WK2 LOWER FRONT GUARD
by: Chief Products
$769.99 AUD
Chief Products WK2 LOWER FRONT GUARD is engineered to protect the critical components at the lower front of your WK2 without ruining your Jeep's good looks. Weighing only 15kg (approx.) when fully installed, it provides off-road protection for the Lower Radiator Core, ACC Camera, Windshield Washer Bottle and Air Suspension Controller. It features a centre section made from 5mm high-strength steel for unparalleled strength, while still providing critical airflow to the lower radiator core. Bolted directly to the sub-frame it provides the very best approach angle possible, and our Bolt Head Protectors protect the front mounting bolts from off-road damage. Best of all, we've designed the WK2 LOWER FRONT GUARD so it installs behind the removable lower front fascia, providing full protection off-road while still allowing you to maintain a factory appearance on-road.

OFF-ROAD PROTECTIONCritical off-road protection for the Lower Radiator Core, ACC Camera, Windshield Washer Bottle and Air Suspension Controller. Accomplished via numerous sub-frame braces and high-strength steel that is 5mm thick on the main centre section.MAINTAIN OEM APPEARANCEThe lower front fascia can be easily installed over the WK2 LOWER FRONT GUARD, maintaining the great looks of the Jeep Grand Cherokee while driving around town. Then when you're heading off-road, you can easily remove the lower front fascia via (5) 1/4 turn fasteners to reveal the WK2 LOWER FRONT GUARD.LOW INSTALLED WEIGHTOnly 15kg (approx.) when fully installed. This is extremely light when compared to a Bull Bar which often weighs 40kgs (alloy) - 90kgs (steel).BETTER COOLING PERFORMANCEOur design provides significant air flow to the lower radiator core. This is especially important if you're towing, operating in hot climates or have additional items (off-road lights, etc.) restricting airflow to the radiator core. Considering a large portion of airflow comes up from the road surface, we're often surprised how many competing lower protection products are missing this critical feature.MAXIMUM APPROACH ANGLESince our design doesn't extend past the front of your WK2, the maximum approach angle is retained.CCOMPATIBLE With EXCELLENT FRONT RECOVERY OPTIONSCan be installed with OEM Tow Hooks (if available for your WK2) or Chief Products WK2 Recovery Points & WK2 Recovery Hooks (engineer rated to 4,500kg).EASILY & INEXPENSIVELY REPAIREDBecause we designed the WK2 Lower Front Guard as a set of components, if you damage one part, you can easily and cost effectively replace just that part.LOW COSTSignificantly less expensive than a Bull Bar, especially when you include shipping and installation costs.EASY TO INSTALLWe provide easy-to-follow step-by-step instructions. If you're half-way decent with a wrench you can install this yourself.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.BOLT HEAD PROTECTIONOur Bolt Head Protectors are engineered to keep critical bolt heads protected from off-road obstacles. They feature a slotted design that keys directly into the product with no possibility of spinning or moving when hit 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.

This is a very robust, well engineered and well manufactured product for my car. I am very happy with the purchase, glad my front end is protected and fits smoothly with the other ChiefProducts.
- MFMonte F.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars12 months agoLower Front Guard on 2018 Overland
First, let me say I'm not a hardcore off-roader. When I'm on a trip it is inconvenient to remove and replace the OEM front fascia. I don't like to drive on the highway without it since the lower part of the radiator and AC condenser are exposed and more vulnerable to damage from rocks and debris kicked up by vehicles in front of me. If I see something off road that interest me I risk damaging the OEM fascia if I don't remove it. I purchase this for two reasons, it will protect the radiator and AC condenser and the OEM fascia can be reinstalled without removing this guard, When I go on a trip I leave the OEM fascia at home. Product is good quality and all the holes are properly located. There are a couple of important notes I want to pass on about installing this guard. I didn't have to remove the front bumper fascia or alter it in any way to install the guard. Couple bolts on the outer edge under the bumper fascia were hard to access, but I got them. The instructions about cutting the two bolts that install into the chassis mounting bracket down to 47 mm in length is important. Any shorter than that and the bolt will not engage all the threads in the nut. These bolts attach the tow hooks. I have seen a youtube video where the bolts were replaced with 3/8-16 X 1.5 inch bolt. Wrong threads and not long enough. Correct bolt is M10 X 1.50. Even at 47 mm I still had to grind out a small portion of the chassis mounting bracket to install the bolts. Better than using a shorter bolt.
- FFrancescaVerified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars2 years agoLeave off that Facia
Seriously, bought this in conjunction with the sump protection and installing the two together took about an hour, if that. Very sturdy, flawless coverage and finish. Beyond happy. Very well packaged and shipped same day order was placed. Just trying to find an edge trim that fits now to clean up the look where the lower facia snaps into.
- EEdVerified BuyerRated 3 out of 5 stars3 years agoDoes this company still exist?
The full website pictures don't show. The mobile site gives different prices and stock availability than the full website. Multiple products are listed as out of stock. I've written twice to customer support asking a question over the last few months, no answer. I also reported the website issues twice, no changes noticed. If I put in an order, will the products show up? How fast do you respond to issues with products and are things returnable? So far this company is a black box to me. Odd because several people on youtube ordered last year and loved the products. Whichever team is running this ship (could be just the US) is no where to be seen, heard, or found. If I were running things or the leadership, I'd be pretty damn mad and making some big changes.
- DRDavid R.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars3 years agoSolid Product
I bought this after installing the rock rails from Chief. They worked great, and I wanted to have protection for all of the bits when the lower portion of the bumper is removed. The instructions are clear, but I watched this video https://youtu.be/CLK9zFYxRO4 several times for hints on how to deal with some items of fitment on my 2020 Trailhawk.
It looks so good that I haven't reinstalled the lower portion of the bumper.

