Warn is about 150ish.

Roughly .50 a foot, or in the range of 65.00-79.00.

WOW! thats cheap, I have a cable of the 8274 winch I baught recently and its in great shape, want winch rope instead so I figured I would sell it. damn its hardly worth nothing. ohwell, thanks for the input.

Put an eye on each end and use it as an extension for the rope -- saves you getting the longer rope. Could cut it in two and do two shorter extensions.

I paid $80 for 150' of 3/8" Last year, and it came with a hook.

Unless the current cable you have is factory brand new, Im not sure your going to get much of anything for your it. Most people wont take the chance of using used cable. That length of Syn Rope will run in the mid $200 range.

I too am ready to replace my cable on my 8274 and Im seriously thinking about running 125' of 3/8 wire rope. Its around the same breaking strengths but half the price. I cant ever remember anyone I know who has had 3/8 wire rope break before they ripped the winch from the vehicle however 150' of syn rope would be much easier to pull up a steep hill IF I ever had to use it
