Be prepared for some of the worst customer service out there
I didn't know WabFab made those.

Is this what you have Sean?
yes, minus the round CV boot outer. Since they where the initial run they look like a standard CV. However the internals are all chromoly.

Isn't that amazing. I don't get that shit. Pay a fortune just to be treated like shit.

the Interweb's
One of the guys that I go out racing with is getting rid of his 930 setup on his race car and I noodle about just trying Roger Fab to convert the inner to a 930 cv. I think I was drunk!

Out with the old
In with the new
Replaced the 7 year old Superline with some Spiderwire. Old was rated at 21000 lbs, new is at 33000lbs. Replaced safety hook with ProLink. Its not as flexible and it maybe weighs a pound more. But its a tighter weave for sure. We'll see.

Also need to install this on my Warn PulZall.
Interesting to see the condition of the old cable after 7 years.

It was in better shape than I would have guessed. Its the sun that kills them. So with the old rope the last foot or so stuck out of the fairlead and was exposed to the sun. That was the only spot I would question. The new one has a 6' scuff protector sleeve over it, this with the ProLink means the line should last a very very long time as it is not really exposed to the sun. The winch drum was rusty as shit though. I hit it with a die grinder and scotchbright disc to clean it up. Then repainted. If you look at the old rope photo, the red parts of the rope (there to tell you its spooled out too far and also a heat resistant layer) there was black paint like stuck to the rope, I thought it was melted rope at first but its just paint.

Nice! I figured you would've gotten the factor 55 flatlink?

I was on the fence with it, I was looking at the FlatLink E. But I've always liked the ProLink so I just went with it. It does stick out a little more than I imagined it would. Guess it will take some getting used to.

Just don't go nosing the bumper into any vertical walls and it should be fine
