Awesome Holiday Ideas
Posted by Gillian Fournier on 1st Dec 2016
As the holiday season is now in full swing, sometimes we can hit a wall, have a brain-fart or flat out have no idea what we want for ourselves or that special Jeeper in our lives. Let's face it, as much as we'd love to say a #JeepBuild is done, that is rarely the case. Jeeps are and always have been a never-ending build, complete with the newest mods, replacement parts and items we completely forgot are necessities. I have mapped out a complete (or close to) list of perfect stocking stuffers, ideas and gifts!
Gifts $50 and Under:
- Offroad Elements HeadLamp Bezels: These bezels are the perfect, simple upgrade that will make your aftermarket headlights really pop! They are finished in a black powder coat for long lasting looks and durability.
- TerasFlex EZ Tire Deflator Kit: This kit is perfect for airing down before hitting the trails or cruising on the beach. Fits snugly inside the center console or glove box and comes with a handy carrying case.
- Rough Trail Universal Roll Bar Grab Handle Pair: These grab handles are a great "first mod" for new Jeep owners or those struggling to get into their newly lifted Jeeps.
- Offroad Elements Brake Nut Kit: This kit is a unique, simple upgrade and alternative to the clunky factory third brake light mount. Perfect for those who have larger spare tires and need to remain street legal.
- ARB Speedy Seal Tire Repair Kit: This is a must for anyone, especially those who enjoy hitting the trails. The kit comes with everything needed to repair a tire, whether you're on the side of the road, the middle of the trail or right in your driveway.
- Crown Automotive Roll Bar Fire Extinguisher Mount: Most offroad clubs, trails and beaches require your vehicle to be equipped with a fire extinguisher. This mount attaches to any part of your roll bar and accommodates up to a 3 lb extinguisher.
- Offroad Elements Delrin Door Hinge Bushings for 2 Door JK: Your factory door bushings can wear and corrode easily, making door removal a real pain in the ass. These bushings are a direct replacement and will never rust, rot or wear away. You can view the 4 door model bushings here!
- Smittybilt D-Ring: D-Rings are a crucial need when on the beaches or trails. You never know when you'll need to pull yourself or a fellow wheeler out from a sticky situation. These d-rings are also available in red and galvanized steel.
- ARB 10 Ft Tree Trunk Protector: Another necessity when offroading, that can commonly be forgotten or missed, is a tree trunk protector. Protect the trees from winch lines, and the trails remain open for fellow wheelers to enjoy.
- Antenna X 24" AM/FM Antenna: The factory antennas are tall, wobbly and don't always provide the best reception. Another "first mod" item, this is the perfect stocking stuffer!
Gifts $51-$100:
- ACE Engineering Lava Jacket: The perfect gift for anyone who loves having the doors off (almost) year round. The extra sleeve hooks up to the JK's vents, filling the jacket with cold air on warm days and hot air on cold days.
- Bestop Universal Lock Box: We all know at least one Jeeper who has valuables, loose change and personal belongings scattered throughout their vehicle. Keep everything safe in a pick-resistant lockbox!
- J.T. Brooks Pro Automatic Tire Deflators: These deflators are the Holy Grail when it comes to traveling off of pavement. Each kit includes 4 tire deflators and their own carrying case. View their entire line of deflators here!
- Offroad Elements M8 Stealth Limb Risers: These limb risers are a hot ticket right now and we keep seeing more and more! Keep low hanging brush and branches from hitting and cracking your windshield. Available in Standard, Gobi Rack/Roof Rack and 50" Light Bar sizes. View our entire line of limb risers here!
- Rock Hard 4x4 License Plate Relocation Bracket: Again with a "first mod", one of the first things to either get damage on the trail or want relocated, is where the stock license plate mount it. This bracket relocates your rear license plate to the center of your spare tire.
- Rugged Ridge Aluminum Hood Latches: These hood hold downs look nicer and cleaner than the stock ones, which are prone to stretching, loosening and fading over time. These latches prevent "hood flutter" at highway speeds as well.
- Rugged Ridge A-Pillar Switch Kit: Once you go adding offroad and accessory lighting and other electronic devices to your vehicle, you're gonna need a place to wire them up, right? This is perfect for lights, lockers, CB radios and more and is available for other years as well. You can view all switch panels here!
