If you own a Jeep then you know that a big part of the experience is adding your own Jeep accessories to customize your ride to your lifestyle and the way you use your vehicle.  In this buying guide we’ll take a look at the top 10 Jeep accessories as well as some tips on where to find them.

1. Jeep Lift Kits

If you want to slap larger tires on your Jeep Wrangler or Cherokee you may also need to add a lift kit to give those new tires the room they need.  Lift kits are available to fit virtually any Jeep, and some of the best available are made by Rough Country, Black Diamond, Rancho, Daystar, Warrior Products and Skyjacker. 

2. Jeep Tire Covers

3. Jeep Floor Mats

Floor mats get abused if you do any amount of off-road driving or mudding.  Having an extra set along saves on cleanup time and will help save your carpet.  You can chose from durable rubber or carpet-style mats to fit your needs.  Husky Liners are as tough as it gets, but you’ll find quality Jeep floor mats from Lloyd Mats, Weathertech, Nifty, Jeep and Plasticolor.

4. Jeep Soft Tops

If your Jeep Wrangler is due for a new top, you’ll find Jeep Soft Tops ranging in prices from about $200 for a cheapie to $800 - $1100 for a top of the line model.  Bestop makes some of the highest rated of these Jeep accessories, but you’ll do well with Jeep soft tops from Rampage or Pavement Ends.

5. Jeep Fender Flares

A quality set of Jeep fender flares can add style to your ride as well as offer extra protection for your paint job when you’re pushing through brush, navigating a rocky pass or plowing through snow and ice.  You’ve heard of Bushwhacker, Rugged Ridge and Warrior Products, but Xenon and Warn Jeep fender flares are also worth a look.

6. Jeep Bumpers

If you never require a new bumper for your Jeep, you’re not trying hard enough.   It never hurts to add a more rugged bumper either, like a front double tube model with a hoop.  Quality Jeep Bumpers will pay for themselves again and again as they save your grill, your radiator or even your engine.  Look for the best Jeep bumpers Smittybilt, Rampage, ARB, Warn and other makers of quality Jeep accessories. 

7. Jeep Wheels

Don’t forget these Jeep accessories.  They can add much more than style.  They can reduce weight, improve acceleration and enhance braking.  The styles are endless, with just the right size available to give you the look and ride you want.  Cragar makes outstanding Jeep wheels, but check out Black Rock, Pro Comp, ION, American Racing and others to see what they offer.

8. Jeep Lighting

Having extra lighting makes sense in many conditions you’ll take your Jeep into.  Jeep lighting options include auxiliary lamps, fog lights, roof kits, underlights and more.  The best brands in the business include KC HiLites, Rugged Ridge, Rampage, PIAA, Warn and others.  These Jeep accessories add safety as well as looks to any Jeep they adorn.

9. Interior Jeep Accessories

Just because you take your Jeep into some uncomfortable situations doesn’t mean your interior can’t afford certain creature comforts.  These Jeep interior accessories include extra dome lights or map lights, dash or console organizers, rear seat storage, arm rest pads, roll bar sunglasses holders, cup holders and more.  These Jeep accessories are offered by dozens of quality companies and let you tailor your interior to perfectly suit you.

10. Jeep Winches

Speaking of uncomfortable places, when it’s time to pull yourself out of the mud or up a ridiculous incline – or get your buddy out of the river, a winch is invaluable.  Superwinch, Warn, Smittybilt, ARB and Rugged Ridge make some of the best available. 

The best place to find the Jeep accessories you need is online.  The selection includes virtually every brand and model made, and prices are more competitive than you’ll find in local Jeep gear shops.  You’ll find them at all the sites you shop for Jeep parts, including eBay and Amazon, as well as sites dedicated to parts and accessories such as Quadratec, Mopar, or JC Whitney.
