H/T to integrity. Selling a product to IMPROVE an existing system without having to replace the entire system - and then reminding the slow kids in the back how we used to build relationships in the not too distant past: honesty.
I can see how it's going to be safer. I have been watching different shows that are using yankem ropes. The results are great and much safer than chains or steel cables. Great episode. Keep em coming.
I see the splicing video as good customer relations. As the working end of the rope gets worn people can cut back and make a new eye getting more use out of the investment in other uses as they buy a replacement winch line from a company that wants them to get full value.
Recall our destroyers boatswain's mate (BM) making up the ends of 2.5 inch mooring hawsers in much the same way in 1978. Besides the size, one key difference was that tattletales were woven into the mooring lines so you could tell by sight when a line had reached its maximum recommended stretch. In extreme cases, under load, you’d see the seawater flash off as the line stretched. There was always a chance of a mooring hawser parting if mooring evolution was not done correctly (ship was over 3,400 tons fully loaded). BM manual (all 700 pages) is free online. Worth a read if you’re interested in rigging, line maintenance.
How do you mean “ Flash Off” ? And could you explain the “Tattle Tails”? I also think that Hawsers were Dynamic versions designed to stretch verses Static. Once upon a time I learned that about Climbing Rope and Repelling rope. Back then for me was circa 1989-90. Funny I still have the thoughts to wash by dunking and brushing off dirt depending on if it’s starting as mud or dry dirt, and never ever power washing a rope or strap to clean it, as sharp abrasive grains cut fibers each time it’s left to stretch and hanging it up to dry... more difficult in winter but all so important for longevity of the rope!
@@andrewostrelczuk406 - internally as mooring hawsers are stretched during ship’s mooring process the space between the nylon fibers become tighter. At some point all sea water that seeped into the hawser is expelled. It just happens so fast at times that it appears the water “flashed off” the line. Looked up the BM manual just to be sure: USN Boatswain Mate manual (all 700 pages are available as a PDF online) - “When wet, synthetic line shrinks slightly and minimal swelling may occur. When the line is tensioned, the water squeezes out; and under working loads, it appears as vapor. Because line under tension develops friction, and thus heat, the water has a beneficial cooling effect. Nylon loses 15 percent of its strength from water being absorbed by nylon molecules.” BM manual offers a true wealth of knowledge on rigging, rope preventative maintenance, handling, etc. Worth a read if you’re interested in this topic.

Casey well done once again. Alan from Yankum is very innovative and his approach to solving problems is obvious he listens to real people and ideas. Also it is apparent that he is not being controlled by corporate greed. Oh he drives Cruiser so he has good taste.🇦🇺
Came across this video by chance…glad I did. Like the lightheartedness, honesty and technical info. I have a ‘91’ Cruzr and starting to look at getting accessories….Been watching a lot of TH-cam….keep coming up with the product you are showing…Your delivery is very refreshing, you dont talk down to ‘newbies’, very respectful….thank you.
The Tuck Away system is truly a game changer. I have used mine many times and it has worked perfectly every time. Then when you put it away it leaves a nice clean look on your rig. Thank you for the great presentation.
I remember that video when they 'rolled' their rig. It was scary A F! Glad it worked out and Matt was able to get it stopped. Thank you Allen for all that you do supporting Casey and the community. You guys are all great! All the best, Be safe and God Bless.
OMG I want one! (The most awesome RV). A wonderful gentleman who has a passion and has loved life. Casey: "The shag is great! Don't change a thing!" .....Absolutely!
Thanks for the demonstration. Much needed I appreciate every demo, if anybody would know it would be you cause your in the field using the equipment. God bless you guys and as always be safe 👍
I can see that to keep it rolling ! I have 6 different trucks in my truck and now it’s better than factory, and repair part off the shelf fit without any problems.
Knowing how to retie the loop on the end of a wench rope is great knowledge no mater what brand wench rope you have. At some point it may become necessary out in the wilds to have the ability to fix your own rope
Love Yankum’s 80, I’ve had my old 1995 oil burner for 16 years and it’s like a child to me, they can bury me in it when my time comes. Good job guys.👍🏻🇷🇴
The receiver piece there's really cool and nice clean look when still put away. That is awesome to show you how to do the loop on your own. Can't wait to see how that rope is made
Towboaters have been doing this with damaged lines for year this is actually how I personally have a couple tow ropes built up learned this technique when I was on the water myself definitely a great setup and provides plenty of strength
Hey Casey That is an amazing Fairlead idea. Tis way cool that the man in charge of a great company like YANKUM Ropes will get out in the field to visit with and adventure with another business operator such as yourself. But then off roading in any form is generally pretty much an individual adventure ! Thumbs up for YANKUM Ropes as well as CASCADE Heavy Recovery. Both companies I would want to do business with should the need arise. Thank you for making your videos, and for allowing the world to join you in your adventures. Stay Warm, Be Well
The simplest things can be the most dangerous things when offroading. We let a are guard down on the simple stuff vs being hyper vigilant on harder stuff. I watched both those videos of that rollover and glad nobody was hurt. Good to see that rig back on the road and trail!
