Preparing for Winter with the Right Truck & Jeep Accessories

In the first part of this series, we brought you some of the top truck & Jeep parts to prepare you for harsher winter weather. Now we're bringing you even more great products to keep you and your vehicle powering through the winter blues.

Winter Truck & Jeep Accesories:

• Winter Covers
• Winter Interior Protection

• Winter Miscellaneous

• Hi-Lift Neoprene Jack Covers

  Keeping a jack around for emergencies is only useful if the jack is functioning properly. To keep it in working order throughout the winter, keep it in a neoprene jack cover. This will protect it from mud and dirt, and help keep it lubricated. If you don't use a cover, the main lifting mechanism can become caked in frozen dirt and mud that will deteriorate the jack, likely causing it to malfunction the next time you need it. By simply encasing these Jeep and truck parts with the Hi-Lift Neoprene Jack cover, you'll avoid it all. Plus, the cover dries quickly and is machine washable.

• Smittybilt Full Climate Jeep Covers

  Jeep tops are great for protecting the cab of your Jeep, but what about the exterior? There are so many natural elements that run rampant in the winter and can cause major deterioration including dirt, moisture, UV rays, and more. Smittybilt Full Climate Jeep Covers protect the entire Jeep from these harmful facets of nature and still allow the paint to breathe. The secret is the distinctive diamond bond material pattern of the cover, allowing any moisture and air to escape while keeping out destructive ultraviolet rays and heat buildup. The whole Jeep stays protected thanks to double-stitched elastic hems that ensure a custom fit every time. Each cover comes with heavy-duty grommets, a lock, bag, and cable.

Cargo remains secure since the tonneau cover locks with the tailgate. Or, if you need to have it partially open for larger cargo, there's a detent system to secure it every 12 inches. With a simple, no drill installation, the Pace Edwards JackRabbit tonneau cover offers all the easy protection you need.
