Making Your Jeep Wrangler Winter-Proof

By Richard Potts

Winter almost always equates to more difficult and dangerous terrains and trails for any off-road enthusiast. However, more risk involved means more fun and excitement to the hardcore Jeeper. If you own a Jeep Wrangler, you know that winter can really be great time to go off-roading. That is if your Jeep Wrangler can take on the winter and what it brings to the table.

Integrating your Jeep Wrangler with the appropriate accessories can beef up your 4x4 vehicle and take on any trails on winter time. And there are a lot of Jeep accessories out there. This article will help you pick the best parts to transform your Jeep Wrangler into the ultimate winter 4x4 off-road machine.

Getting a top for your Wrangler should be a priority as rain and heavy downpour of snow and ice will be the norm of the weather. A winter top for your Jeep Wrangler will not only provide with some shade, it will protect you from the elements. Once the sun starts to peek through the cloud, you can just remove the top and bask in its warmth again.

The roads during winter months provide a perilous circumstance to all type of vehicles. Rigging your Jeep Wrangler with snow tires with treads that are designed to give you a good friction on the road even if its slippery and wet is a good way to prep up for the long drive ahead. Top class snow tires will give you better control and allows you to have full control of your Wrangler even if the road is drenched in snow and ice.

Winter does not only mean snow, it also comes with mud. And while it is fun to splatter mud all around, mud can get inside your Jeep and do some dirty work on the carpets and interiors. If you want your interiors to be easily maintainable, fit them with Jeep Wrangler floor mats and liners.

Other essential accessories you might want to bring along when off-roading in winter are jacks, fuel containers, and camping equipment. You don't want to get stranded without these essentials. Its like getting lost in the woods with nothing but a broken compass that points to the west.

Winter may be chilly and boring for some. But for off-roaders, winter present them with trails that are clad in snow and ice and dangerous off-road routes that scare the hell out of ordinary drivers. Simply put, winter is still a good season to launch an off-road adventure.
