## Description

NA

Review: Solid fit. Recommend proper tools for easy install.
Review: Looks like it will be a fine product. Exactly as advertised. I like that it came with an extra decal so you could match the orientation to the writing on the hook. Although, Factor 55 could have saved a few cents by not attaching the decal in the first place. Be prepared for a little tedious work installing the rivets. I tried 1/4” punch but I felt more comfortable with a 5/16”. The beveled face of the UltraHook makes the task a little awkward, but not impossible. I think I’d rather see the holes threaded and screws included. Once properly installed, this thing isn’t going anywhere. It is now permanently part of hook short of drilling the rivets out and probably damaging the hook itself.

## Features

- 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,
- 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

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How exactly does this fit onto a factor 55 ultrahook winch hook with shackle mount? do i have to remove the hand gaurd and drill holes?**
A: You do not need to drill any holes. You’ll
need to remove the rubber guards. When you remove the rubber guards from one side it will expose the existing holes in which you’ll insert the provided aluminum rivets. Use a punch and a hammer to tap in rivers until flush with the top of rivet. It’s real easy and directions should be provided. It should only take a few minutes to install.

A: I think there specific to which flatlink you have.

**Q: Will this fit my flatlink xxl?**
A: Don't know but if you visit Factor 55 website I'm pretty sure they well provide the answer.

**Q: will this work for a jeep?**
A: Yes of course you can use this Factor 55 Hook with the Factor 55 Rope Guard that attaches on to the Factor 55 Hook body, on a Jeep, that has a Winch with Synthetic line. It is not Recommended for a Winch with metal wire cable.

This can save your and others lives, it protects your recovery rope. If you need recovery gear that is robust and fit for purpose, go no further. Do your homework and you will find no better gear!!
