I've had a few requests for hooks that will fit with the nudge bar. Unfortunately I don't think it's something that can be easily done. W've considered doing a nudge bar of our own, (that would fit with our hooks) but there are many projects ahead of it at this time. I'll keep you posted if we move forward on it.

If you do move ahead on a nudge bar, something I'd love to see is a prerunner skid plate, similar to the Rocky Road Outfitters one (pic below). But theirs is a bit messy, and requires the winch bar mount to be installed. If you did one as a bottom air dam replacement with some nice 2.5-3 inch black satin tubing shaped up under the bumper in a nudge bar shape and a skid plate with vents fixed inside it coming down to meet your sump protection plate, would be a big improvement for approach angle.

A better looking version of this:

Benn0,

We've already been working on something very similar to what you describe. I'm hoping to start testing a prototype very soon.

Excellent!!

Make sure it fits the MY14

With a new baby on the way in March and a big push to finish Chief Products website for the pre-launch March 1st, not to mention getting the first products ready to ship, I haven't had much time to do any building on my WK2.

Well I'm happy to say that is about to change. I'm putting in an order for a bunch of new toys this week. They're coming from the States so it might take a little while, but hopefully I'll be posting some new photos soon.

Cheers,
Bill

Hey guys,

I launched the Chief Products website (www.chiefproducts.com.au) yesterday. When you get a chance, check it out and tell me what you think. I'm very interested to hear everyone's thoughts.

Now that we've opened our doors and are actually selling products, I'm also opening a vendor forum here on AusJeep. I'll post a link to it later this week. It will have all of Chief Products latest product info and plans as well as some specials for the members here.

Have a great weekend!

Cheers,
Bill

Looks great. I'll probably have a crack at WK2 MY14 seat covers for front and back.

Cheers
