Safer Driving in Your Jeep Commander

Some people just can't multi-task. It's downright dangerous for many people to drive and attempt to talk on a cell phone. Many people can lose track of what they are doing (driving) because they get so engrossed in the conversation at hand.

A recent study by an independent survey company showed that not paying attention when driving due to holding onto a cell phone was in the top ten reasons for automobile accidents in 2005, in areas where cell phone usage has been limited to hands free sets only, the incidence of traffic accidents by individuals struggling to drive and hold a cell phone to their ear has decreased dramatically.

Jeep has added a valuable accessory to the Jeep Commander. The UConnect system for cell phones is a voice-activated and completely hands-free. This in-vehicle communications system will fit not only your Jeep Commander but also Jeep Liberty and Jeep Grand Cherokee. It uses a small control pad, microphone and speaker.

It is voice activated so you just need to say, "Call Office" and it will dial your office. The reception is crystal clear and you won't have a problem holding a necessary conversation while you are also able to keep your eyes on the road and your attention on driving.

The UConnect will automatically mute your radio before receiving or sending a call so you never have to take your hands off the steering wheel. If you have a family where several members have cell phones, the U-Connect can have up to five phones linked to the system so no matter who is driving your Jeep, they can remain safe yet connected on the road.

Locking Gas Caps - Small Price for Peace of Mind

A locking gas cap for your Jeep is a very small investment in your peace of mind. As the prices of gasoline go up, many drivers start worrying that less than trustworthy individuals will come around in the wee hours and siphon gas. A locking gas cap will completely eliminate this worry.

Another benefit to having a locking gas cap on your Jeep is that it can prevent people intent on causing your vehicle harm through the introduction of bleach, sugar or other foreign items into your gas tank. This is especially beneficial during the summer months when this type of personal property crime tends to occur the most.

It's easy to install too. Simply remove your old gas cap and insert the locking gas cap. Turn to the right and you will hear one click meaning it is seated and then another click meaning the locking gas cap is now in place on your Jeep. Use the key to lock it and consider your gas tank safe from now on. Locking gas caps are generally under $15 and that's nothing when you consider the inconvenience of finding your tank siphoned one morning when you're late for work or worse someone has sugared your gas tank.

The locking gas cap is made from heavy duty plastic and stainless steel metal parts. The sturdy design of this item meets Federal Fuel Safety Standards for fuel leakage. Gas is more expensive than ever, protect your investment by discouraging unscrupulous individuals when you use a locking gas cap on your Jeep!

Easy Sun Protection - With a Hat

The sun is no friend to your face and head. You need protection from the UV (ultra-violet) rays just as much as you need protection from the glare of bright light and heat.

Along with the smart choice to wear sunglasses to keep the cataract and macular degeneration causing UV rays from causing damage to your eyes, you should also wear a hat to help protect your face and head from the sun.

Trucker hats are the perfect summertime hat. They look like baseball caps but they have a nylon mesh in the back giving them extra breathability meaning your head is protected from the sun but it stays cool due to the air flow from the mesh backing of the trucker hat.

This hat looks great and will keep your dome cool even on the hottest days since it doesn't trap your body heat between your hat and your head. The adjustable strap on the back means one hat will fit almost every head. The front of the hat is made of 100% cotton and will allow your skin to breath so you won't feel overheated when wearing a trucker hat in the summertime.

If you're looking for a hat that will keep the sun off your head and keep your head a little cooler than a traditional baseball cap, consider wearing a trucker hat on your next outing, you'll notice the difference!
