    Because of its dedicated enthusiast following, the Jeep Wrangler has more than its share of available options when it comes to customizing and accessorizing. Following is just a sampling.

    The Windjammer (figure A) blocks some of the wind-buffetting that occurs when you've got your top down or you're using a partial-coverage top such as a bikini top. Since the Windjammer, in effect, reduces the internal volume of the passenger compartment, your heater won't have to work as hard in the winter to bring the vehicle interior to a comfortable temperature. These accessories are available in various colors to match your interior, and they come with a clear center panel so that your rear vision isn't blocked. There is also a roll-up center section at the bottom (figure B) that allows easy access to cargo stored in the rear. Snaps (figure C) allow you to attach a duster that covers the rear cargo area without having to raise the roof.


    Clear acrylic windscreens are available that serve a purpose very similar to the Windjammer. These attach to the roll-bar with VelcroB. loops.


    Since Jeeps are generally open, leaving the interior fairly accessible, a locking hood latch (figure D) will give added protection against theft or vandalism by securing the engine compartment.


    Removable sport handles (figure E) give passengers an extra place to grip and hold onto during off-road treks.


    For extra cargo storage, consider using a saddlebag that attaches to the back bars (figure F). The model shown is easily removable and has a shoulder strap so it's easy to carry with you when you leave the vehicle. Another, more secure storage option is a weatherproof rear storage-locker that mounts to the tailgate (figure G).


    A speaker pod (figure H) attaches either with straps (so it's removable) or bolts to the roll-bar. It plugs into the audio system and offers improved stereo sound without having to drill holes or permanently install extra speakers.