- Olympic 4x4 Products Safari Mirrors: The worst part about taking the doors off? You lose your side view mirrors. The best part about taking your doors off? These safari mirrors will keep you street legal and safe.
- Hi-Lift 48" Recovery Jack: Easily wrap-able? Nope. Not at all. Handy on the trails or for that side-of-the-road repair? Abso-stinkin-lutely! Genuinely appreciated by all? You betcha!
- BoltLock Locking Hood Latch: The coolest thing about this upgrade is that only your Jeep key can unlock it! Keep would-be-thieves, who could easily take aftermarket parts from under your hood, locked out for good!
Gifts $101-$200:
- Harken Hard Top Hoist: One of the biggest issues when removing the hard top is where to store it. If you have a garage, you're in luck. This makes hard top removal a one-person job!
- Bestop Sun Bikini for 2 Door: Driving around with the top down is fun and all, but have you ever had a sunburn on your forehead? Killer. This sun shade blocks the harmful UV rays while letting in enough sunlight and fresh air to enjoy a topless ride. Buh-bye sunburns! You can view our entire inventory of sun shades here!
- Offroad Elements OptiX Fog Lights: These LED fog lights produce the perfect amount of light, making driving safer and brighter and providing your Jeep (and Jeeper) with a clean upgrade.
- Rigid Industries Dually Light Pods and Mounts: These pod lights and mounts provide nighttime trail rights and unlit roadways with ample light to get from A to B easily and in style.
- Rockridge 4WD Flush LED Tail Lights: These are one of our favorite upgrades for JKs. Get rid of your rectangular, clunky tail lights and upgrade to these flush mounted round LED tail lights for a clean, simple style. You can view their clear lens tail lights here!
- Poison Spyder Hood Louver: Provide your Jeep with ample cool air for a proper running engine and one hell of a bad ass look with a hood louver. You can view our inventory of hoods, louvers and accessories here.
- Smittybilt Oversized Tire Carrier: Once you upgrade to larger tires, you risk bending or damaging your tailgate if running the factory spare tire carrier. This carrier can accommodate up to a 37" tire with ease.
- Tuffy Conceal Carry Under Seat Lock Box: Keep your possessions locked and out of site when riding doorless with this handy lockable box. It mounts underneath the JK driver seat and doesn't require any drilling or modifications.
- Lange Originals Door Hanger and Freedom Panel Holder: Where do you put your doors and freedom panels when you take them off? On the floor? On a spare bed? In the guest room? Not anymore with this mount!
Gifts $200+:
- ACE Engineering Inner Fender Kit: This is by far, a simple yet stunning upgrade. We've added these inner fenders to one of our shop Jeeps and can say, with confidence, they look amazing and hold up phenomenally while on the trails.
- Bartact Front Seat Covers: Seat covers are a must for Jeeps! Keeps your factory seats in pristine condition while allowing you to add a little personal flair and style to your Jeep. You can view our entire inventory of seat covers here!
- Crawler Conceptz Front Skinny Series Bumper with Bar and Tabs: Because who wouldn't want a new bumper for the holidays? This bumper, along with many others, ships bare for painting or powder coating of your choice.
- DV8 Offroad FS-1 Front Bumper: Again...holidays? Bumpers! This full width front bumper would be a perfect addition to your Jeep or to your loved ones Jeep as well.
- Lifetime LED 4 Lens Headlights: Headlights are a super easy gift to give....the Jeeps factory ones don't give off enough light for safe driving. Pluuuuussss, these bad boys come with a LIFETIME WARRANTY! How is that not a win-win buy?
- Smittybilt XRC Fender Flare Kit: These fenders are the perfect upgrade for you or your Jeeper who is looking for a narrow width, steel and powder coated replacement for the factory fender flares,
- Smittybilt COMPAIR Compact Air System: Ok so you've got the tire deflators already and you've aired down to the desired PSI for the trails or the beach...what about when you need to air back up? This air tank will inflate your tires quickly and efficiently!
- JW Speaker J Series LED Tail Lights: These tail lights are the perfect addition to your Jeep or your loved ones Jeep and won't break the bank!
