The wheel guard can include a guard member including a ramped surface extending between a first end portion and a second end portion, the second end portion coupleable to a suspension of a wheel of the vehicle. A pivot mechanism is attached to the first end portion that is coupleable to a chassis of the vehicle, whereby the guard member can pivot with respect to the chassis as the wheel moves up and down.
