Gift Ideas For Your Favorite Jeep Driver

If you're wondering what to get your favorite jeep owner for Christmas, you can't go wrong when you buy jeep accessories to enhance their driving experience all year long.

Some jeep accessories provide a greater piece of mind for drivers of vehicles that are open to theft of personal property because of their basic design, while others address safety concerns.

Jeep Accessories for Security

One of the best reasons for driving a jeep is the ability to remove doors, windows, and tops in order to experience the feeling of the freedom of the open road. However, like all freedom, it comes with a cost. Anything of value that is left inside is vulnerable to theft. The solutions?

Locking Console Box Some older jeeps have no locking console box, which is the storage box that sits on the floor between the front seats, while many newer models have flimsy locked lids that can easily be pried open with a screwdriver.  A heavy duty locked console box will allow a driver to leave sunglasses and other personal items such as detachable radio face plates in the vehicle without fear of thievery.

Removable Rear Storage Compartment This accessory provides even more secure storage. It is a fitted metal plate that fits behind the rear seats of a jeep between the bottom of the rear window and the top of the swing out tail gate.  A secure storage space is created under the plate, which cannot be accessed by cutting the plastic rear window of a convertible top or by prying up the louver type glass window of a hard top. 

Jeep Accessories for Safety

Replacement Side Mirrors or Relocation Brackets for Standard Side Mirrors

The standard side mirrors of a jeep are located on the doors, so when the doors are removed, so are the mirrors. Driving without side mirrors is not only dangerous, but also illegal in many jurisdictions. Replacement side mirrors for jeeps are simple, adjusted by hand, and designed with brackets that attach to the windshield frame with two bolts. The benefit of replacement mirrors is that the standard mirrors can remain on the detached doors, which can be a major plus on older jeeps with rusted mirror bolts.

For those who want a cheaper alternative, relocation brackets are also designed for attachment to the windshield frame, but the standard door mirrors are removed and used in the new brackets.

If you're not certain what kind of jeep accessories to buy for your favorite enthusiast, you can always go for the jeep logo emblazoned a on rear tire cover, floor mats, or various articles of clothing that show the world their pride in driving a jeep. For more ideas, consider looking into local companies that specialize in jeep accessories, such as Jeep World.
