🧾 Overview
The Factor 55 UltraHook XTV Rope Guard is a purpose-built protection solution designed to shield synthetic winch rope from UV exposure, abrasion, and impact damage during extreme off-road use. Engineered for hardcore wheelers, trainers, and recovery professionals, the Rope Guard positions all exposed rope behind the fairlead and guard, dramatically reducing sun degradation and trail damage.
When installed, the UltraHook XTV Rope Guard also doubles as a skid surface, allowing the vehicle to contact obstacles without exposing or damaging the synthetic rope—ideal for steep ledges and vertical climbs. Precision-machined from Kaiser billet 6000-series aluminum and finished with a clear anodize, this guard delivers long-term corrosion resistance and trail-ready durability.
