3 Modifications To Make to Your Jeep for Winter

A Jeep’s rugged resilience makes it a fun vehicle to drive any time of the year. Prepare for winter driving with these three simple modifications for your rig.

Whether you’re driving around the concrete jungle or going on an off-road excursion, winter requires you to make some changes to your Jeep. Improve safety and comfort for yourself and your passengers with these three modifications to make to your Jeep for winter.

1. Tires

With snow and ice on the ground, it’s critical that your tires are in great condition. Depending on how you plan to drive your vehicle, you might consider getting winter tires. Among other features, winter tires have a deeper tread depth and special tread patterns that improve their traction on snow.

If you don’t get much snow where you drive, all-season tires will work fine. Just make sure they have a deep tread, and keep them inflated to the proper PSI levels as listed on the sticker inside the driver’s door.

2. Grille

The next modification to make to your Jeep for the winter is replacing the grille. One of the ways changing the grille can improve your Jeep’s performance is by optimizing airflow over the radiator and cooling the engine.

In the wintertime, however, one of the top reasons to consider replacing the grille is to enhance visibility. Some grilles come with built-in headlights, meaning this one simple modification can improve the look of your vehicle and your visibility on the road.

3. Winch Bumper

If you want to spend more time off-roading, a bumper with a winch is a great upgrade any time of year. But in winter conditions, you might appreciate this modification even more.

With a built-in winch, you’ll have an easier time recovering your vehicle if it gets stuck on the trail. The winch bumper has anchor points so your vehicle doesn’t sustain damage during recovery. And because of their construction, winch bumpers provide greater protection than most factory bumpers as you drive.

In addition to changing your tires, grille, and bumper, you’ll need to prepare your vehicle in ways that don’t include modifications. Check your rig’s fluid levels, including oil, antifreeze, windshield fluid, power steering fluid, brake fluid, and transmission fluid. Consider changing your Jeep’s floor mats to keep mud and slush contained.

These basic modifications to your Jeep will make a big difference and help keep you and others on the road safe. Modifying your tires for winter surfaces, changing your grille for better lighting, and adding a winch bumper for vehicle recovery will help you adequately prepare your Jeep for winter driving.