It's funny, I've been doing this same concept for a few years with a soft shackle and synthetic line, just without a fancy fairlead. I always wondered why more people weren't doing it.
I agree with the concept of getting rid of as much metal as possible in the whole system...... working on 4x4 frame and axles made from synthetic rope but haven't quite figured out how to do it yet.
Nice fairlead like how it is built and works,yankum ropes are the best rope you can buy. Great video of two great guy’s having fun. Thanks for sharing.☺️☺️☺️👍👍👍👍
Wow. This is quite timely as I'm planning my bumper/winch install and considering hook alternatives. For added UV protection, what about making an impact rubber cover for the fairlead? Even more protection, especially if you are spending time in the sand or you live where they put down tons of salt every winter.
I'm sure I'm not the first but I used a yankum rope before there was a yankum rope. This was probably 25 years ago. I had to pull something with my truck and used a lariat to accomplish the task. I was shocked when I came to the end of the rope and had no jarring like you get with a chain. I was in the Navy and heard all kinds of horror stories of people and even metal objects getting cut in two when mooring lines snapped, so I was a bit apprehensive about that lariat snapping. But the way these winch ropes are made today their weave absorbs a bunch of the whip action when and if they break. By the weave loosening so much most of the whip is absorb within the rope itself. I'm still freaked at the amount of weight these ropes can pull even some times more then the steel cables. Nice invention but folks still need to be safe as much as possible with anything under that much stress. I bought mine not for my own safety but these jeeps are so stinking expensive now days I wasn't interested in the front of my jeep being destroyed if it was hit with a snapping steel cable. Nice video.
That was Awesome! I like the whole concespt and execution with this. Also very cool of Allen to come out to you to do this video. Very cool as well that his is a family business based and operating in Idaho/PNW. Looking fgorward to seeing the factory tour when you go.
Now, to complete the set you would need some kind of cover or plastic cap, so that nothing passes this metal rope protection. Certainly a dry rope end is much easier to work with in such conditions.
I like this, what a great idea! I did first see a test mule of this on Nate's channel, but to see one put on an existing winch setup, from start to finish was great! I'll go so far as to say it is the next "must have" as far as synthetic rope recovery products go.
Only thing I wish is a fairlead with screws to mount front license plate (for states that require front license plate ) instead of adding another mount hint 👀
Back when I installed my first synthetic winch line on my XJ over 20 years ago I dumped the hook and used a hammer lock link. Everyone in the Jeep club "didn't" like or trust that "new fangled line" then I was dragging out a CJ 5 stuck to the fenders in muck out with it. I had 2 other Jeep's attached to back of my XJ and it was pulling all 3 of us in to the muck too. First use of the synthetic line. Now I've only got a few winches running steel cable. The only use I've got for steel cable is to use for a gate or a limited use winch.
Interesting variation of a boat cleat with a Hause pipe through hull. Been used on small craft ships for more than my 67 year of life. Well I like my daddy used to say he's the engineer who came up with the white line on the side of the road. "Nothing is greater than an idea that's time has come!" Which is something I've been saying to Nate, at Dirt Lifestyle for about two maybe three years now. 😁😂🤣
What’s great idea. I want one and I don’t even own an off road vehicle. I’ve wanted a Jeep for years, life’s just gotten in the way for a while… Subscribed to the Yankum channel also.

Good review Casey. Just used the ol track jeep and a mini cluster- 8274 warn set up in the high country Washington cascades around 0200 am this morning. One cold mama. Sheesh…
This is ironic. Couple weeks ago I spoke with Alan at the 4x4 winter jamboree in Hurricane UT and asked if he knew of you. You were using the yankum rope with winch preload and I asked Alan if that would damage the rope. He concurred that he knew you and that it was just fine to use the yankum rope that way. Good job... we all learn something every day.
Yep, doesn't hurt the rope, but you do need to keep in mind that you are adding a huge amount of recoil if something let's go. All the safety factor of using synthetic over cable is out the window at that point
@@CaseyLaDelle Here in OZ we'd use a winch extension rope not kinetic.Also if you ever replace a synthetic winch rope keep the best of it and add a couple of loops not much weight and could be handy.
@@ashbristol2893 the reason for using the kinetic rope is not to gain extension, it's to have a constant pull on the vehicle as it comes out of where it's stuck, even if it moves faster than the winch
Where did you get the winch mount for the 2inch receiver man?!?!? Just got a badland winch but I’m not gonna buy a winch bumper lol! I wanna be able to slap mine from front to back when needed!
