Jeep accessories part 2


This will be part two of my jeep accessories blog. A recap of last blog is that there are many different ways to customize your jeep such as lights, lift kits and fenders. But there are far more than just those customizations.

Another customization is Rock rails or sliding rails. The purpose of rock rails/ sliding rails is to be able to crawl over rocks with out denting the sides of your jeep. They also act as running boards. Many different styles of rock rails exist. Some rock rails are made from metal tubing and gives off a more stylish look. Others are made of just solid steel. The solid steel rock rails provide better protection but are not very stylish. So whatever rock rails you buy you have to choose either better protection or better style.

A very popular customization is bumpers. Bumpers provide protection from front and rear collisions. There are a multitude of different styles for bumpers. One style is called a stinger bumper. A stinger bumper is made of steel and goes over where the original bumper was but was a horseshoe shaped piece of metal tubing coming out of the front of it. The stinger bumper has many application. Is can protect the vehicle from collisions like any other bumper and with the horseshoe shaped piece of metal tubing comes out an angle that allows you to go down very steep inclines. How this works is the ground will catch the bumper and the angle the piece of metal tubing is at will actually bring your front tires to the ground instead of you just going front first into the ground and getting stuck. Another bumper is just a regular steel bumper. The purpose of this bumper is to protect from collisions. These bumpers come in different variations from Just a slab of metal to having a slot to hold a winch and a place to put D-rings. 


There are also interior customization. One interior customization is seats. There are many different kinds of seats to put in your jeep. The stock seats that come in a jeep is a normal cloth seat with a normal three point seat belt. You can get leather seats for a far more comfortable ride. Another type of custom seat is a racing seat. Racing seats caress the driver better and also have more advanced seat belts. People use these seats for extreme off roading.
