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 (unlike some of our competitors). 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'll be offering an extremely effective High Velocity Air Dam (that mounts out-of-sight underneath the rack) as well as an Air Deflector the can be mounted in multiple locations for best performance (base of the rack, in front of your cargo or even at the front edge of the windshield). 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 washers).
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 nice to have a slight gap between the roof and the rack. That small gap makes it much easier to 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) channels in each plank that allow you to use T-Nuts that slide the entire length of the planks. Even better is our industry leading Tie-Down Plates that provide numerous mounting options and easily slide and clamp between the planks.
TIE-DOWNSA key usability aspect 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 (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 allow you to move your planks wherever you need them. Then we provide Planks with two channels 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 provide Tie-Down Plates that can easily move and fasten anywhere along the entire length of the planks.
COMPATIBLE WITH MOST ACCESSORIESIf the accessory uses M8 or M10 bolts for mounting, it will probably work with our roof rack system. If not, one of our upcoming adapter kits will probably 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, then we add a layer of UV stable and 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). -
