Ways to Entertain the Kids In Your Jeep Grand Cherokee


You don't have to dread long car trips with your kids. If your family is like most, you're "wired" and have DVDs, CDs, computers, laptops, video games and more running throughout the day and your kids don't like to be without their technology. One such solution for keeping the kiddos entertained is found in a rear seat mounting video player. Not only can your kids take along their favorite movies for the trip, but it also plays CDs and will allow for plug ins so they can play their video games on the go too!

Your Jeep Grand Cherokee is a fabulous vehicle, without a doubt. However, when you add in the awesome feature of a DVD Rear Seat Video Player, then it becomes a true godsend and a real dream to take on long trips with the kids. Your children can enjoy all of their favorite movies on a crystal clear LCD display that gets mounted right onto the roof. If you don't want to listen to their movies, you can even get wireless headphones for them to use! This means that you can enjoy your music, which they may consider lame, and they can have their entertainment in the back. It is really a win-win situation for everyone involved!

Once you add this little gem to your Jeep Grand Cherokee, road tripping may just be your most favorite thing to do.

Wear Your Jeep Pride


Okay, admit it - you love your Jeep and you don't care who knows it.

Besides driving a jeep, there a number of good ways to show your Jeep pride with some of the top notch licensed Jeep products that are available.

If you like road tripping with the top off your Jeep, keep your dome out of the sun with a cool Jeep hat. Another way to show your Jeep pride is with a 100% Cotton Jeep Shirt. These shirts are licensed by Jeep and well made with double stitching at the stress points to ensure good wear. The shirt is screen printed on the front with a Jeep Wrangle with an American flag. This shirt is available in sizes from Medium to 2XL. As you know during the warmer months, white is always a good choice as it reflects heat and a white shirt will keep you cooler than a darker one. During the winter months, it's a good idea to layer your clothing and use a t-shirt such as this as your second layer. The first layer is usually thermal and then a cotton second layer will help hold on your body heat better.

If you want to get a great gift for someone that is a Jeep fan, a shirt, hat or watch will make a great accessory to show Jeep pride. So, go on and show your love for your make of vehicle - and you have to admit - Jeep items make conversation starts so you might win a few new Jeep converts during your outings when you're wearing Jeep gear!

Get Your Little One Outside With a Jeep Trike

Obesity for children is at an epidemic rate and the earlier good activity habits are learned, the less of a chance your child has for becoming a statistic.

If you have a kiddo that is just too small for a bicycle but wants to play along with the bigger kids, there is a happy solution that will keep your little one active and playing all year round; the Jeep Jerry Can Trike is a perfect fit for kids that are big enough for a riding toy but too little for a bicycle.

For most children, riding a tricycle is easy and because of the stability of the rear tires in conjunction to the large front tire - very little balance is actually required and the child will acquire the necessary balance skills through riding a tricycle to graduate to a bicycle when he or she is older.

The only skill your little one needs to have mastered is to ability to sit up in a chair on their own. In addition to being easy to learn to drive, this tricycle also has some fun features that your little one will truly enjoy such as the rear mounted jerry can that opens for storage and will hold all the "treasures" your little one finds outside.

The saddle seat on this tricycle is very comfortable and the handles have easy grip so little hands don't slip off. The knobby wheels provide for extra traction if your child encounters loose gravel or sand when they are out riding and the rubberized pedals make it easy to keep their feet on. Also, this tricycle has a replica Jeep® grille and fenders and also has the fun edition of built in electronic sounds and lights.

It goes without saying that your child should only ride a tricycle under adult or other responsible person supervision. Your little one may not really be old enough to roll with the bigger kids but they can look and feel the part along with getting great exercise, with their own Jeep Trike.

Keep Your Carpets Nice in Your Jeep


One thing about the summertime, if you own a Jeep - you're on the go. If you're like most vehicle owners, you do your best to keep your mode of transportation running in tip-top shape. Your vehicle gets regular oil changes and tune ups and when there's the occasional problem, you get it fixed before it turns into a larger problem.

Since you keep under the hood running so well, you may neglect the interior of your Jeep a little. It's easy to do if you're a busy person, however there are a few items that can keep your Jeep looking as sharp inside as outside and under the hood.

First of all, invest in an interior litter bag. This is a must, especially if you have kids. It will help keep those little papers, wrappers and other items that seem to just fall off kids and junk up the inside of your Jeep.

Another great addition to your Jeep will be carpet mats. Used in the floor of your Jeep, they will keep slushy, muddy feet (and paws if your favorite canine companion is a frequent passenger) from marring up your interior carpeting and keeping your interior looking nice.

Installation is easy - you just lay down a set of slush-style floor mats and your interior carpets will be protected. No matter what time of year, these mats will do a good job of keeping the dirt, grime, dirty snow and mud from getting tracked in and ground into your carpeting. The grooves in the mats hold the slush in place and as the mats get dirty, simply take them out and hose them off and once dry - place back in your jeep. You can even order the slush-style floor mats in either dark taupe or dark slate to match your Jeep's interior.

Keep Track of Time in Style

Jeeps are some of the most dependable vehicles on the road today, and the countless stories told of jeep adventures are the 'stuff' that legends are made of. The vehicle is historically rugged, and is synonymous with the man or woman who cuts their teeth on being up close and personal with the great outdoors.

There are certain things in life that we have come to depend upon. And with those standards and levels of expectation, comes a commitment by the manufacturer of a product, or provider of a service, to create and deliver the best product possible. No one can deny that Jeep delivers in this respect.

This same standard of excellence, is built into every outdoor collection watch that Jeep endorses. The "Men's Outdoor Chronograph/Tachymeter 1017" might have a long name, but it's reliability is unmatched by any watch in its class. It comes wrapped in a sturdy stainless steel case, natural rubber, and has a handy compass. The hands and numbers are ultra-luminescent, and this is sure to do the job if you need to know the time in the wilderness or open road at night.

Its three year batter life also means you won't be worried about your time piece running down if you're stranded for a short period of time. Water resistance to a fault, also assures you that having your watched submerged for any reason, won't be a cause for your watch to fail. If you're in a jeep, it makes perfect sense for all of your accessories to reflect the durability and dependability that has made Jeeps respected around the world.

Never Leave Home Without a Tent


It might be true that a Jeep can take you just about anyplace imaginable. However, once you're there, it will make life a whole lot easier if you can at least stay the night. And, having a tent that attaches to the jeep will come in handy if it's monsoon season in the location where you've chose to camp under the stars.

The 10' by 10' by ten blue and gray tent is the perfect selection for the camper that wants to set up shop in a hurry. You get some great accessories for this nifty and durable tent. It includes full rain fly, inside pockets, storage bag, and an overhead storage net. And, when you get the urge to zip out on some new adventure, the tent is also designed to stand alone when detached from your jeep.

Of course, you may not set out to spend the night under the stars, but it sure won't hurt anything to be fully prepared. It's a great accessory that's easy on the wallet or purse as well. So, if you own a Liberty, Wrangler, Grand Cherokee, Patriot, or Jeep Compass, the great road trip is just around the corner. And, it pretty much frees the adventurer to plan that road trip most anytime of the year. Like the Jeep itself, the blue and gray tent is durable and dependable when and where it counts.

Don't leave home without it. It's just as important as the safety equipment or any other accessories needed for a fun holiday or excursion about the country.
