  • High-Strength
    Utilising (4) upgraded tie-down points and a strengthening bracket that hides beneath the trim, we’ve delivered a tie-down system that is (5) times stronger than stock. In fact, the (2) rear most tie-down points are easily (10) times stronger than stock.

    Integrated Design
    Our upgraded tie-down points fit into the stock locations. This ensures ease-of-use and an integrated appearance, but it also ensures there is nothing sticking-up to catch on cargo.

    Top Quality Appearance
    Each tie-down point is machined from 6061 Aluminium and then mirror polished to look great in the back of your WK2.

    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.

    Real World Testing
    There aren’t many off-road companies who own a WK2 as their daily driver, or regularly take it all over Australia in search of off-road adventures. In our opinion, that extra testing and passionate attention to performance leads to superior products.

    Top Quality Finishing Touches
    We include all the details that matter. High tensile zinc plated bolts for maximum strength and corrosion resistance. 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. Minimal cutting required on unseen parts.

    Rear Tie Down Confidence

    I could not understand why Jeep produced such a weak rear tie down system. I mean a self tapper into a piece of light spring metal doesnt do it for me. I have many Chief products fitted to my WK2 which I have owned for over 6 years. My recent purchase of the well designed tie down system is exactly what I have come to expect from Chief Products over the years. The product is a simple and precision made kit, easily fitted by the DIY owner. I feel confident that my Waco and other heavy recovery equipment is not going to join me in the front seat if an unforeseen mishap occurs. Yet another step in safety for travel and offroad adventure. Despite Covie-19 the product was promptly dispatched and received in a timely manner to my front door.

    Rusted on happy customer.

    More strength

    Having finished the installation of the WK2 rear tied down system, the extra strength to be able to hold items in place is an amazing difference. You can crank on the racket strap knowing its not coming out and the items are not going to be flying through the cab if you have to hit the brakes or manoeuvring over rough ground. Easy install with good instructions.

    More work to install than expected but great result.

    I installed this item on a 2019 TrailHawk and am very happy with the final result. However, there were a few difficulties during the install. Getting a 8mm wrench on the nuts for both the front factory brackets and rear factory tie downs was a bit of a trick because there is not much space to get a wrench in there and you are working blind. Also, since I have quadra-lift, the tank for the quadra-lift makes it more difficult to get to the underside of the front mounts. I dropped the front nuts twice before I finally just took the spare tire and the other stuff out of the under floor storage area so I could retrieve the nuts I dropped and lift the platform higher to get the nuts on. I also unbolted the front brackets from the floor for more working space. I suspect on a vehicle that doesn't have quadra-lift the front ones would be much easier. I also agree with the previous reviewer that having the screws be 5mm longer would make the installation a lot easier.

    nearly essential if using rear tiedowns for heavy objects

    The friend who encouraged me to look at a WK2 (I obviously eventually bought one, a shiny new 2019 US Upland model) also warned me that the rear tiedowns were marginal and pointed me to this product. A good thing, since I intended to use them to lash down heavy items such as my fridge/freezer and large water containers. I ordered the kit, which arrived quickly. I did not realize that Chief Products has a US presence with inventory, so I was pleased when it showed up a few days later.

    Installation was straightforward. The downloadable instructions were easy to follow, in fact I did it by flashlight the night before departing with my WK2 on its maiden off road adventure.

    As mentioned in the instructions, I did have to drill out the existing tiedown clamps slightly. No big deal. My only suggestion would be to upsize the supplied bolts slightly: instead of 20 and 30mm long bolts, how about 25 and 35? The former are adequately long if you can force them down enough to compress the various bits being held together in order to start them, but that takes some fumbling and choice language. There is plenty of room for the longer bolts under the bracketry. I happened to have some of the suggested size in my can o' bolts, so I substituted them. Much easier, especially in a dimly lit garage at night.

    The tiedowns held up just fine to several days of rough roads in Death Valley. After seeing what the stock setup looked like, I'm glad I installed this product. Very nice.

    WK2 - Rear Tie Downs

    Really easy to fit resulting in a very significant improvement in the strength of all 4 tie down points - especially the rear two which are basically just attached to the plastic tub.

    The supplied instructions were very clear and concise.

    Very well engineered and made with high quality materials - Great Product.
