smallish rod on it too so you could kinda use it as a sewing needle to get the rope through easily? 🤔
Yeah, I got a knife like that... ;) I hadn'r planned on getting a winch on my XJ, but after my last mishap (not my fault) the only after market bumper I could afford, has a stinger and winch plate. So I'm thinking about it. So for cable, synthetic or steel? Leaning towards synthetic...
So I’m wanting a Jeep Wrangler but I don’t know where to start is there anyway you can help me figure out what style of Jeep is best! Also where to find one. In anyway can you plz help me.
Check out the link I put in the description! Warn just released their new VR series and they look pretty nice! That’s probably what I will be getting shortly
One easier was use a long peace of wire like a coat hanger or something feed that trough the line tape the end of your rope to that and just pull it though
It's already been said a lot but you REALLY should have taped the line to the extension and fed it through. Plus fids are VERY cheap. Buy one and throw in your gear bag
I see comments about using long wire coat hangers but really who Carrys wire coat hangers on the trail? It's a quick trail repair video not a home repair video.

Additional tip - tape the end of the line to the end of the extension - makes this repair a whole lot easier...
Great video. For Non Jeepers or new Jeepers this was great and refreshing and a great skill to learn.
Nice vid! Def helpful. I suggest you tape the tapered end to the metal extension so they don’t detach when you fish it through the winch line.
Great video! Could tape the taped end of the line into the extension to make it thread easier?
I have used a ball point pen and a branch once as well lol nice job hope others will enjoy this and use it
Great Video, I learned something that could be very useful. Thanks!
Excellent tip to use the socket extension. I wonder if you could use electrical tape to attach the tappered line to the thick end of the socket extension to help pull it through
Saved me from buying the tool thanks !
U da man bro............................................................................................... don't tell trailrecon and adventuredex but you're a better TH-camr
This is cool and all, hopefully someone learns something, but let’s hurry up and put the new wheels and tires on the gladiator!!
I learned something new today . Thank you for posting this.
Thank you for this video, I actually needed to this to fix my friends winch
Thanks for the how to, hopefully I won't have to refer back to it, but if I do, just going to go ahead and assume it was a good day on the trail...
Excellent DIY video
Seek Adventures did a video how to make a soft shackle that’s close to the same. This is great info everyone should know how to do in a pinch.
I saw the Aussies do this and I like your way better. It was American taught. OMB
Haha thanks. I’m a big fan of keeping it simple and quick.
Great fix. Thanks Man!!!
great video! Always love to learn new skill especially when it a wheeling fix..Thank you for this two thumbs up!
Great tip on threading bro. Maybe just tape the rope to the extension and use like needle down rope.
Great stuff Ben!
Muchas gracias lo haré!!!
Great easy trail repair
With the Facter5 hook couldn't you thread the rope thru the thimble with out removing the pin when doing a trail repair ? Great video always wondered how this repair is done .
Possibly, sometimes removing the old line from the thimble is difficult. But it would be worth a shot if you couldn’t remove the pin!
Very good video
very well done
So much innuendo 😂 love your videos, man!
Learned something.
I run a steal cable. Works for other line too.
Dude hope you and your family are safe durning the hurricane. Let us all know how it went for you.
Be safe.
Thanks man! We should be fine, up here in Va we won’t get hit hard

Best video since the 1 tons. More please. What does your jku weigh now?
Thanks man! Sad thing is that from a view standpoint this is the worst video since the 1 tons lol. And I’m not sure! I still need to go weigh it
wow genius !

Say mushroom it up one more time!! 🤣🤪
Yeah, Brad.

It’s actually fairly hard to cut. Personally I prefer synthetic. It’s lighter and safer, and can sometimes last longer if you use your winch often.
I may give it a chance,thanks buddy
I bet you could still do the repair with a factor 55 without needing snap pliers or even disassembly.
Insert favorite Michael Scott quote here.

Synthetic!

Most of it depends on your budget. And as to where to find one.. dealerships, Craigslist, Facebook, etc. the usual places you would find cars
Thank you i was thinking about getting a jku
Ben are you real satisfied with the synthetic winchline! I'm considering getting it now.
Yes. I’m a huge fan of synthetic line
@@JKGearandGadgets ya I'm doing bumpers on My Jk and having the synthetic options for the new winch seems to be a natural progression.
I'm going to be getting a 2019 JLU Rubicon in a couple months and recommendations for a whinch/first upgrade I should do?
Check out the link I put in the description! Warn just released their new VR series and they look pretty nice! That’s probably what I will be getting shortly
@@JKGearandGadgets Will do thanks for the reply.
And once you get home and order the new line, you can either do that on the other end and have an extension or just have a spare line.
I guess he forgot to hide the gladiator wheels and tires
Or did he
One easier was use a long peace of wire like a coat hanger or something feed that trough the line tape the end of your rope to that and just pull it though
If you keep feeding it back and forth you multiply times you don’t have to mushroom it through and don’t need as much tail.
And don't forget...... To mushroom it up
Once again, mushroom it up 😂
@@JKGearandGadgets sorry i had to 😂
It's already been said a lot but you REALLY should have taped the line to the extension and fed it through. Plus fids are VERY cheap. Buy one and throw in your gear bag

You are just as likely to have a fid with you as you would that extension.

Exactly
I always wheel immediately after picking up my drycleaning.
Baling wire works too. I always have a spool of that in my tool bag
