Big Safety in Little Wheel Locks

Your Jeep is an investment and you want to protect it. There are some minor things you can add, besides car alarms that will secure your Jeep and keep it safe from prying eyes. Remember, thieves don't like anything that slows them down and will generally move on from a vehicle that will take more than a few seconds to break into.

You can eliminate the possibility of either gas theft or vandalism to your gas tank through a locking gas cap. Easy to install, it just snaps and locks into place and you get instant piece of mind.

Another consideration is to darken your windows where it is legal - check with your local authorities to find out how much darkening and which windows can be darkened on your Jeep. Some areas will only allow backseat passenger window and back darkened; other areas will only allow a certain level of darkening on personal passenger vehicles. Just by eliminating someone seeing the items that are in your back seats or cargo area if you've been shopping for a day will greatly reduce the possibility that your Jeep will become a break-in crime statistic.

There is money in your wheels and thieves know it. Wheel locks with an exclusive key code is another good way to secure your Jeep. This move alone will give you the confidence that you won't come down one more to start your Jeep and your wheels will be missing.

Use these tips and make your Jeep all around safer. Remember,no matter where you live - you can be a crime statistic - be proactive and make a few upgrades and you can make your Jeep very unattractive to criminals.

Think Ahead to Those Jeep Road Trips in the Spring!

It's hard to remember when you're looking at ice and snow on the ground, but spring isn't that far away and along with thinking about what you want to put in your garden this year, start considering ways to spruce up your Jeep for spring to get the most out of your road trips.

One thing most Jeep owners have in common is that they enjoy getting out in the great outdoors as often as possible. A great addition to your Jeep would be a bike rack so you and your favorite traveling buddy can grab your bikes and go explore new areas that even your Jeep can't reach.

Add some front air and side air reflectors to make your Jeep even more aerodynamic. You'll notice a lot less "drag" happening when you're driving just with these additions. Tubular bumpers not only add a rugged look to your Jeep, they also do a great job of protecting the grille on your vehicle. Speaking of grilles, if you're tired of looking at the factory issued black grille on your Jeep Wrangler, swap it out for a shiny new chrome grille.

A cab cover is another addition that you'll find a lot of use for. The weather-resistant high quality nylon cap in Black or Silver fits snugly over your Jeep's hard or soft top. Silver color is a sun reflective material that reduces interior temperatures and sun fading. Great for sunny climates. Also will fit with top off to help keep interior clean and dry. Elastic loops attach around taillights and mirrors, and includes two integrated cords that attach to the Jeep to secure the cover under the door area. Folds into a small snap closure bag that is included for easy storage.

And those are just a few ideas for making your Jeep look even better for 2007.

Let's Talk Making Your Jeep Wrangler Secure in 2008


You can add some great new accessories to your Jeep Wrangler that will make your vehicle even safer both on and off the road. Additionally, some insurance companies will actually give you breaks on your premium for having certain safety devices installed on your Jeep. Since all polices are individual, ask your agent or insurance company if the price breaks will apply to your policy.

One great addition no one should be without is a locking gas cap. You simply use the push-click installation and your gas cap is ready to lock. Not only will it ensure your gasoline stays IN, it also ensures that no one adds anything to your gas tank such as corn syrup as kids have been known to do never realizing the true level of damage they cause.

You paid good money for your tires and wheels, make sure they stay on your Jeep with a set of wheel locks. Each Wheel Lock kit includes four or five chrome-plated locking nuts, and one exclusive Mopar key that fits your set only.

A security system is a must. With car theft at an all time high, it pays more than ever to invest in a security system. The EVS I Security System for Jeeps has a keyless entry. The complete kit includes unique vehicle harness and offers perimeter/interior protection with horn-honk alarm, starter interrupt and dash-mounted LED.

Keep your Jeep safe in the new year and add a few security accessories that will ensure you sleep better at night!

All Weather Baby Carrier

Yes, winter is here in full force, but on those few and far between nice days, you can still bundle up baby and take her for a stroll.

Jeep has an outstanding stroller that is perfect for walking your favorite paths in a local forest or just around the block looking at the squirrels, neighborhood kids and other activity happening in your area. Babies get bored just like you do and getting out is fun and very stimulating.

The stroller is built for comfort and safety, as all Jeep products are. The Wrangler® All-Weather stroller is a lightweight umbrella stroller that has a handy backrest to keep your little one comfortable. In the winter the mesh folds down to keep cold winds from blowing in from the back and in the summer you can roll it up and it creates a great pillow for relaxing or just napping while the mesh lets the air circulate and keep your baby cool and not overheated in the warmer months.

It's also made with all terrain as well as shock absorbing front swivel wheels so your stroller will take the bumps and let your baby just enjoy the ride. The canopy is easily adjustable to keep the sun off your little one and there are even two handy cargo side bags for storage of a juice cup, crackers and small snacks in case you want to make your trek more than just a roll around the block.

The next time the weather is clear, bundle up your little one and take her out for a stroll. Talk about what you see and make up songs as you go - your little one will love it!
