As a CDJR dealer, we may be biased, but when it comes to adventure, we believe nothing tops a Jeep's performance and capabilities. Whether you're hitting the trail in a Grand Cherokee or fording water in a Wrangler 4xe, there's something special about Jeep's lineup of Trail Rated vehicles. But how can you get the most out of your Jeep when the real fun only starts once the pavement ends?
Upgraded Tires
Different tires are meant for different jobs, and what will play nicely on the highway may not always be the best choice when sharp rocks and sticks are trying to poke holes in your rubber. Deep treads, reinforced sidewalls, and all-terrain versatility are crucial in keeping your Jeep rolling. Check with your dealer about what tires may best suit your needs.
Protective Bumpers and Skid Plate
Your Jeep's skid plate and bumpers protect your vehicle both from obstacles and debris. Just like you, your Jeep's underbelly can be vulnerable; making sure your skid plate is in good shape (or getting one installed if your vehicle didn't come with one off the line) can protect your Jeep's vitals when the going gets bumpy.
Regular Maintenance
As unadventurous as regular maintenance may sound, your capabilities in the back woods depend on keeping your Jeep in top condition. Regular oil changes, brake and shock inspections, and engine tune-ups can make a big difference out on the trail. Consider investing in synthetic oil to help protect your engine if you expect a lot of hard-revving or heavy wear.
Just like you, your Jeep needs to breathe, and exposure to sand, dust, or pollen can quickly clog your Jeep's air filter. Have your maintenance team inspect your air filter before your next adventure and heed their advice on whether to change it, since regularly replacing your filter can keep your engine getting the oxygen it needs to turn gasoline into grins.
Rubber Duckies
Spreading joy may not sound much like an off-road capability, but the simple truth is that Jeep owners are a special class of driver. Keeping a stash of rubber duckies in the glove box to leave on another Jeep's windshield can be a great way to help tie the community together, calling out another Jeep for a pretty paint job or a particularly prominent set of mud splatters. The rubber ducky tradition keeps the spirit of playful adventure alive.
