Mo — Fri, 04 Jan 2013 20:50:58 +0000

Many questions can be raised regarding having a roof rack on your Jeep or not. Roof rack is one handy piece of accessory for your Jeep; its installation will definitely allow you to carry around more luggage than the normal capacity your Jeep can allow you to. It always come in handy for off-roaders who tend to head out to distant places for their adventures or you seek to discover places far away from normal civilization, usually the amount of stuff you would like to carry might over flow the available space in compartment, that puts you at risk with things stuffed in your Jeep cabin. So roof rack is definitely worth a buy, you can find a variety of sizes and shapes on any online aftermarket Jeep parts outlet. You can pick the one which matches your Jeep custom style.

The installation for any rack you buy is pretty easy, some come with easy bolt on installation, and these usually can be just taken off by simply loosing the plastic bolts on the base of roof rack. There are some which have to be bolted on to the roof your Jeep. Roof racks not only give you extra space on your Jeep but also give you multiple options of lighting. Unless you want to go into electrical stuff, roof racks don’t require you to be a professional to fix one up on the roof of your Jeep.

The most basic help a roof rack will be able to offer, when you plan to head out for adventure or another city with your family or friends, you tend to carry a lot of luggage, which will also cover the space inside your driving cabin, but if you have a Roof rack installed before you head out, then it will certainly give an extra space inside your Jeep, adding an ease to your journey. To be on the safe side always ensure that your roof rack is firmly in place before you put luggage on top, as the loose installation can be quite risky on off-road.

Always buy your parts from a trusted outlet, and make sure to get all the info you may regarding the product you buying. A roof rack made out of lesser material can result into various unforeseen outcomes and put you on halt.

Jeep keeping in mind the basics of Wrangler has redone yet again an amazing job. Words can get less with features which are enhanced but there are few things which need to be highlighted here.

Anti Spin Differential: Talking about keeping its name Wrangler has outdone its previous installation on Wrangler Moab of anti spin differential on rear, which enhances trailing on rocky terrains or no matter where you are looking to take it. The previous installations were already doing a fantastic job but with enhancements in new electronic parts it has been outdone.

Wrangler Wheels and Tires: The tires used in factory installation are made by Goodyear which provide good comfortable drive and are quite rugged. The current installation is known as SilentArmor which is loaded with Kevlar reinforcements. Jeep has done an amazing job with alloy rims, which are painted gloss black.

Jeep Tire Pressure on the Trails

Mo — Sat, 06 Oct 2012 13:24:21 +0000

Taking your Jeep for an Off Road Trip can be ton of fun. But it can also turn into a nightmare if you are not well prepared. So let us give you some well known tip for adjusting your Jeep tire pressure before you get on the rough trails for some cool adventures.

When on the trails, you need as much traction as possible. Simply put, more tire rubber on the surface more traction vehicle will gain.

So how does one get more traction; simple, lets lower the tire pressure. This oldest trick in the book will give you more foot print on the ground. On a Radial Tire one can let 1/3 air out without damaging the tire. For a Bias ply tire since they have rigid sidewalls you can go little lower, but better to just stick with 1/3 air. This should be more then sufficient for someone on medium level trails.
