Chief Products WK2 Hidden Winch Mount provides a high-strength place to mount your winch without ruining your Jeep's good looks. We've engineered a winch mounting system that can remain completely hidden while still being 100% compatible with all of your Jeep's safety systems (air bags, adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning, lane departure warning and parking sensor systems). It delivers numerous industry leading features - including an engineer certified 10,000lb max rating, E-Coat Corrosion Protection and a very low 12.85kg install weight. By positioning the winch between the chassis structure (lower than our competitors) we're able to provide significantly improved cooling, better off-axis strength, as well as more space for larger winches. Best of all, we spent (12) months performing rigorous real world testing to ensure you can rely on our winch mounting system when you need it most.

High-StrengthWe've engineered our hidden winch system from the ground-up to evenly distribute recovery forces to the chassis of the WK2. This unique approach is especially important during high load pulls and off-axis recoveries that can easily twist (and sometimes even tear) the monocoque chassis of the WK2. Unlike our competitors, we mount to the chassis in multiple locations and strategically use high-strength steels to ensure recovery forces are evenly distributed and don't overload the chassis mounting points. Through FEA computer modelling and (12) months of real world testing we've delivered a high-strength winch mounting system that you can rely on when you need it most.
Maintain OEM AppearanceThe WK2 Hidden Winch Mount can be installed behind your bumper and lower front fascia, maintaining the great looks of your Jeep Grand Cherokee. Then if needed you can still easily remove the lower front fascia when heading off-road.
Low Installed WeightOnly 12.85kg when fully installed. This is extremely light when compared to a Bull Bar which often weighs 40kgs (alloy) - 90kgs (steel).
Better CoolingBy positioning our winch cradle lower than our competitors, we're able to acheive significantly better air flow to the radiator, which delivers much better cooling in hot weather. This is especially important if you're towing or have additional items (off-road lights, etc.) restricting airflow to the radiator core.
Lower Winch PositionOur lower winch position provides numerous benefits. In addition to providing significantly better cooling, it also enables installation of taller winches, doesn’t interfere with number plate mounting and positions the winch directly between the frame rails for maximum strength.
Maximum Approach AngleSince our design doesn't extend past the front of your WK2, the maximum approach angle is retained.
Compatible With Adaptive Cruise ControlThrough careful engineering & testing we've delivered a hidden winch mounting system that is compatible with the adaptive cruise control system on all WK2 models.
Compatible With Parking SensorsThrough careful engineering & testing we've delivered a winch mount that is compatible with parking sensors on all WK2 models.
Compatible With Our Entire Product LineAlready own our WK2 Lower Front Guard, WK2 Sump Protection Plate, WK2 Recovery Hooks, WK2 Recovery Points or WK2 Nudge Bar? We’ve designed the WK2 Hidden Winch Mount to integrate easily with all of our products.
Compatible With Excellent Front Recovery OptionsCan be installed with OEM Tow Hooks or Chief Products WK2 Recovery Points & WK2 Recovery Hooks (engineer rated to 4,500kg).
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.
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. -
