Consider a few of these items to help organize or protect your vehicle. Mac’s Tie Downs/Jeep Gladiator VersaTie Track Bed Kit Subscribe to our weekly newsletter Made for the Jeep Gladiator, these install easily into the factory-threaded inserts found on the JL. Thanks to the no-drill installation, this task requires nothing more than a #3 Phillips screwdriver. They provide adjustability via its 1-inch increments, and tie-down rings are cleaner and easier to adjust than the stock version. The kit includes three pieces of VersaTie, six Single-Stud Tie-Down Rings and stainless steel installation hardware. MSRP: $276 macscustomtiedowns.com Grey Man Tactical/Vehicle Seatback RMP Kit Keep your important gear close at hand by storing it securely on the back of your vehicle’s seats.

MSRP: Starts at $199 greymantactical.com Bilstein/B8 Upper Control Arms A perfect complement to any of Bilstein’s 5100 RHA, 6100 RHA, 6112 and 8112 suspension packages, the B8 UCAs feature 4130 chromoly tubular steel construction and are professionally MIG welded with formed steel bushing gussets for superior strength. Maintaining a full range of motion, these direct-fit upper control arms expand caster angles and improve ball joint pivot angles for more straight-line stability and greater wheel travel when the trail gets rough. MSRP: Not listed bilstein.com Timbren/Active Off-Road Bumpstops for Jeep JL Timbren’s Active Off-Road Bumpstops for 2018–2021 Jeep Gladiator JLs offer greater control over your vehicle’s suspension travel. They use progressive-rate rubber springs, which means that instead of a hard stop at the end of axle travel, the energy will be absorbed, thereby creating a smooth and predictable motion that protects your vehicle’s suspension and keeps you on the trail longer. MSRP: $530 timbren.com Go Rhino/CEROS Low Profile Roof Rack for 2016+ Toyota Tacoma Double Cab Go Rhino’s CEROS Low Profile Roof Rack brings aerodynamic, cutting-edge style to the Toyota Tacoma.

MSRP: $625 gorhino.com Maxtrax/Kinetic Recovery Ropes Maxtrax Kinetic Recovery Ropes are designed to be the kinetic element during a vehicle recovery.

MSRP: Starts at $100 maxtraxus.com Armordillo/AR2 Pre-Runner Style Modular Grille Guard This large, modular system is designed to provide robust protection for the entire front end of your vehicle while emphasizing the slightly aggressive lines of your rig.
