The Best Accessories for Your Jeep

While you have seemingly countless options available when customizing your Jeep, some of the most popular Jeep accessories include shade top covers, secure lock boxes, durable floor mats and seat covers, grab handles, and bumper upgrades. Many of the most-popular Jeep off-road accessories are designed to enhance your performance or experience on the trail, while others are largely aesthetic and simply let you customize the look of your Jeep. No matter what you are looking for, however, there is almost certainly an aftermarket option that you can choose and have installed––probably numerous options.

In fact, you have so many different options available to you for customizing your Jeep that they can quickly become overwhelming as you’re shopping for them. That’s why we’re here to help point you in the direction of some of the most popular picks for accessories, both in terms of upgrading the look of your Jeep and also for enhancing its functionality. Some of these are easy to add to your Jeep in just a few minutes, but others can be trickier to set up. Here at Faricy Chrysler Jeep, we’re happy to help you choose the right accessories and install them properly to keep your Jeep in pristine condition.

Functional Accessories

Shade Top-Covers

One of the things we love about a Jeep is the option to really open it up and feel the wind and splash of water as you blaze a trail off-road. A day spent with the sun beating down on you can have painful consequences, however, so we strongly suggest a shade top cover that you can install to keep the sun off your neck, shoulders, and head. They’re made with a mesh design that lets the air in but keeps you in the shade.

Floor Mats

Few accessories are as vital as the floor mats in your Jeep. The factory option is fine but far from ideal if you’re planning on playing outside in the dirt and mud. Heavy-duty floor mats will protect your interior and help keep you and your passengers from slipping as you get in and out of your Jeep. Win-win!

Rock Sliders and Steps

You have a couple of great options for accessories to install beside your door frame to make it easier to get in and out of your Jeep. Both rock sliders and steps work great with advantages to each, so it really depends on which you prefer. As an added benefit, these will also help protect your side and undercarriage from rocks and debris while you’re on the trail.

Entry Guards

Along with rock sliders or steps, you should also consider entry guards that you can easily attach to the lower part of the door frame. Entry guards not only help protect your door frame, since it’s a high-traffic area, but they also provide some traction for getting in and out. Many of these can be applied using a simple adhesive and require no additional tools for quick installation.

Grab Handles

Steps and entry guards can make getting in and out of your Jeep a lot easier, but nothing beats good grab handles to really make things simple. Grab handles are great for getting in, even on the driver’s side, to avoid putting excess strain on your steering wheel and provide your passengers with something to hold when the trail gets rough.

Cargo Bed Liners

The cargo area in the rear of your Jeep needs just as much protection as any other part, which is where a good bed liner comes into play. Not just for trucks, a bed liner protects the paint job on your Jeep, makes cleaning easier, and can provide traction for keeping items in place while you’re on the move. There is a wide range of different liners available made from different materials and in a variety of colors, so you can find a perfect fit for your Jeep and aesthetic preferences.

Bumper Upgrades

We’ll look at a couple of bumper accessories in a moment, but don’t overlook replacing the bumpers on your Jeep. The factory bumpers are fine for some people, but if you want extra protection on the road or trail, then aftermarket bumpers make a fantastic choice. Unless you have a lot of experience working on a vehicle, make sure you have one of our professionals install new bumpers for you to ensure they’re placed correctly and securely.

Bull Bars

In addition to a new bumper, you might want to add a bull bar onto the front of your Jeep for an extra layer of protection. These can make a huge difference in protecting the front end of your vehicle on the trail. Many of them come with skid plates for the front end for added defense.

Winches

One of the most common and popular accessories for a Jeep is a powerful winch that can help get you, or someone else, out of a tight spot. A 9,500 lb winch is a common option and can be easily installed onto your Jeep, though having a professional handle it for you is a great choice to ensure it’s done properly and won’t damage your vehicle.

Recovery Gear

Whether you choose a winch or not, excellent recovery gear should be a staple in every vehicle that goes off-road. You want some tow or recovery straps, gloves, some D-rings, and other accessories that you’ll find in a recovery kit to make getting out of a tough spot easier. These can also come with a good winch, so look at all of your options before making a purchase.

LED Headlights

If your Jeep didn’t come with LED headlights, then this is a fantastic aftermarket upgrade to help improve your visibility at night, both on the road and the trail. It’s very important that they’re installed properly to ensure they provide the best illumination for you and avoid blinding oncoming traffic while you drive. This is one of those upgrades that is probably better to leave to the professionals unless you have a lot of vehicle DIY experience.

Secure Interior Storage

One of the simplest yet most important accessories you can get is a lockable storage box for the interior of your Jeep. There is a wide range of options available, including lock boxes for your center console, under the seat, and in the cargo area. A good lockbox is secured in place and impossible to remove without tools, so you can toss a few items into it when you’re on the trail or camping without worrying about things going missing.

Cosmetic Accessories

Grille Inserts

The front grille of the Jeep is one of the most iconic designs in the auto industry, but you can take that even further. There are numerous types of grille inserts available, including colored meshes, patterns, printed images, and much more that are easy to install and provide a nice flair to the front end of your Jeep.

Seat Covers

Good seat covers not only look great but also help protect your upholstery, so this is both a functional and cosmetic option. You can customize the look of your interior with your choice of covers, make your seating more comfortable, and protect it from damage and stains.

Sound System

Easily overlooked, few things provide as much of an immediate improvement to your experience while driving your Jeep as an upgraded sound system. You have seemingly countless aftermarket options for premium sound systems, which come in a wide range of prices. A great sound system can make your next off-road adventure or long road trip far more enjoyable.

Decals

If you want to customize the outside of your Jeep, then there are a huge number of different decals available that can be applied to your exterior. Relatively inexpensive, especially compared to a custom paint job, and easily installed, decals can have a massive impact on the look of your Jeep. No matter what you’re into or looking to showcase, you can find decals that will bring your vision to life. Some companies even offer custom decals so you can get exactly what you want.

Just the Tip of the Customization Iceberg

These are only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to accessories for your Jeep, and you have a wide range of other options to choose from. From finishes that will bring your Jeep’s looks to the next level to equipment that will make it easier to handle adverse conditions, Jeeps really can do it all. So add a little DIY flare or bring your Jeep to us to have the big stuff put on, and head out on the road in your unique Jeep.
