Default WK2 Nudge Bar

Here's a sneak peek at our new Nudge Bar. This product wasn't initially at the top of our list, because there are already a few in the marketplace. But after some long chats with customers and a lot of requests, we decided we might be able to offer something that wasn't already available.

Here's a 3D rendering in Satin Black.


FEATURES
  • Fits with our WK2 Recovery Hooks & WK2 Recovery Points.
  • 4 tabs for lights and aerials.
  • Compatible with parking sensors, (still testing)
  • Available in Satin Black or Stainless Steel.

I don't have any pricing yet, but I'm hoping to have our first prototype in the next few weeks for in-the-field testing. If you'd like to be notified when this product is released, jump onto the product page on our website and enter your email address.

I look forward to hearing everyone's feedback.

Cheers,
Bill

[EDIT] - I've updated the photo to show the correct Nudge Bar for a 2014 WK2. I realised we accidentally placed a Nudge Bar for a 2012 on the front of a 2014. As you can see the Nudge Bar goes up a bit higher on a 2014 WK2, and will not obscure the license plate.

For the love of god no.... The only thing that looks worse than a high nudge bar is the ECB over bumper bullbar.

(Sorry)

A nudge bar, especially a high one is rarely going to provide any real protection against animal strikes. Small things are most likely to miss the 2 bars and anything big enough to hit both ends at once is going to bend the bar back anyway. They are little more than decoration or a place to hang stuff.

Fester it might bend it back but better than goung through the radiator and yes I do want to hang things on it and see the front of car. As for the looks that is everyones personal taste. I do agree with though when it comes to the ECB bar that is too much. Anyhow we will see what TJM come up with soon.
