If itās parked outside where sun can hit it, keep it covered. Go by harbor freight and buy a couple of ratchet strap extensions ( like 2 bucks). Keep on in the everything drawer in the kitchen ( they are about 2 feet long) and one in the back yard where the sun can hit it). Look at both monthly.
seeing the difference after two months will set in your mind just how damaging UV radiation is to these materialsā¦ā¦ and may also cause you to wear a hat if youāre going to be out in the sun. Itās sucks for any kind of synthetic strap/rope, it really sucks for skin and a MOHS procedure is no great time eitherā¦.. thankfully I wasent that handsome to begin with and facial scars keep the riff raff away
For me, my winch sits inside the bumper so the factory cover doesn't fit. Instead I bought some rubber matt from amazon and with a little shaping with scissors... Have mine covered.
