6. Rock Rails

The great outdoors aren't made for Jeeps, that's why you must make your Jeep for the great outdoors!

ARB sells some pretty awesome "Rock Sliders" that do the job perfectly.

7. Seat Covers

Jeep Seat Covers

Whether your seats are new or used, they need to be protected. If you're like me, you'll be removing your roof every once in a while. Well, Jeep seats just weren't designed to maintain quality when exposed to elements like rain, wind, and sun. That's why we're putting seat covers on this list, we think these make a great long-term investment for any Jeep owner.

9. Roof Rack

Jeep Roof Rack

Installing a high quality roof rack has numerous benefits. We prefer using it to transport our cooler, toolbox, and recovery gear. However, these usually have a 300lbs weight limit so you can expect to transport anything you want within reason.

12. Soft Tops

Jeep Soft Tops

This will be one of your hardest questions, should you go with a soft top or not? Keep in mind that soft tops are a part of Jeep history, these allow you to simply unzip the window or pull the top down entirely. However, hard tops also have their benefits! Providing more security, hard tops are much more durable and a little more on the quiet side.

Weighing the benefits of a Soft Top VS Hard Top will have to be a separate article, but we'll go ahead and link a good soft top anyway.

Conclusion

Tricking your Jeep out will make it look better, drive better, and above all else make driving it a lot more fun! It's probably best to start small and add a few modifications at a time as these mods can get a little pricey. (We know your wife won't be too happy about that!).
