  • High Strength
    Manufactured using High-Strength Steel and reinforced boxed edges for maximum impact protection.

    Compatible With Mopar Skid Plates
    Engineered from the ground-up to integrate perfectly with the Mopar Front Axle Skid Plate and Mopar Transfer Case Skid Plates. Whether your WK2 came from Jeep with the Off-Road Adventure Pack II or you decided to add the Mopar skid plates afterward, our WK2 Transmission Protection Plate is designed to integrate perfectly and provide a smooth and fully protected undercarriage.

    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.

    Recessed Mounting Bolts
    All mounting bolts are recessed to keep critical bolt heads protected from rocks and other off-road obstacles.

    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.

    Great Protection for your expensive transmission

    If you are offroading on solid/rocky trails, you must have this plate. Installation is easy and it fits well with mopar skid plates. I recommend it.

    Great Upgrade

    Really easy to install. Have piece of mind also with knowing the underbody is more protected. Especially due to the road conditions on and off road here. Definitely recommend.

    Easy Peasy

    The transmission plate is a very easy install. I put it on my 2018 WK2 Overland/High Altitude. I have all of the Mopar skid plates installed so it did require removing the transfer case plate but still very easy to add this much needed protection. I would recommend a floor jack for the helping hand if you have access to one. I still wonder what possesses the folks at Jeep to sell the higher trim packages with fewer skid plates. Seems to me the higher up you go the more you should get not less, but I digress. Thanks to all the good folks at Chief for another great product! Cheers mate!

    Nice afterthought

    Needed nudge bar to mount lights on our 2013 WK2, and was keen for sumpguard as well. We own a rural block and find ourselves in the paddock a fair bit. The extra protection of metal underneath instead of feeble plastic appeals. So - ordered these from Chief. Hadn’t even realised they did a trans guard. Thought might as well, to complete the trifecta. Bloody glad I did ... it’s all true folks ... the staff are brilliant to deal with, packaging is first rate, all mounting hardware included, even with a sachet of antiseize for the bolts. Everything lined up PERFECTLY. Great engineering, solid as.

    WK2 TRANSMISSION PROTECTION PLATE

    Installation and protection as stated. After about a month upon vehicle acceleration and braking I would hear this clanking sound. I took my 2021 WK2 to the dealership and they determined it was coming from the transmission protection plate. They removed it and no longer the clanking (I had to pay over $200 for this service due to non warranty). I had them reinstall for the protection, and clanking continues.
