Easy To InstallWe provide easy-to-follow step-by-step instructions. If you're half-way decent with a wrench you can easily install this yourself.
Industry Leading Corrosion ProtectionWe 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.
Recessed Mounting BoltsAll mounting bolts are recessed to keep critical bolt heads protected from rocks and other off-road obstacles.
Real World TestingThere 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 TouchesWe 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. -

Most impressively, the modular design provides an unprecedented amount of configurability, allowing you to mix-and-match components to create the exact roof rack system you want.
We've utilised the latest manufacturing techniques and aircraft-grade aluminium alloys to keep the overall installed weight low and accomplish a degree of fit-and-finish you have to see in person to truly appreciate. The smooth top surface, low profile design and hidden fasteners has enabled us to deliver an extremely aerodynamic roof rack. Amazingly even after thousands of kilometres of off-road driving, you won't hear any creaking or rattling. Best of all, we made it extremely easy to mount accessories - whether you're using t-nuts that slide the entire length of the Planks; or our industry leading Tie-Down Plates that easily slide and clamp between the Planks. If you're looking for a top-quality place to carry extra gear on your next adventure, there's no doubt we've got you covered.

FOR MAXIMUM SAFETY DO NOT EXCEED MANUFACTURERS ROOF WEIGHT LIMITS. Our load ratings represent the maximum mechanical forces our roof rack system can withstand before failure. Our load ratings do not address vehicle safety during high-speed manoeuvres, or changes to vehicle dynamics caused by a higher centre of gravity.
* CAUTION *
For maximum safety, loads should be evenly distributed and properly secured to avoid shifting during transport. Before using your roof rack, it is important to familiarise yourself with the proper load securing techniques and be constantly safety oriented. Please note, all of our load ratings are based on an evenly distributed load. -
UNPRECEDENTED CONFIGURABILITYChoose how many Planks you want. Position your Planks wherever you want. Move your Planks easily, whenever you want. Choose if you want a frame around the outside. Choose how many Tie-Down Plates you want, and where you want them located. Configure your rack however you want. Numerous options. Numerous configurations.
MODULAR DESIGNOur modular engineering approach allow us to deliver a roof rack system that can be easily adapted to any situation. It also means you can upgrade-downgrade your roof rack any time your needs require.
HIGH-STRENGTHAll versions deliver industry leading load ratings (150kg dynamic & 600kg static). These ratings were independently tested and the test results are certified to comply with Australian Standard (AS 1235-2000) as well as international standards (ISO / PAS 11154 : 2009:2006) and (DIN 75302/02: 1991). During independent testing, our roof rack system successfully withstood 330kg of upward force, 600kg of forward force (including a special 20° off-axis test). To achieve our certification we needed to have less than 10mm of movement in our structure at the tested loads, we had 0.17mm!
One of the keys to our industry leading load ratings is our Mounting Rails. Not only do they transfer forces to the strongest points on the WK2 roof, they also utilise a boxed design that resists deformation at any singular point. This unique design element creates a 'mounting system’ that is much stronger than any of our competitors.
LOW WEIGHTWe utilise the latest manufacturing techniques and aircraft-grade aluminium alloys to deliver a roof rack system with an extremely high strength-to-weight ratio. This means our roof rack has an extremely low weight, while still being the very strongest on the market.
STEALTHOur WK2 Roof Rack is extremely aerodynamic (smooth top surface, low profile design and hidden fasteners) making it nearly silent right out of the box for most customers. If you regularly drive at high-speeds (120kmh+) or live in an area with high winds, wind noise can be a problem. For those customers, we include our Hidden Air Dam (that mounts out-of-sight underneath the rack) to significantly reduce wind noise by restricting the amount of air that flows through the confined space under the rack. No creaking, no rattling and very low wind noise. We accomplish these amazing feats through a series of technologically advanced aerodynamic methods, along with some proven old school tech (rubber isolators).
LOW PROFILEChief Products WK2 Roof Rack sits incredibly low at only 86mm above the roofline. We looked at mounting even closer to the vehicle, but during our real-world testing we found it was helpful to have a slight gap between the roof and the rack, so you can slip a hand underneath the rack to wash your roof.
UNOBSTRUCTED VIEWSIf your WK2 has a Dual-Pane Panoramic Sunroof, our WK2 Roof Rack won’t block your view, so you can see and experience the beauty of the nature around you.
STYLEWe poured over every design detail to ensure the WK2 Roof Rack would look great from every angle. Function was our primary aim, but we also studied every line and every proportion, paying close attention to how they integrate with the lines of the WK2.
FIT & FINISHWe utilise advanced manufacturing techniques to achieve a degree of fit-and-finish you have to see in-person to truly appreciate.
SMOOTH TOP SURFACEThe top of our platform is completely smooth. No bolt heads sticking up, tie-down plates that sit completely flush and fasteners that are hidden from view.
EASILY MOUNT ACCESSORIESWe make it extremely easy to mount your accessories and bring your gear with you. We provide (2) full-length channels in each plank, enabling you to use T-Nuts that slide the entire length of the Planks. Even better, is our industry leading Tie-Down Plates and Anchor Points. They provide numerous mounting options and easily slide and clamp between the Planks.
TIE-DOWN PLATESOne of the primary usability goals for our WK2 Roof Rack, was that you could easily bolt/fasten/tie-down to the rack at almost any location. Our custom engineered Tie-Down Plates deliver on that goal. They clamp securely between the Planks in a way that allows them to easily move and fasten anywhere along the entire length of the Planks. The centre acts as an easy tie-down location, while the slots on either end hold captive T-Nuts (M6, M8 & M10) that can be used to fasten/bolt just about any accessory you can find. Best of all, when clamped in place they sit completely flush, providing a completely smooth top surface for your platform.
NEARLY UNLIMITED ACCESSORY MOUNTING LOCATIONSWe provide heaps of mounting locations so you can easily mount accessories anywhere. To achieve that goal, we've engineered Planks you can move wherever you need them. Then we've provided two full-length channels in each Plank for captive T-Nuts, allowing you to bolt/fasten to the Plank at any point along the entire length of the Plank. Finally, for maximum flexibility we've delivered Tie-Down Plates that can easily move and fasten anywhere along the entire length of the Planks.
COMPATIBLE WITH MOST ACCESSORIESIf the accessory uses M6, M8 or M10 bolts for mounting, it will probably work with our roof rack system. If not, one of our upcoming adapter kits should take care of business.
INNOVATIVE SUITE OF ACCESSORIESChief Products engineering team has already started work on several innovative accessories to further expand the functionality of our roof rack system. Taking advantage of our ground-up approach and modular design is allowing us to develop roof rack accessories that no one has ever seen before.
INDUSTRY LEADING CORROSION PROTECTIONWe utilise aircraft-grade aluminium alloys (highly corrosion resistant) for all of the major components of our roof rack system (with a layer of UV stable highly durable powder coat to provide additional protection). For all of our steel parts we utilise E-Coat (Electrophoretic Coating) to provide the very highest corrosion protection available for steel automotive parts, then we add a layer of UV stable powder coat on top for additional protection. All of the included fasteners are protected as well - black zinc plating, zinc flake coatings, black oxide coatings or sometimes we just choose to use stainless steel fasteners. Our aim is to keep your roof rack looking great for many years to come.
EASY TO INSTALLEasy bolt-on installation with no drilling. In addition, our bracketry is fully adjustable so it adapts to your roof (unlike some of our competitors).
TOP QUALITY FINISHING TOUCHESWe include all the details that matter. High tensile bolts for maximum strength. Wedge-Lock washers to create bolted joints that are extremely resistant to loosening (critical to combat loosening from off-roading vibrations). Anti-Seize for bolted joints that are resistant to seizing (important for a product that sits on your roof fully exposed to the elements). A Chief Products Shop Rag for all the dirty jobs around the garage. All packaged with extreme care to arrive safely and looking great.
We even include a few details you might not appreciate right away. For instance, if you’re installing lights, we provide channels in our mounting rails to run your wiring, (we even provide small holes for your zip ties, so you can hold your wiring up out of sight). -

