Overview
The Trail Gear DuraLine ExoShield Winch Line, part number 303949, is an over-wrapped synthetic winch line with a 3/8-inch Dyneema SK75 core that has a breaking strength of 18,000 lbs. It is designed for off-road winching, where rocks and debris can wear through an unprotected line.
The black Dyneema SK75 over-wrap protects the line from abrasion along its length. The last 12 feet carry a red Kevlar over-wrap that guards against heat from the winch drum, and that red section also shows when only 12 feet of line remain. Trail Gear lists the line as universal fit, so the choice depends on your winch rather than on your vehicle.

Vehicle fitment
Trail Gear lists this line as universal fit, so it is not tied to a specific vehicle. The one winch-specific limit in the description is that Trail Gear TG8000 and TG10000 winch drums only accommodate the 75-foot ExoShield line.
Check your winch’s line capacity before choosing a length.
Installation notes
The heat shrink is already installed over the splice, and the thimble is in place, so the end is ready to attach to the winch. Use the rope guard whenever the line runs over a rock or other edge, and keep the red section in view, since it marks when only 12 feet of line remain on the drum.
What’s included
The line includes a heavy duty gusseted stainless steel thimble with heat shrink on the splice, a G80 Heavy Duty Hook, and a DuraLine Rope Guard.
Not included: a winch to spool the line onto.
