viper max

i just ordered a 4000lb viper max with red synthetic rope.

i will try and post install pics when i get it.

Nice choice it will come in handy one of these days.

I have the Viper Max also Bush but it's a 3000lb with the Syn rope

I too have that winch in the 3500lb I believe. I had a nice write up with install pics on PRCFORUM awhile back. I didn't get the synthetic rope though. Wish I would have. As for the winch, I have never had it out, so I can't speak for it, although it does look good on my rzr! LOL

Now you will be able to hit them big mud holes now with no excuse's

I like the just in case feeling of having a winch, used mine I think once now in 1.5 years

i wish i had the winch today. i got stuck about 15ft from the top of a 200ft long hill climb and had to back/slide back down and have 3 guys pushing me sideways to get around a tree. but no pics. :Embarassed:

:104:

My winch has come in handy so far. I winched this truck out last weekend even though they said it would not do it.

Oh.......you will love the rope as opposed to a cable!

No a good feeling without a winch when your in tight areas.
Good choice Bush

Man, those synthetic roes are nice. Keeps from scratching the plastic when you pull RZRs back over on 4 tires.

Planning on winch soon myself, i'll see how yours goes.

Looks Good Bush.....

:Cool: I like the top mount like that .

Sweet set up!!!!!
:Lookin' good:

i have the viper 3500 on the teryx they work great ...really like that warn high mount bumper loooks sik :71:

I need that same setup!

Looks good! I wish I would have gotten the rope now. I may change my cable out for the rope. I think you can get the rope off ebay for like $50.00

Keep the roller fairlead if it doesn't have sharp places in it. It reduces friction by 90%. Will greatly increase the life of your cable(rope). I got mine on ebay for $44 and was $75 cheaper than buying it already on the winch. I bought the 4000# for $179.00, make sure you buy the kit with the snatch block, strap, and both controls.

:Lookin' good:

I was thinking about synthetic rope, and just came across this thread. I love my Viper max 3000 on the rhino, but hate respooling the 50ft steel cable. It sure is a drum full, so I was thinking of going with the rope on the RZR when I get it.

Bush, do you still have this winch? Should I go with the rope instead of the cable?

i still have it. i love the rope. i will not go back to steel cable.

i did break the rope winching the crashed rzr up the hill but i had the rope ran under the rzr winching it up backwards and the rope was rubbing the edge of the bumper and after 3 rehooks it broke. good thing we had another winch and a chain hooked to it or it would have crashed all the way to the bottom.

Thanks Bush. I've heard the rope is much easier to work with and respool. The main reason I went with steel on the Rhino was the price and the constant up and down of the plow in the winter.

I would never want a cable again after having the rope

I have the rope on my 4500 viper elite, and as you guys saw on the spring ride, I have no problem with it being under water and covered over with mud!!!! I guess I should take it out from under there and open it up, clean it out, and put some new grease in there, but out of site, out of mind!! It has never failed to work like a champ.

Bubba, I'm out of Moon Pies!!!!! What is a good ol boy supposed to do without a tastey Moon Pie to finish off a good breakfast?????
