If you’ve chosen to run an eyelet at the end of your synthetic or steel winch line, loop guards from Factor 55 provide tension on the rope when cinched against fairleads to protect loops from abrasion, impact, and damaging UV light.
Factor 55 Loop Guards feature an integrated rubber guard for surface protection and fairlead cushion.
Some users prefer a minimalist winching setup.
Often, this means not having any thimble, hook, or shackle mount at the end of the line.
However, in these situations, you’re left with a rope loop dangling out of your fairlead, which can pick up dirt, road grime, and debris, making it susceptible to damage.
This can reduce the winch rope’s lifespan.
Constructed from billet aluminum for durability against impact and finished in a Mil-Spec hard gray anodized coating.
Made in the USA.
Standard (Truck/SUV): Fits steel cable/rope to 7/16 diameter.
