Hey Jeeperskeepers,

Thanks for your interest.

Unfortunately we don't have any other photos or a target price yet.

Development of our WK2 Nudge Bar was delayed for a little over a month while we looked for a new supplier to handle the pipe bending and polishing. Our previous supplier couldn't handle some of our requirements and finding a new top-notch supplier was more difficult than anticipated. In the end though, it looks like our persistence paid off. We now have a new supplier that can supply top-notch work and they seem better positioned to meet our product development timelines.

I expect to receive our first prototype on October 24th. I should have more information for everyone a few days after that.

Cheers,
Bill

Hey Guys,

The 1st prototype for our WK2 Nudge Bar arrived on Friday. As with all 1st prototypes there are some adjustments to be made, but the quality of our new supplier is excellent. I'm very happy with the results.

I'm also very happy to report that our innovative mounting system works like a champ. It's very strong, very clean looking and makes installation of the nudge bar super easy. Once we make a few tweaks, I'll post some photos of the bar fully installed.

We'll be offering the WK2 Nudge Bar in 2 versions - Gloss Black & Mirror Polish. Here are some initial specs.

SPECIFICATIONS
WK2 Nudge Bar (Gloss Black) - Powder Coated 304 Stainless Steel
WK2 Nudge Bar (Mirror Polish) - Polished 316 Stainless Steel
Bar Weight = 4.5kg
Total Weight (mounting brackets + hardware + bar) = 12.95kg
Fits with our WK2 Recovery Hook & WK2 Recovery Point

I'm looking to pick up a few off-road lights to test with the nudge bar. Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm looking for a top-notch LED Light Bar as well as a couple of Spotties. I've been looking at Aurora for the LED light bar, but I'm completely open to suggestions.

Cheers,
Bill

1st Prototype (Gloss Black)

Cool, so the mounting bracket replaces one of the spacer plates in the recovery point assembly?

I've been looking at an Aurora 20 inch single row combo, should be enough for my needs:

It looks amazing. I'm hanging out to purchase one.

Can you tell us the center to center hole spacing between the mounting tabs? I'd like to have a pair of spotlights and aerial ready to go when these bars become available and would like to ensure the spotlights will fit on the center two tabs without hitting each other (or maybe even four spotlights and some way to mount the aerial down next to where the bar attaches to the mounts - that would be completely badass).
