Synthetic winch rope inspection, cleaning, washing, and maintenance

[JKbrick]

Instead of spooling row on top of row, you crisscross each row diagonally so when the rope is tight and being pulled, it doesn't squeeze into the row below it and cause a tangle.

So back and forth just on an angle instead of straight like a garden hose reeler

It's all personal preference. I don't crisscross and have never had a tangling issue. Guess I'm lucky.

I dont criss-cross either, But I do spool under load. using either a tree in the yard, my wife's car, or another jeep if a buddy is over. Once it gets to "criss-crossed" that's when I know its time to clean and re spool.
