Description

The Rope Guard for the FlatLink XXL. For you hardcore off-roaders and off-road trainers, the new 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.

• Can be used as a skid surface while attempting tall climbs, vertical obstacles
• Made from Kaiser billet 6000 series aluminum and clear anodized for corrosion resistance
• Easy DIY installation with four rivets
• Made in the USA
• Check out the Factor 55 Truck/SUV Catalog

Installing your rope guard - 
We recommend that the FlatLink first be removed from your winch line prior to the Rope Guard installation. Then, remove all rubber pieces from your FlatLink. 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. 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.
