If you plan on taking your Jeep off-roading, there is a good chance you want to upgrade it to be able to handle the varying terrain and elements you may encounter. Aftermarket parts are common, as these vehicles are popular for off-roading. The only issue is choosing which parts to purchase, as the options seem endless, from tires to a fuel injection kit. What you get depends on various factors, such as vehicle use, type of Jeep you have, and budget, but these are the top 5 best-selling Jeep accessories.
1. Lift Kit and Suspension System
If you plan to take your Jeep off the beaten path, one of the most popular Jeep aftermarket parts is a lift kit. This raises the Jeep up so that it has higher clearance to move over rocks, boulders, and other obstacles. For the ultimate comfort, many people also add on a suspension system at the same time. Suspension components, such as shocks and springs, help improve the comfort of passengers in the vehicle and are a good addition to a lift kit.
2. Tires
Once you have installed a lift kit, the next step is often to get new tires and wheels. The tires that originally come with your Jeep are ill-equipped for most types of off-roading terrain. Search for ones that can handle rocks, mud, snow, and steep hills. You can find tires that are just functional or those that not only can handle various terrains, but also look good.
3. Winch
When you go off the beaten path, there is always the chance that you will encounter mud, large boulders, or ditches. These obstacles can result in you getting stuck or you not being able to get to where you want to go. Having a winch allows you to get out of a jam. The various benefits of winches include:
- Ability to move or pull heavy objects
- Add extra power and mobility
- Versatile in various conditions
- Reduce damage to the vehicle
Another benefit is that you become the hero in the event you encounter another off-road vehicle that is stuck and does not have a winch.
4. Off-Road Bumpers
If you are proud of how your Jeep looks, you probably want to protect it from dirt, debris, and rocks. Off-road bumpers are popular aftermarket parts, as they protect the exterior of the vehicle as well as the grille and other components. Upgraded bumpers also allow you to attach a winch or other accessories.
5. Lights
If you plan on driving your Jeep in the dark, upgraded lights are a good option. LED lightbars help increase visibility, as they flood the surrounding area with light, allowing you to see upcoming obstacles, wildlife, and risky terrain.
Whether you choose to outfit your Jeep with these popular aftermarket parts, or discover other parts that will better suit your needs, upgrading your vehicle can be a never-ending, but fun, process. If you need a supercharger for sale, new tires, or rock sliders, the additions will improve the functionality and appearance of your Jeep.
