Make sure you have some load on the rope when you're putting it on the winch, like have it pull your Jeep up a slight incline or something. I did not do this and the first time I went to use it, it just kept wrapping tighter and tighter on the winch and not pulling me anywhere... it did eventually but then the rope was a bitch to untangle after the fact.

You probably can put it on a vise and break it free. Lots of PB...

More BFH? They're probably a dealer only item.
