For you hardcore off-roaders and off-road trainers, the new UltraHook Rope Guard provides complete synthetic rope protection from damaging UV light as well as impact and abrasion damage. As you can see, when using the Rope Guard, all exposed synthetic rope surfaces are positioned behind the guard and fairlead, allowing you to use the Rope Guard as a skid surface when attempting to climb tall vertical obstacles. Made from Kaiser billet 6000 series aluminum and clear anodized for corrosion protection. Easy installation with 4 drive rivets. Keep your synthetic winch rope where it belongs – out of the sun and behind the fairlead.

ROPE GUARD INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
We recommend that the FlatLink or UltraHook first be removed from your winch line prior to the Rope Guard installation. Then, remove all rubber pieces from your FlatLink or UltraHook product. A little prying from a flat blade screwdriver should do the trick in popping out the rubber barbs. You will need to reinstall two of the rubber pieces after the Rope Guard installation is completed. We recommend that you place the FlatLink on top of a piece of wood on the ground or workbench surface prior to hammering in the drive rivets. Be sure to orient the Rope Guard in the correct direction (slot facing the rear) prior to proceeding with the rivet installation. For the UltraHook, make sure that the plane of the rubber pad surface is held flat to the wood surface for one side of the rivet installation and pivot the UltraHook over to the other surface for the remaining rivet installation. Now simply insert the 4 included drive rivets and using a ¼ inch punch, hammer the drive rivet posts down until the posts are flush with the top of the rivet head. Reinstall the rubber pads (lubricate the barbs) on the opposing side and you are done.
Question
Stephen Garrett –
Do you offer custom laser etching? I’d love to have my Jeep name on there instead of ‘Rope Guard’.

Are there any plans to offer color matched rope guards for the products they mount to? Example: an OD Green rope guard for an OD Green Ultrahook.

At this time no. The reason being, the Rope Guards are meant to act as a skid plate. Not only protecting the rope but also protecting the part from scraping on ledges, rocks, etc. If the Rope Guard were to get scraped, the silver color sees the least amount of scratches. This makes the part look nicer longer. The Rope Guard can be considered a consumable. When damaged enough, the rivets can be drilled out and a new Rope Guard can be added.
Now that being said, each Rope Guard comes with an additional sticker inside the package. This allows you to customize the Rope Guards as you see fit. You can paint or powder coat your Rope Guard before installation and place the additional center sticker on the Rope Guard to give your product an OEM look.
Please let us know if you have any other questions.
Thank you for your business!

Hi Stephen,
The Rope Guards come with a sticker mounted in their centers. We can supply you the template and you can make your own image and have a local sign or sticker shop make a sticker for your guard.
Email: sales@factor55.com for your request and we can send you the file.
Let us know if we can help with anything else!
Thank you for your business
