I meant covering the winch area outside the fairlead, not covering the fairlead itself.

It might, But most brush gaurds bolt to the tow hooks so you would have to remove the winch and reinstall it. and not sure how it would fit around the fairlead.

i like it. im surprised you got it to fit in there. hate to be a negitive nancy but being that low might cause you some problems depending on what type of wheeling you do, deep water, its gonna go under, heavy mud its gonna get caked and full of crap, rocks your gonna smash it up. if youre more of a trail field type person then it will be perfect, maybe even being that low might help pull you up. mine has always been high up and when you get stuck and hook to a base of a tree it kinda pulls your truck downward

Yeah its worth the money the first time you get stuck by yourself in the woods. There has been more than 5 times where it would be along walk, or driving around trying to find someone with a big truck to pull me or a friend out if I didnt have a winch.
