Greetings, Jeep Lovers!
When it comes to accessorizing, Jeeps in general and the Wrangler or will give any A-list celebrity a run for the money. As with any incredibly popular product (iPhone, Barbie, Harley-Davidson), a number of accessory options develop, as people want to personalize and equip their belongings. There are so many options available some people don't know where to start. Before you pick the right wheels, tires, bikini top or stereo package, there are a few important items you may want to give thought to.
Spare Tire Cover -There are 100s of versions of these, everything from your favorite cartoon characters to company logos to custom made versions that have whatever you want on them. Looks aside, however, the real benefit to these are that they protect your spare from the elements. Rust, road debris or salt from winter roads are not what you want reaching your spare. As a side note, when you have your inflated to proper air pressure, be sure to include your spare in the cycle.
Bumpers - There are a number of alternate bumper/protection add-ons that you can choose for your Jeep, depending on what you plan on doing in it. There are thick, projecting loops known as "Bull Rings" that can include a skid plate, both of which may be useful in protecting the front of your vehicle should you choose to do some off-roading. Other versions can include light guards to stop limbs or other debris from hitting the grill or corners of the Jeep, should you be trekking through high brush that could whip or snap while riding. Rear versions may modify or strengthen the spare tire mount, allow for towing or reinforce the corners of the vehicle. Take your time, look through the options and determine both what will be useful and what will give you peace of mind.
Recovery Gear - One particular front bumper version is known as a winch shelf. This is a bumper with a container built into it to house a particular recovery tool known as a winch. This is a powered coil of wire that may be rated to different strengths, in terms of pulling power. Should your Jeep get bogged down in mud, water, snow or sand and require recovery, simply shift to neutral (or keep in drive for particularly difficult snags), pull the cable out, attach or loop around a stationary object, and turn on the winch. It is designed to slowly move your vehicle forward without causing unnecessary damage to the vehicle or the surroundings. There are even versions that have remote controls to make it easier to use.
That's all for now, sports enthusiasts...but there's lots more where these came from! Enjoy your Jeep, keep in touch and have fun shopping for accessories. Remember, it's hard to put a price on peace of mind, and you can go as far as you want to down this road...we'll highlight more products in the future. Thanks for reading, stay safe out there!
