Don't listen to that BS. The winch should come pre-spooled and will be ready to go. "Setting" the winch line is a good idea if you are re-spooling but you are not doing so, typically, with a new winch with it's own cable.

Dumbass makes it sound like something will happen if you don't "stretch" it before you "use it." That's not why one pre-stretches wire winch rope. You spool it under load so that it lays properly and the wire fibers don't bunch. It has nothing to do with using the rope for the first pull.

For instance, you could spool up the first layer and hook it up for the first time and winch yourself out and be just fine.

Like the others stated, I do not think stretching is needed. It is important to stow line cable on spool with a load applied. The reason for this is so the cable does not cut down into the other spooled cable underneath.

I like it! Did you put the warn bumper on? It looks like a chrome badge on it, or a chrome plate behind the cutout.

You have to spool the rope under tension to set a memory to the wire rope, this makes it easier to spool the next time you use it. Second, you need to make sure the lower wraps are nice and tight. You will not be able to always be on the first wrap when you use your winch the first time, if you were able to do that, stretching wouldn't apply. If you don't think you need to stretch the rope, call Warn, ramsey, or MM.

Paragon, why do I have to be a dumbass, I've been wheeling for 20 years. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>Hardly the explanation you gave above when you told them to "stretch" their cable.

I suggest you call Warn, Ramsey or MM. Their winches come pre-spooled with the cables already set, requiring no additional action on the purchaser's part. Only when you spool up a new line should you follow a specific regimen to get the most out of one's winch and winch line.

I'm not sure why you have to be such a dumbass. You also posted that a 9500lb winch will pull a 7000lb truck around all day long. Maybe you forgot to ask Warn, Ramsey or MM about the part where you should try to match your winch at 1.5 times the weight of the vehicle. While the 9.5xp will suffice, it will barely suffice and will be anemic in many situations while trying to pull the H2.

And I've been wheeling for over 20 years.

I don't have to wheel Hummers for a living, I do it for the fun of it.

Hall held an HH at Crozet last year and it seems to have gone over well. We couldn't make it because we were in MOAB!!!!

Thanks. Hummer dealer sold it and put it on for me. They're also putting my Fabtech tie rods on. I figure, that way, they will have a more difficult argument about any warranty voiding if that ever comes up.

I know that guy, he had a '01 H1 soft top, so he could obviously afford a POS H2. He wheels that Jeep, its not a daily driver...

Very nice.. the winch looks stock. Great job! When done right (like this) it looks like it was always this way.
