I bought the Smittybilt XRC gen 3 back in April and installed it shortly after.
I’ve never had to use the winch until yesterday to pull 2 people out. The first truck came out no problem, then on the second truck the rope snapped about 2 feet from the jeep.
I’m kinda shocked the rope broke so easily, considering it’s never been used and the beginning of the rope wasn’t exposed to excess UV.
Has anybody seen this happen before, know if there’s a warranty (doubt it but couldn’t hurt to ask), and/or advice on how to reuse a frayed rope?
