Chief Products WK2 ROCK RAILS deliver critical off-road protection for your WK2. The fully integrated design compliments your Jeep's good looks while also providing maximum off-road clearance. To deliver improved rigidity and better impact force distribution than any of our competitors, we utilise high-strength steel and (27) body connections (per rock rail). The smooth ‘boat bottom’ design protects key underbody elements while ensuring you can easily slide over off-road obstacles. Our APEX EDITIONS provide a rigid step that has been optimised to keep obstacles away from the sides of your WK2, while also providing easy entry (or convenient access to your roof rack). Our industry-first system of clamping plates and flush mounted bolts delivers unparalleled ease of installation, while also ensuring everything looks great when you open the doors. Best of all, to ensure you’ve got the best looking WK2 on the trails, we provide (2) tread plate options that allow you to stylise your WK2 ROCK RAILS however you choose.

They’re perfect for anyone looking for a purpose built protection option for their WK2.

    EASY TO UPGRADE - You can easily upgrade WK2 ROCK RAILS (Apex Edition) at any time by adding - WK2 ROCK RAILS (Treads).
  • Off-Road Protection
    Provides 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-Strength
    Made 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 Style
    Our 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.

    Convenience
    The 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 Clearance
    Since our design replaces the OEM plastic rocker panels, (rather than bolting below) it maintains maximum off-road clearance.

    Jack Points
    We 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' Design
    Our 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 Install
    Many 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.

    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 required. Replaces OEM plastic rocker panels.

    Solid Load and Function

    These rock rails are no joke. They are sturdy, easy to install and allow you to pick the look you like. I loved the apex edition.

    Great product, great customer support in USA, Some QC issues though

    I've received my product with a small dent on the side. Since it will be under the car I did not mind the issue. Still I've placed a call with USA number, reacing DriverMods. Louie answered my questions and checked to make sure that would not be an integrity issue with the product. Later, When I was trying to install the rails, I've discovered some of the slot nuts were incorrectly welded and the bold could not pass through the hole into the nut because of the angle it was welded (supposed to be parallel but 5 of mine were at an angle). contacted Louie again and he has gone above and beyond and found some even though they were out of stock for the product itself and immediately shipped them to me. Wit a small gift too! Great person to talk to, great support from USA. However I really advise you to do a check on these nuts before you ship them. I cannot be the only one to receive those like this. In any case, my rails looks awesome. I'll test them on some nice trails as soon as I got my winch mount and install my winch.

    Excellent

    Although I haven't had a lot of opportunities to test them very much on the trails yet, I am very happy with the Trek Eleven rock rails. They were a cinch to install, they look amazing, and they are very practical. What few tests I've had with them on the trail they have functioned perfectly. Highly recommend!

    Great Look

    Love how clean the installation is compare to other rock rails. I can't imagine you could damage this easily.

    Some extra hardware would be nice one of my nut plates broke. I'm a mechanic so it was not from forcing it, I made it work in the end.

    One note: I removed the brackets with a spot weld cutter, this gives it a more professional install. Here is the link: https://www.harborfreight.com/38-in-double-sided-rotary-spot-weld-cutter-63657.html Maybe Chief might think of including it one day.

    Can't wait for the front bumper!!!!

    Issues Shipping - Issues Fitting - Sturdy & Look Great Once Fitted - Long Term Quality Issues

    Thought I would review the product now I have had them fitted for a while. Ordered these 08/12/2018, Chief Products had shipping issues with the date constantly getting blown out, once they shipped Chief had dramas with the courier service trying to deliver them. After receiving them, they were fitted next day. The instructions weren't very well written and the rails did not mount up correctly, with multiple bolt holes not aligning with the chassis rail and a single bolt being too short to screw in securely. Whether this may have been an issue because my vehicle is one of the first 2013 "MY14" WK2 off the production line, (which I have encountered differences in the chassis compared to a 2014 model) or that the description of the product may be incorrect in saying it can be fitted to "2011 - Onwards", I can't be positive. It would be interesting to hear from someone who has fitted these to 2011-2013 model and how their experience fitting the rails went. After fitting, they look amazing! They really set the look of the vehicle apart from the rest with their design. Almost 2 years on now, ALL of the bolts on the rails have rusted... The coating on top of the tread plates has flaked off and the tread plates have all rusted... I have done a fair chunk of off-roading since fitting, but nothing extensive enough to have caused damage to the rails, and the underneath of the rails are absolutely immaculate! Bad quality thread plates and fittings, good quality rails... Cost cutting?