DO NOT EXCEED THE WORKING LOAD LIMIT OF THIS PRODUCT AT ANY TIME. The Working Load Limit of this product is significantly less for non-straight line pull forces.
* CAUTION *
Every recovery situation has the potential for personal injury. In order to minimise that risk, it is important to familiarise yourself with the proper operation of your recovery equipment before using it, and be constantly safety oriented. -
High StrengthEngineer rated to 4,500kg WLL (1.5 times GVM of WK2). 1.5 times GVM is considered the engineering minimum standard for recovery points. A 3,000kg GVM vehicle stuck in deep mud/sand needs a high-strength recovery point to safely withstand the forces encountered during recovery. Our engineer rating jumps to 8,000kg when our recovery points are used as a pair with a bridle strap.
Winch CompatibilityIf you're installing a winch (or plan to be recovered by one) you'll want a recovery attachment point that is up to the task. For a 10,000lb winch you'll want a recovery attachment point with a minimum WLL of 4,500kg.
SafetyIn addition to the engineer rated design, our recovery point also features a 5mm radius on all exposed edges. This ensures safe use with soft shackle recovery gear, while also meeting the required government safety standards (Australian Design Rules as well as various European Pedestrian Safety Standards). The closed loop design delivers a 'Closed Recovery System' ensuring recovery gear won't fall off during recovery. Finally, while our recovery point protrudes through the opening in the lower fascia for easy attachment of recovery gear, it doesn't extend beyond the front most part of the bumper.
Ease Of UseThe large 55mm eyelet makes attachment of recovery gear extremely easy. The closed loop design ensures recovery gear won't fall off during recovery. The recovery point protrudes far enough beyond the lower fascia to ensure side recoveries are easily possible.
CompatibilityEngineered to be 100% compatible with all of our products, as well as all of your Jeep's safety systems. Designed so they can be easily installed on either side of the vehicle (Drivers or Passengers).
Easy To InstallWe provide easy-to-follow step-by-step instructions. If you're half-way decent with a wrench you can easily install this yourself. We've even designed the mounting brackets so they're reversible, to make things as easy as possible.

Excellent Approach AngleSince our design doesn't extend below the mounting brackets, the approach angle (an important aspect off-road) is significantly better than other nudge bars.
Parking Sensor CompatibilityThrough careful engineering & testing we've delivered a nudge bar that is 95% compatible with the parking sensors on all WK2 models.
High StrengthOur innovative mounting system uses steel tabs on the bottom of each bar to lock the bar securely to (2) 20mm high-strength steel mounting arms. This high-strength design means there will be minimal vibrations for your accessories when you're off-road.
Highly Scratch ResistantBy using 304 Stainless Steel (which has a higher hardness rating than Aluminium) we're able to provide a nudge bar with much better scratch & wear resistance.
Low Installed WeightOnly 10.6kg when fully installed. This is extremely light when compared to a Bull Bar which often weighs 40kgs (alloy) - 90kgs (steel).
Accommodates Numerous Lighting & Accessory OptionsThe accessory mounting tab is slotted across its entire length, allowing you to install lights or accessories however you choose.
Contoured To FitThe accessory mounting tab is contoured to match the curvature of the WK2 grille, so it integrates perfectly with the front of the WK2.
Compatible With Front Recovery PointsCan be installed with Chief Products WK2 Recovery Hooks & WK2 Recovery Points, (which can be installed on driver & passenger sides and are engineer rated to 4,500kg). Due to mounting restrictions, many nudge bars don't allow you to install any front recovery points with their bar.
Compatible With Adaptive Cruise ControlThrough careful engineering & testing we've delivered a nudge bar that is compatible with the adaptive cruise control system on all WK2 models.
Guards Against Damage During RecoveryThe mounting brackets are designed to stop recovery straps or bow shackles from hitting the bar during an off-road recovery.
Easy To InstallWe provide easy-to-follow step-by-step instructions. If you're half-way decent with a wrench you can easily install this yourself. We've even designed the mounting brackets so they swivel slightly during installation to make things as easy as possible.
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.
Mirror Polish That LastsOur mirror polished 304 Stainless Steel keeps looking good for longer. Polished aluminium bars tend to develop a white haze from oxidation that causes them to lose their lustre.
Top Quality Finishing TouchesWe include all the details that matter. Electrophoretic Coating on all mounting plates. High tensile bolts for maximum strength. 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. -
