Owning an SUV means you like to explore the great outdoors. Driving a Jeep means you are sure to get through the toughest of conditions without a fuss. But say you want more out of your Jeep. Some adventures out in the wild demand the toughest stuff you’ve got, and a few upgrades ought to do the trick.
A quick Google search or browsing through YouTube exposes you to various available modifications, but more choice leads to more confusion. At ExtremeTerrain, you can cut the outside noise and figure out what mods go alongside your Jeep and how we can help get you there. This article on the five best Jeep modifications for beginners should set you on your modification journey. Before we kick things off, here are a few factors you might want to keep in mind before clicking on our website and kickstarting your modification journey.
1. Upgrading Your Bumper
Ever felt like your Jeep could do with some more aggressive looks? It's time you refreshed its exterior and added some protection with bumpers to help you stand out. If serious off-road trails call to you, our range of aluminum bumpers might suit you, or if you're the type of person that partakes in some light off-roading, our range of tube bumpers might do the trick.
2. Turning Your Jeep Into a Convertible With a Soft Top
Very few experiences match up to having the top down on a summer's drive and experiencing all the natural elements as you drive by. While it might sound like a big task, it can make your trusty Jeep into a convertible weekend cruiser. There are different choices of convertible tops you can also fit on that can help transform your Jeep, starting with a simple hard top or a soft top and even going the extra mile and installing a bikini top. If you've decided which route you want to take, our range of items from Bestop provides you with products of the highest quality.
3. Enhance Visibility With Led Lights
Out and about where no one has been is scary in itself. Having to suffer with low visibility is an experience no one wants to face. While lighting is important, some aftermarket options can take away from the design aesthetic of your Jeep. Thankfully, with our range of LED lights, be it a simple 7" flood light or a 50" LED light bar system, you can rest assured that darkness is nothing to be afraid of, no matter where you are, and your Jeep retains its cool factor.
4. Seat Covers to Protect Your Interior
Be it vintage or fresh off the showroom floor, no one wants their precious interior damaged or dirtied in any way. However, this can be a tough task when you consider that your Jeep is always off the beaten path. A quick and easy fix would be to install seat covers to protect your interior. Browsing through seat covers on our site gives you a range of options, from a simple cotton seat cover to environmentally friendly Cordura covers.
5. Grab Handles for Additional Support
While you're tackling the rough and harsh conditions of the great outdoors, it's always preferable for your passengers to have something to hold on to when negotiating a challenging situation. Installing grab handles can help eliminate this problem. With bolt-on options, ExtremeTerrain has a host of grab handles for your front seat and rear passengers. We also have a selection of suppliers to suit your color choice and final finish.
