Re: Steel or Synthetic Cable for a winch

WINCH MOUNT FOR YAMAHA WOLVERINE

It all tucks in quite nicely ( if I don't say so myself....

Mile High Lake Resort

Its about 3 hours from Vancouver..we always stop in Merritt for groceries then its 25 minutes on hwy5 to the Lac La Jeune exit, double back across the bridge and go down the old Logan lake road for about 3 km's . Look for the paved turnoff on your right, its well marked. Stay on the main road (paved...
