Jeeps deliver exceptional power and handling on highways and rough trails alike. You can enhance your model's performance even further with genuine Jeep accessories. 1. Cold Air Intake This part improves performance by pulling cool air into your vehicle's engine and combustion chamber. Because cold air has a higher oxygen density than warm air, it increases both power and efficiency. You can add a cold air intake to your Jeep Grand Cherokee, Gladiator, or Wrangler, including parts that come with the Jeep logo and reusable black filters. Don't forget to include a cold air intake filter to maintain your vehicle's enhanced performance. 2. Lift Kits Gain extra ground clearance to protect your Jeep on rocky roads. The lift kit also optimizes suspension in conjunction with the vehicle's electronic stability control system. The Wrangler is available with a variety of lift kits including a 2" version for the current lineup with upgraded Fox aluminum-body monotube shock absorbers. You can also add a lift kit to your Jeep Gladiator. 3. Upgraded Exhaust Consider the Cat Back Exhaust System, available for 2020 to 2024 Jeep Gladiator models. This chrome-tipped exhaust system is designed for a robust sound and feel, along with improved durability. Performance exhaust improves the engine's ability to function, which in turn boosts horsepower and efficiency. 4. Performance Axles Achieve tougher off-road performance by outfitting your Jeep with a performance axle. The Dana 60 Crate Axle fits Wrangler models from 2007 to 2018 and comes with the suspension mounting brackets. You can also add the Production Rubicon Dana 44 to 2020 and 2021 Jeep Gladiators. 5. Oil Cooler If you engage in heavy towing or off-roading with your Jeep, an oil cooler can significantly extend the life of your engine and transmission. Reducing the high temperatures generated by these activities prevents your vehicle from overheating. An oil cooler upgrade is available for 2007 to 2011 Jeep Wrangler models and 2019 to 2021 Jeep Renegade models. 6. Turbochargers A turbocharger increases the amount of air that flows into your Jeep's engine, which pushes the limits for horsepower. You can add a turbocharger if you have a 2014 to 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee with a diesel powertrain, as well as for either the gas or hybrid version of the 2024 Jeep Wrangler, 2022 to 2024 models of the hybrid Grand Cherokee, and 2023 and 2024 Compass models. Whether you're rebuilding an older Jeep or customizing a brand-new model, you need the performance of these outstanding accessories. Choosing genuine Jeep parts from MOPAR ensures you get the quality you expect from the original equipment manufacturer.
