Top 5 Jeep Parts to Buy in Ontario for the Winter Season
Posted on January 6, 2021
Winter is nearly upon us and here in Ontario, that means we're usually in for at least a couple of months of heavy snow and icy conditions. You'll want to be adequately prepared, especially if you just purchased a new Jeep vehicle and want to keep it looking new and accident-free by the time spring eventually rolls around. That's why we've compiled this helpful list to help you choose the best Jeep parts for the winter season. Of course, if you're in search of Jeep parts in Ontario, the place to come is straight to the parts department here at Milton Chrysler. We'll get you fully equipped and ready to take on whatever the weather decides to throw at you. Get started with our helpful list below.
1.Tow Mounts
Proper winter tires and a set of chains are a given, especially if you want to go off-roading or decide to head outback in search of the perfect Christmas tree. Tow mounts provide a reliable tow point so that you can either be towed out of or help someone get towed out of a sticky situation. A D ring shackle fits right into most receiver hitches and provides you with a solid tow mount in a matter of moments.
2.Winches
Now that you've got the tow mount, you need something to attach to it. Winches are a great method for self-recovery, choose one that is approximately 2.5 times the vehicle's weight rating. When purchasing a winch, you'll also get the entire kit so you can help get back on the road whether it's your vehicle in the ditch or someone else's you're helping.
3.All-Weather Floor Mats
Less exciting than accessories to help you when you've slid off of a snow-covered road, floor mats are no less an important part of your winter must-haves. High-quality rubber mats can be easily removed and quickly hosed down when you're dragging in slush, snow, and gravel to make cleaning up the interior a breeze.
4.Mudflaps
Just as you don't want your tires kicking up road salt and gravel onto the undercarriage of your Jeep, causing chips and corrosion, you don't want to be the person kicking that same stuff up at vehicles behind you. Mudflaps help keep things on the road from flying up at the people behind you and trust us when the weather is terrible, the last thing you want is an angry person behind you on the road.
5.Under Seat Lock Box
You probably didn't expect us to mention anything related to storage, but tis the season for many gift-giving holidays and crowded parking lots which also means a lot of prying eyes and potentially sticky fingers if you've left items in your vehicle that can be easily seen through the windows. Don't give thieves an opportunity to smash your windows by keeping everything out of sight and securely locked up in an under-seat lockbox.
