  • High-Strength Off-Road Protection
    Engineered and fully tested to provide off-road protection for the rear of your WK2. Accomplished via high-strength steel (3mm, 4mm, 5mm & 8mm) with boxed sections to provide maximum strength.

    Contoured To Fit
    We designed the WK2 REAR BUMPER GUARD to hug the lines of the rear bumper, so it provides off-road protection while remaining unobtrusive.

    Perfect Integration
    Engineered to integrate seamlessly with the WK2 REAR BUMPER GUARD (Corners) and provide robust off-road protection for the rear of your WK2.

    Compatible With Rear Parking Sensors
    Unlike bulky off-road rear bumpers, the WK2 REAR BUMPER GUARD is fully compatible with the rear parking sensors and requires no alteration to the rear parking sensor system.

    Compatible With Jeep-Mopar Towbars
    Designed to integrate seamlessly with Jeep-Mopar Towbars (USA & Australian models).

    Recessed Mounting Bolts
    Engineered to deliver a smooth undercarriage and keep bolt heads protected off-road.

    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.

    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 in the frame, no drilling or cutting needed.

    Great quality, easy to install

    The quality is exceptional! Worth every penny. The install on my US Trailhawk 2021 was very easy, it took me 30 minutes. I didn’t have to remove the bumper.

    Unfortunately does not fit for European Models with Ad Blue

    Title says it all.

    Else it would surely be a good thing.

    Saves your WK2's Butt

    If you go offroad this is a must. Anything above 35 degrees you go up to your rear will drag. This rear bumper guard was such an easy install and well worth the money. its saved mt rear bumper from being completely ripped off on numerous occasions. Get out there and explore!

    Solid Rear Protection, -1 on install docs

    After watching a number of videos, I decided to purchase the WK2 REAR BUMPER GUARD to help smooth out rear end reciever scraping on those steep departure angles. The parts arrived in well wrapped, in perfect shape, very robust heavy gauge steel typical of all the Chief Products I've purchased. The product is perfect however the 4 star rating is due to the instructions which are out of date. One reason I waited to purchase WK2 REAR BUMPER GUARD was the instructions show removing the upper/lower rear fascia is required (steps 2-8). I contacted Chief Customer Service and they confirmed this wasn't required. Chief Customer Support is also top notch, usually responding within a day or two which is superior considering the time zone differences. In preparation for the install, I made a trip to the local hardware store to acquire a 24 mm socket and wrench listed in the install instructions. For a 2018 Grand Cherokee Trailhawk, these are not the correct size. The correct size is 21 mm (slightly loose) or 13/16". I have a number of Chief products installed on my Grand Cherokee. The reason I selected Chief over competing vendors is the installs, in most cases, require very little modification. For less than "expert" mechanics, like myself, the docs are important.
