Ten Popular Jeep Grand Cherokee Accessories

Now that you are the proud owner of a Jeep Grand Cherokee, the only way to make this car cooler is to outfit it with some fun and practical accessories.

Many of these, among the most popular current accessories for Jeep Grand Cherokee, actually protect the interior and exterior of your vehicle.

Although you can easily order these online, it’s always a good idea to stop by your area’s Jeep dealerships to see what some of these options actually look like, once installed.

While there are countless accessories and customization options when it comes to Jeeps, and Jeep Grand Cherokees, specifically, here is a list of the ten most popular right now.

Interior Accessories

When it comes to spicing up and protecting your Jeep Grand Cherokee, you might consider starting with the interior.

After all, you’ll spend more time appreciating the inside than the outside, and you might as well enhance your already-awesome driving experience as much as possible.

Slush mats

Generally people seem to think of slush mats only as a winter weather accessory, ideal for keeping your Cherokee’s carpet clear of snow. But, if you really think about it, slush mats are perfect all-season accessories. Spring time generally brings rain, which creates muddy conditions that I assume you would rather leave outside your car, or at least away from the carpet.

Beach trips bring sandy feet, which is always tough to suck up from carpets, no matter how great that Dyson vacuum claims to be.

Plus, spills are just a year-round delight, aren’t they. Auto part manufacturers might do well to consider re-packaging slush mats and spill guards. Invest in this accessory to protect the condition and extend the life of your carpet.

Made by Mopar and sold as aset, the slush mats (spill guards) come with two front and one rear mat, sporting a Jeep logo between the two rear floors. Available in either Dark Khaki or Dark Slate Gray, pricing for these slush mats starts at $87.99.

When you consider all the outdoor activities, sports practices, games, and on-the-go eating your family does, this is a very small price to pay to protect your investment.

Floor Mats

If your lifestyle doesn’t call for the added protection of the slush mats, check out Mopar floor mats with the Jeep logo, priced at $104.99.

These carpet floor mats, in black or light frost beige, are color-matched to your car’s interior and sold in a set of two front and two rear mats. Thanks to their rubber backing, these mats stay put and won’t slip around when passengers are getting into and out of the vehicle.

A grommet hole on the driver’s side mat further secures the mat to the floor, so that you can operate the pedals without interference.

Cargo Tray

Another investment for your car’s interior is a Weathertech cargo tray.

Made from skid-resistant rubber, the cargo tray keeps your belongings from groceries to sports equipment from sliding around.

If you have pets, a cargo tray is just the thing to collect the dirt and keep it from possibly staining your Cherokee’s interior.

Although the cargo tray is custom molded to fit your Cherokee’s cargo space, it is easy to install and later remove for quick and convenient cleaning. Think of how much easier it is to hose down dog hair off a rubber surface, compared to vacuuming it. You never get it all up, it’s like trying to put toothpaste back in the tube after it’s spilling over your toothbrush.

One of the longest-running accessories, owing to its popularity, the cargo trays are available for Cherokee models from 2001 to the current 2015 model year. Available colors include: black featuring the Jeep logo, dark khaki with the Jeep logo, light graystone, slate gray, or dark slate gray. Prices vary according to color and model year, but range between $90.99 – $103.99

Again, a small price to pay for your Cherokee’s interior integrity.

Pet Barrier

As much as we all love our pets, it’s not safe to let them have free reign of the rear cabin while we are behind the wheel. With a Weathertech pet barrier, you can keep your pet safe and sound in the Cherokee’s cargo space.

Easy to adjust and expand, the Weathertech pet barrier is made of durable material crafted into 5/8? diameter telescopic tubing, easy and convenient to install , without the need for tools.

The Jeep pet gate is secured by rubber coated components to prevent any rattling and protect the Cherokee’s interior.

For only $84.99, this is a smart accessory for pet-loving Cherokee drivers.

Exterior Accessories

We all know true beauty comes from the inside, but still, you want to make an impression when you reach your destination, where it might be, and you want that impression to be a stunner.

Plenty of exterior accessories are available for your Jeep Grand Cherokee, but these are a few favorites.

Splash Guards

Since you’ve shelled out some serious cash for your Cherokee’s paint job, you’ll want to protect it from dings and debris.

Invest in a set of Mopar splash guards, made from TPO plastic and TPR rubber, and sold in pairs for the front and rear wheel wells. These splash guards will protect your paint from rocks kicked up by the tires, especially during an off-roading adventures.

Easy to install and super affordable at the starting price of $39.99, save yourself from unnecessary cosmetic repairs and invest in a set of these splash guards.

Front End Covers

Between bird droppings and squished bugs, you’re windshield collects it’s fair share of sludge. Of course, you can usually stay somewhat on top of it with a quick squirt and swipe of the windshield wipers.

But think about the front of your car. If all that collects on the windshield, imagine what’s collecting on the front and hood of your car.

Keep bugs, dirt, and debris at bay, with the snug fits of this front end black vinyl cover. Its two-piece design means you can still open the hood without having to remove the cover; however, if you encounter inclement weather, make sure you remove the cover and let it dry. If you leave it on and let it dry on its own, you might end up with exterior paint discoloration underneath.

It’s really a snap!

Vent Visors

Manufactured by Weathertech and made in Germany from three-millimeter light-tinted acrylic material, these vent visors allow greater air flow and look like original equipment.

The beauty of tinted vent visors is their ability to minimize interior heat when the car is parked, and reduce wind noise when the car is in motion.

Priced at $109.99, and sold in a set of four, two for the front windows and two for the back, vent visors are easy to install and worth the investment.
