Owning an open-top Jeep Wrangler provides one of the most freeing and exciting driving experiences. Few things come close to feeling the fresh air on your face while surrounded by a fully customized monster. But sadly, problems can arise fast. Whether it’s theft or wear and tear, it’s best to tackle these problems early before they snowball into bigger, more expensive issues later. Follow our ‘how to protect an Open Top Jeep Wrangler’ guide!
Cleaning and Maintenance for Open Top Jeep Wranglers
Cleaning and maintaining your open-top Jeep wrangler is essential. The elements are unforgiving - UV rays, rain, bird poop, tree sap, mold and more can cause long-term damage. We suggest applying soft top protectants in a criss-cross motion to help fight back UV rays, heat and mildew. Spend some time every week to clean off any dirt or gunk, so long term damage is prevented. Never use bleach or other abrasive chemicals. We sell a range of protectants, polishes and cleaners at our custom jeep shop in Long Island, NY.
Garage Your Open Top Jeep Wrangler When Possible
Not everyone has a garage, but if you do - use it. Garages significantly reduce exposure to the elements and prevent theft. Sure, you might want it on display constantly to the neighbors, but they won’t be impressed if it’s tired and beaten.
Under Seat Lock Boxes
Sadly open-top Jeep Wranglers are prone to theft. Thieves can break in easily. We suggest storing valuables in an under-seat storage box and never in plain sight. These lockboxes are designed to fit under the driver’s front seat and hide wallets, phones, keys and more.
Locked Centre Consoles
A center console lockbox is a great way to protect an open-top Jeep-Wrangler. The box is made of industrial steel and custom-made to fit your model’s console, making it totally disguised to potential thieves.
Security Trunk Enclosure
Security truck enclosures are a great, more serious way to prevent theft of expensive gear and supplies. Trunk enclosures are made from heavy-duty steel, providing a hidden compartment for large items. The tailgate acts as the door, making access easy for only one person - the owner.
Other Open Top Jeep Wrangler Protections
There are also various other types of trunk and open-top jeep wrangler protections, including sun riders, dusters, windjammers, cab covers, metal frames. Deciding on what is best for you all depends on personal preference.
