One of the best parts about owning a Jeep is winter exploring. You’re unhindered by the weather, and able to explore and enjoy what most vehicles can’t. With the right accessories and preparation, Jeep owners are ready to tackle winter offroading conditions with ease, and part of this is being prepared for the worst so you can adventure without fear. Being a Jeep owner means you’ve unlocked a whole additional season for outdoor exploring and adventuring - here are some of our top Jeep Wrangler winter driving essentials to stay warm and safe on your adventures.
When you’re planning a winter calendar full of fun adventures - don’t forget about having the proper tires! Using all-weather tires year-round or installing winter tires when it starts to get cold is the first step to make sure you can tackle snowy roads and icy trails with confidence, keeping your Jeep and everyone in it safe while you focus on enjoying the ride.

If you’re planning on traversing on dark, snowy winter days, fog lights are a must for ensuring visibility and safety. They cut under the snow and fog, reducing glare and the “white wall” effect and making it easier to see the actual trail in front of you. Fog lights are optimized for slow driving, making them ideal for crawling through snow, navigating unplowed roads, and descending icy hills.

If you’re going on a snowy adventure, it’s almost impossible to not bring some of that snow back into the car with you! One of the easiest ways to take care of your Jeep’s interior in the winter is to throw on a set of waterproof seat covers. They keep snow, slush, and spills from soaking into your seats, and they’re a breeze to wipe down, so you’re never stuck with a cold, soggy seat the next time you hop in.

A cozy Jeep beanie is the perfect way to keep warm on the trail while also representing the Jeep spirit! Bundling up is always a must on the trails, and a fun beanie that doubles as a conversation starter is the perfect way to do it.
If you’re out on the trails or roads for hours at a time in the winter, you know the struggle of finding your piping hot coffee lukewarm after only a short while. A heated travel mug is one of our favorite little luxuries on an adventure. Whether your beverage of choice is coffee, tea, or hot chocolate with whipped cream, using a heated travel mug will ensure it stays warm and cozy for hours.
If you’re looking for next-level warmth on snowy, brisk days, heated gloves are an absolute game changer. Heated gloves are rechargeable and long-lasting, and will change the way you see cold days. They let you shovel snow, snap the perfect winter Jeep photo, or toss a snowball without numb fingers.
