Have you been putting off much-needed (and wanted) upgrades to your Jeep for too long? Make this the year you finally transform your Jeep into the off-roading vehicle of your dreams. From installing a new windshield frame to investing in a sweet new lift kit, here are the best upgrades to make to your Jeep for spring 2022.
Off-Roading Essentials
When it comes to getting upgrades for your new Jeep, you can do primarily aesthetic upgrades or you can do functional upgrades. Most people like to do a little of both.
When it comes to getting the best off-roading performance, here are some of the essential upgrades you should make right away:
- Winch
- Off-road tires
- Tow joints
- Recovery strap
- Rocker protection (such as rock sliders)
- Differential lockers
Some of these upgrades (such as differential lockers and rocker protection) can really come in handy if you’re into rock crawling. They’ll give you the traction you need to get through tricky areas and will help protect the rocker area of your Jeep from damage.
New Windshield Frames
Another important upgrade to consider for your Jeep this spring is a new windshield frame. If you own an older Jeep, take a look at your windshield frame. Does it look a little worse for wear? If so, you’ll want to upgrade before you engage in any intense off-roading conditions. A CJ7 windshield frame is a good option because it is durable and affixes securely to your glass to keep it in place. It also offers great visibility.
Bumpers
There are other CJ5 Jeep parts you can invest in to make your Jeep even better than it already is. One upgrade you’ll want to invest in is a bumper. Jeep bumpers help to protect your prized possession from damage. The right type of bumper can also help make your off-roading adventures even more enjoyable. Look for full-width aftermarket bumpers for both the front and back of your Jeep to give yourself optimal protection.
The nice thing about upgrading your bumpers is that they also serve an aesthetic purpose. So be sure to find bumpers that accentuate your preferred style and make your Jeep look like a force to be reckoned with.
Other Jeep Accessories
Other Jeep Wrangler JL accessories to consider include:

- Doors

Adding lighting to your Jeep is not only an effective way to make sure you can see well if you’re ever caught in low-light conditions on a rocky trail, but it can also make your Jeep stand out and demand attention.
Likewise, side steps help to improve the appearance of your Jeep while making it easier for you to get in and out of it. The other upgrades listed above also help to improve the appearance or function of your Jeep.
There are so many great ways to make your Jeep a more enjoyable vehicle to drive. If you’ve been looking for the perfect upgrades to make to your Jeep this spring, consider some or all of the upgrades listed above.
