s0l0ithz:
Rope or wire which os better? And a 8k or 9k is enough for a tj right?

Wingman:
8k is plenty for a TJ, synthetic rope is better but wire cable is cheaper.

s0l0ithz:
Why is it better no wire splinters

Wingman:
Safer.  Doesn't store energy like the wire.  If it were to break, it just falls to the ground instead of slingshoting the hook and wire around.

Just get a cover for it.  The synthetic is susceptible to UV rays.

MrMindless:
The only up side to wire is more abrasion- and UV-resistant. Synthetic doesn't rust though, so its almost a push there.

Many synthetics will include 10' of a nylon jacket for abrasion and top layer sun cover. Some high end are fully jacketed but you're gonna pay for that.