Hey Casey nice video buddy. Must have been a blast to hang out with Al from Yankum ropes man I would I would have pissed my pants if I ever met him face to face and very nice of him to want to be able to show people how to make their own you know that's pretty cool of him but also that drive that you guys took up and down that snow road that was beautiful that's a beautiful sight man so glad everything went well that rope looks good on that winch of yours keep up the good work on the recording cuz I'm still watching thanks man have a blessed day
Roller fairleads are better for synthetic rope than Hawse leads. Rollers have a larger bend radius and stress the rope much less. Hawse look cool and are lighter which is the only benefit. It would be cool if they came up with a similar rope end storage solution for rollers.... maybe a rubber plug that can get wedged in the rollers
You guys got more snow? Dry as a bone down here in Southern Oregon. That fairlead is slick! No winch on my 2020 Cherokee (I use a portable drill winch, with 2-3 recovery rings to up its pull for self recovery), but I'd sure get one if I had a mounted winch. I'm getting away from dee ring shackles and going to soft shackles as well. Kinda had to when I started switching from snatch blocks to recovery rings. Safer and much much less weight to lug around. I bought a Bubba rope soft shackle and its quality is way better than others I've seen.
I saw the video where Matt's Jeep was landed on. I figure there was a couple hundred feet before the white Land Rover would have rolled into the trees on the steep hill.
i like the idea of using the rope without the hook attatched permanently. my reason - stolen and damage ! since there are many trigger happy kleptomanic adults and children here
Did I miss something? Is there a cover that goes over the winch line to protect it from UV rays? And when you hook a harbor freight hook to a recovery point on a vehicle, typically a metal bow shackle, how is the metal hook going to be a problem if the winch rope breaks?
Just today I bolted up a new OpenRoad 9500 Winch on my Chevy Trail Boss. Put it on a Receiver Mount, and it has a synthetic rope. Looks I might need a new Fairlead. Still waiting on a Front Receiver, for front or rear use. Hah! In fact, I have that same Receiver Mount that Casey has there on that Jeep.

Nice!
It's amazing the technology that it took to make a synthetic rope that's as strong as a much heavier and more dangerous to use metal cable
Excellent demonstration. Your channel is entertaining aswell as educational. Oh and when the opportunity arises I enjoy your sightseeing adventures
wow if you were ever in a situation you needed to combine more lines you could take that off and use it as a shackle too. Very cool invention!
Preordered. What a GREAT idea!

I'm getting away from dee ring shackles and going to soft shackles as well. Kinda had to when I started switching from snatch blocks to recovery rings. Safer and much much less weight to lug around. I bought a Bubba rope soft shackle and its quality is way better than others I've seen.
Casey did you want to send your old winch line to Australia. Would love one downunder. Cant afford to buy one. ANDY AUSTRALIA
Nice stuff 👏 👌 👍 🙌
I have one question, what if you have to pull a vehicle in an angle? Will the synthetic line slide in thru the fairlead with no issues?
Yep, pull at any angle no problem
Do the ropes / winch line have a shelf life how long can it set in my truck
All depends on how they are stored and in that weather conditions
Are you guys going to Hollywood after this?
Great video . . . less metal, safer breakage and hands. Cheers.
I saw the video where Matt's Jeep was landed on. I figure there was a couple hundred feet before the white Land Rover would have rolled into the trees on the steep hill.
Probably far safer so you aren't launching a 5 pound weight if a winch line breaks - if you use soft shackles throughout.
QUESTION: Where to buy those cluster hooks?!?! Love that idea!
Amazon or any tow truck supply company.
Casey, Negan (Walking Dead), good look on you! 🤘…with support from Sandy OR
i like the idea of using the rope without the hook attatched permanently. my reason - stolen and damage ! since there are many trigger happy kleptomanic adults and children here
Did I miss something? Is there a cover that goes over the winch line to protect it from UV rays? And when you hook a harbor freight hook to a recovery point on a vehicle, typically a metal bow shackle, how is the metal hook going to be a problem if the winch rope breaks?
What about the fiber rope Matt's buddy sells that the ends will slip bigger?
"Bleepin Jeep"
Great video and product! Question: Did you guys plan on dressing alike? lol :)
Nice i need one!
Just today I bolted up a new OpenRoad 9500 Winch on my Chevy Trail Boss. Put it on a Receiver Mount, and it has a synthetic rope. Looks I might need a new Fairlead. Still waiting on a Front Receiver, for front or rear use.
Hah! In fact, I have that same Receiver Mount that Casey has there on that Jeep.
sold. on a different note,. what size are your swampers? i have some ltb's on my zr2 - 34x10.5/17. great tires.
36x12.50x15
Alan is a neat guy. Fab Rats helped him to put rock crawlers on one of his rigs.
