Well, I suppose that could have been the reason. Or...well, nevermind.
Well it wasn't just the drinking, but the police would arrest you for just about anything they could think up. I knew a guy that was arrested because he was "smuggling weapons," by forgetting he left his helmet in the trunk of his car... and other similar incidents caused TJ to just be declared off limits entirely.

Cable? boooo. JMO
If the 12,000 Lb winch is practically free, per his implication, then getting a new cable to replace the bad one (he kinked it) shouldn't be bad, and will free up some money to get a good winch plate.

And you've met the guy too... He was in the Orange JK Willys driving behind you at Uwharrie.

Are there any issues using that type of fairlead with a steel cable?
Yeah, You wouldn't use Gary's with a steel cable, it would get torn up. A steel uses rollers.

That's what I was thinking. I'm still looking into what cable to get to replace the old one so a Synthetic is not off the table.

I'd push for the synthetic line for a bunch of reasons.

Highly recommended. IMHO
