[QUOTE=Getaklu;320963]One thing I didn't see mentioned in all of this is the fact that the synthetic rope can be spliced easily in the field if a break would happen. It was one thing that got my attention when buying a new winch. There are a couple of kits sold for doing so. Factor 55 addresses it in an article comparing the strength of splicing to knotting, a fairly interesting and quick read.

The sun here will eat it up and make it weak.[/QUOTE]
I also picked up one of these covers to help protect the rope from sun and road grime.
