    MORE INFO
    *Parking Sensor Compatibility - We provide 95% compatibility (read more).
  • Excellent Approach Angle
    Since our design doesn't extend below the mounting brackets, the approach angle (an important aspect off-road) is significantly better than other nudge bars.

    Parking Sensor Compatibility
    Through careful engineering & testing we've delivered a nudge bar that is 95% compatible with the parking sensors on all WK2 models.

    High Strength
    Our innovative mounting system uses steel tabs on the bottom of each bar to lock the bar securely to (2) 20mm high-strength steel mounting arms. This high-strength design means there will be minimal vibrations for your accessories when you're off-road.

    Highly Scratch Resistant
    By using 304 Stainless Steel (which has a higher hardness rating than Aluminium) we're able to provide a nudge bar with much better scratch & wear resistance.

    Low Installed Weight
    Only 10.6kg when fully installed. This is extremely light when compared to a Bull Bar which often weighs 40kgs (alloy) - 90kgs (steel).

    Accommodates Numerous Lighting & Accessory Options
    The accessory mounting tab is slotted across its entire length, allowing you to install lights or accessories however you choose.

    Contoured To Fit
    The accessory mounting tab is contoured to match the curvature of the WK2 grille, so it integrates perfectly with the front of the WK2.

    Compatible With Front Recovery Points
    Can be installed with Chief Products WK2 Recovery Hooks & WK2 Recovery Points, (which can be installed on driver & passenger sides and are engineer rated to 4,500kg). Due to mounting restrictions, many nudge bars don't allow you to install any front recovery points with their bar.

    Compatible With Adaptive Cruise Control
    Through careful engineering & testing we've delivered a nudge bar that is compatible with the adaptive cruise control system on all WK2 models.

    Guards Against Damage During Recovery
    The mounting brackets are designed to stop recovery straps or bow shackles from hitting the bar during an off-road recovery.

    Easy To Install
    We provide easy-to-follow step-by-step instructions. If you're half-way decent with a wrench you can easily install this yourself. We've even designed the mounting brackets so they swivel slightly during installation to make things as easy as possible.

    Industry Leading Corrosion Protection
    We utilise E-Coat (Electrophoretic Coating) to provide the very highest corrosion protection available for steel automotive parts. Deposited from a water-based solution using a high voltage DC charge, the process coats all wet surfaces with an extremely tough and highly corrosion resistant finish that is unlike any other process. On top of that industry-leading electrophoretic coating we apply 80µm of extremely durable powder coat (advanced polyester thermosetting powder). Finally, whenever possible we build our products with highly corrosion resistant materials and fasteners (stainless steel, aluminium alloys, etc.) to provide enduring protection against corrosion when a coating is scratched or damaged off-road.

    Mirror Polish That Lasts
    Our mirror polished 304 Stainless Steel keeps looking good for longer. Polished aluminium bars tend to develop a white haze from oxidation that causes them to lose their lustre.

    Top Quality Finishing Touches
    We include all the details that matter. Electrophoretic Coating on all mounting plates. High tensile bolts for maximum strength. Wedge-Lock washers to create bolted joints that are extremely resistant to loosening. Anti-Seize for bolted joints that are resistant to seizing. A Chief Products Shop Rag for all the dirty jobs around the garage. All packaged with extreme care to arrive safely and looking great.
  • Bolts into existing mounting points in the frame, no drilling or cutting needed. Some models require cutting holes for the Mounting Brackets, (see notes below).

    Great product for a good value

    A few months ago I discovered Chief Products with a great variety of products under their portfolio. When found this nudge bar I said I must have it. I got it, installed and very happy with. I plan to add a bar light too...and therefore I got also the light bar mount kit.

    Solid

    Staff responsive and easy to deal with. Had memories of a fiddly and complicated install of an ECB nudge bar on our X Trail a few years ago. This one was a breeze though, so no need to worry. Packaging and presentation was perfect. Kit comes with everything needed, right down to anti-seize sachet for bolt fitment.

    Instructions not included in pack, but comprehensive step by step provided on website. My one and only criticism is that arrangement of mounting hardware as shown in diagrams is not clearly articulated, which was surprising given the care they’d gone to in every other area. This simply meant a bit of trial and error, and some wasted time with brackets incorrectly arranged.

    However, everything lined up perfectly, engineering of the hardware was likewise perfect, and when all tourqed up, the bar was as solid as Fort Knox! A mounting slot for lights is beautifully machined to the rear of the upper bar offering a huge range of placement options, and best opportunity for protection of the lights with the rearward orientation of the slot. Great outcome!

    Worth the Wait

    I had my heart set on this nudge bar (and the whole Chief front end system) for a while, but the black nudge bar was out of stock for a while last year. I stayed patient and finally got the bar, along with the lower guard, sump plate, winch mount and tow hooks. It was a very easy install. They all fit together seamlessly and the WK2 looks fantastic. This product was absolutely worth the wait.

    Nudge bar worth having

    I had three concerns in buying a nudge bar

    1. would it disable my electronic aids on my 2019 wk2 limited.

    2. Would it be strong and look good

    3 Would it be straight forward to install.

    1. After installing there was no problems with parking sensors

    2. It was high quality and strong - fit for purpose.

    3 The only issue was two slots had to be cut and smoothed off

    to allow the bars that connect the nudge bar to the chassis.

    The rest was very straight forward.

    I am very pleased with the purchase. Its not the cheapest

    by a long way but you get what you pay for and the Jeep is

    not a cheap SUV.

    Chrome Nudge Bar

    After much debate I decided to order a Nudge bar for my Wk2 Grand Cherokee, I’m in the Northern Territory so my options on products were limited.

    After talking on the phone to Chief in Queensland I decided to order one.

    I was going to fit myself but decided to get it fitted.

    My local Repco Service Centre fitted and along with Myself were pleasantly surprised on figment and the look of it.

    I now have to fit some lights, I am very happy with my purchase and the product, good on you Chief👌
