Winch idea.........

I saw similar devices for sale, and thought of a cheaper way. Works well. I slid a large size Kong dog toy over my winch cable to keep tension on my winch cable when not in use to keep it from rattling, and it rides approx midway down the cable to hopefully help dampen the cable if it snapped during use. Total cost: $12.00

I like it. Good idea.
That's a good idea. Ain't it amazin' how much we can think of .
great idea. im goin to try it
Try It.? Heck..Im going to buy one. Thats great. It stops you from having to tighten the cable up when it is hooked to your front rack and chance bending it so it doesnt rattle. AWSOME.
Great idea!

How many of you are using a Kong? And, did it work for you?
i cant find a black one so i just used a rubber bushing off an a arm off a car...
Do you have a Petsmart, or a Petco around your area? They got'em.
It also acts as a " grab place " while pulling out your cable. You don't chance getting metal splinters while pulling or handling it. That, and again you don't have to listen to it rattling down the trails... Mine looks like a.. well a...well...use your imagination... Not the best choice of models, it's just what Walmart had...
haha

rincon you really need to get something else to use for that...

i see my dog playing with his kong everyday and never thought about putting it on there...pure genius....

I'll send you my address........ Just kidding.

When I come up with an idea that works I like to share it. My idea is just a cheap guy's version of the Winch Saver.....
that is an awful pic for people with idle minds...but whatever works...
Sorry guys...It works and is a GREAT conversation piece.. Ha Ha Ha.. I know...for a few more dollars, I will get the ORIGIONAL Kong...
Kong works great. Here's mine.Kind of hard to see.
