MetalCloak — roller fairlead mount, centre kit, Jeep Wrangler JK / JL and Gladiator JT
A bracket for a roller fairlead (steel cable) or a hawse-type fairlead (synthetic rope). It mounts centrally, for winches with a centre-mounted spool.
It is universal — the manufacturer states it fits all winches and can be used on its own or within the Frame-Built bumper system.

Construction
- 3/16in hot rolled steel — the fairlead carries the full line load at an angle, so the bracket has to be stiff
- Centre mount — for a centre-spool winch
- For a roller or hawse-type fairlead
- Universal — fits all winches
- Black textured powder coat, mounting hardware included
⚠ The fairlead itself (roller or hawse) is not included — this is the bracket for it. If you want a finished aluminium fairlead for synthetic rope, we stock it as MC3120.
⚠ Bumpers bought before May 2014
In May 2014 the manufacturer updated the JK Frame-Built system. This bracket may not fit bases bought before then.

FAQ
Is a fairlead included?
No. This is the bracket for one.
Steel cable or synthetic?
The bracket takes either — it depends which fairlead you mount on it. Roller for steel, hawse for synthetic.
Does it work outside a MetalCloak bumper?
The manufacturer describes it as universal, though it is designed around the Frame-Built system. For another bumper, contact us and we will check the dimensions.
