Roller Fairlead Bracket - Jeep CJ/YJ/TJ/LJ

A bracket for mounting a conventional roller fairlead to a Frame-Built bumper. A roller fairlead is the right choice with steel cable.

Black Textured Powder Coat

The powder coated version carries MetalCloak's signature micro-textured semi-gloss finish. It resists stone chipping and local trail damage can be touched up without refinishing the whole part.

Specification

• Bracket: 3/16" (4.8 mm) hot rolled steel
• Finish: black powder coat
• Fitment: Jeep CJ 1972-1986, YJ 1987-1995, TJ/LJ 1997-2006

Conflict with the plate adapter: the manufacturer notes the roller fairlead bracket does not work with the MetalCloak front license plate adapter. In Europe a front plate is mandatory, so this matters - contact us and we will help find a solution.

What owners say

34 reviews averaging 91%. One practical note:

"Missing some key design needs. First issue is it covers up the only MetalCloak emblem on the bumper. The second is it has no drain hole so when you wash or drive through anything liquid it pools up there. Then it is a pain to remove or if you're not constantly checking it will stain the inside or rust." - 3/5

Worth drilling a drain hole yourself during installation.

Installation

Easy. The manufacturer quotes 20 minutes. No written instructions are supplied.

A note on vehicle age

TJs and LJs are now twenty to nearly thirty years old. Expect seized bolts and corroded frame threads when removing factory parts - soak the joints in penetrant beforehand and use anti-seize on reassembly. Several reviews of TJ parts are really about this rather than about the part.

We import this product directly from the MetalCloak factory in the USA. Please contact us for the current lead time before placing an order.