Off-Road ProtectionProvides off-road protection for the rocker panels and lower doors of your WK2. Our design also provides protection for the body seam and wiring loom that run along the underside of your WK2.
High-StrengthMade from High-Strength Steel with a design that incorporates more body connections than our competitors to improve rigidity and provide significantly better impact force distribution. Through FEA computer modelling and (8) months of real world testing we've delivered high-strength rock rails that you can rely on when you need them most.
Great StyleOur design team paid attention to every line, so we could deliver rock rails that compliment the lines of your WK2 with a fully integrated appearance. Open the doors and you immediately notice the attention-to-detail with our streamlined design and flush mounting bolts. Best of all, we provide (2) tread plate options so you can stylise your WK2 Rock Rails however you choose. The dual layer design of the tread plates utilises a silver lower plate that looks great and provides an instant wow factor.
ConvenienceThe steps have been optimised to keep obstacles away from the sides of your WK2, while also providing easy entry (or convenient access to your roof rack). Through real-world testing we ensured you could easily step out over the steps without hitting your leg. We even tested our tread plates to ensure small feet (or paws) wouldn't have troubles with the openings in the tread plates.
Maintains Off-Road ClearanceSince our design replaces the OEM plastic rocker panels, (rather than bolting below) it maintains maximum off-road clearance.
Jack PointsWe supply (1) reinforced jack point (front & rear) on the underside of each rock rail, for a total of (4) high-strength jack points. The small square openings allow drainage and are reinforced to support the entire weight of the vehicle.
Smooth 'Boat Bottom' DesignOur smooth 'Boat Bottom' design ensures that you can easily slide over off-road obstacles. There's nothing to get caught on off-road and all of the mounting bolts are tucked away and protected.
Easy To InstallMany rock rails for the WK2 are very difficult to install. Some can take up to (8) hours, while others require drilling and numerous nutsert installs. As a point of difference, our engineering team has delivered an install process that is extremely easy. We provide easy-to-follow step-by-step instructions. If you're half-way decent with a wrench you can install this yourself.

Excellent Approach AngleSince 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 CompatibilityThrough careful engineering & testing we've delivered a nudge bar that is 95% compatible with the parking sensors on all WK2 models.
High StrengthOur 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 ResistantBy 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 WeightOnly 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 OptionsThe accessory mounting tab is slotted across its entire length, allowing you to install lights or accessories however you choose.
Contoured To FitThe 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 PointsCan 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 ControlThrough 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 RecoveryThe mounting brackets are designed to stop recovery straps or bow shackles from hitting the bar during an off-road recovery.
Easy To InstallWe 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 ProtectionWe 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 LastsOur 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 TouchesWe 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. -
