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!

Cold Weather is Coming - Are You Prepared in Case You're Stranded?

It doesn't matter if you have the newest model Wrangler or a Jeep that is years and years old. You can get stranded and while you're waiting for help, during the colder months it's essential that you have items available to keep yourself and your family or traveling companions warm until you can get out of the situation.

First of all, put together your own little kit and keep it in your Jeep at all times. Put a few thermal blankets, an LED lantern that runs on batteries not fuel, jumper cables, a basic tool kit, band aids, duct tape, electrical tape, a heavy duty tow strap, road side flairs, a "Help Call Police" sign for your windshield another type of sign that gets a quick response from passing motorists is "Children Inside - Call Police", portable warmers (like hunters and military personnel use) and some people even pick up MRE's (military ready to eat meals) and put them in their Jeep-just in case. The MRE's have a shelf life of years so you can toss a few in your kit and forget about them, additionally many MRE's have a self heating feature so you can warm your insides while you're waiting for help.

In the event you are stranded and you are unable to get a signal on your cell phone, you may wind up spending the night in a cold and dark place. Also make sure a crank battery is part of your kit. You can recharge a cellphone, power lights and other items, even if your battery is dead. Just a few turns of the crank and you've generated electricity.

If you're traveling with kids, they will feel a lot better if you have a lantern handy and everyone can cuddle up with extra blankets. If there is a chance of traffic on the road you're on - put up the sign in your windshield and you can use a roadside flair to make sure your vehicle is visible to any traffic passing by. You can stay warm by popping open the warmers and given one to each child. The warmers work by creating a chemical reaction that will generate heat for roughly two hours. They are available in most military and outdoor supply stores. When you're stocking your roadside kit - stock enough for an overnight stay for at least 3-4 people so you have enough to keep everyone warm throughout the night if you may be stranded that long.

There are a lot of things you can do to prepare for the unexpected. Your Jeep was built to handle the most extreme of conditions, however there may come a situation where are you stranded for a while and it's for those times you need to be prepared so you can get through being stranded in safety and a minimum of stress.

A Guide Along the Way That Never Sleeps

One of the best things about owning a Jeep is you're never forced to stay on the paved road and you can exploring and find your own roads to travel. If you love to camp and spend time outdoors you can take advantage of the many 4-wheeling trails made for Jeeps and explore the wilder side of the trail on your own terms.

A great way to spend a weekend with your family is to bring along the tailgate attaching tent, your Jeep bicycles and find a remote place in the woods to go camping. Forget the crowded campgrounds and find a place where your family can camp in quiet, peaceful solitude. Many national forests and state managed lands have campsites scattered around many areas of the forest and some are remote enough that unless you have the 4-wheel drive power of a Jeep, you won't be able to make to the campsite.

You don't need a lot to go camping. Just your tent, light sources such as a couple of LED lanterns, food that is stored in a couple of coolers, water, personal toiletries and materials for a contained fire to gather around at night. You can spend a fun weekend camping and get away from the hassles of everyday life, the yard work, cell phones, extra-curricular activities and stresses from your work life can all be placed on hold as you enjoy rediscovering spending time with your family. http://store.yahoo.com/yhst-83673118800219/trgunasy.html">A trail guide is a very handy gadget to along as you explore. It can actually show you where you are on the trail and what to expect.

Let your Jeep show you what it can really do and the next weekend outing you plan for your family - make it a wilderness adventure that everyone will enjoy and when you get lost, it will be on purpose!
