Has anyone else encountered damaged rope? I have a new rope that I have used once. It was a straight on pull out of mud using a snatch block anchored to another Jeep . When I went to clean the rope later and inspected it, I found several burn marks like this one and the entire line itself was full of loose fibers.
What could have possibly caused this? I controlled the line from outside of the Jeep to ensure it fed on the spool nicely.
