The intelligent cooling system offers a wide range of temps—from deep-freeze to standard refrigeration—while eco and max modes balance efficiency and cooling speed.

Quiet operation (under 45 dB) and a built-in battery protection system ensure it won’t disturb the campsite or drain a starter battery. With the included cables and sturdy handles, it brings true convenience to any trip.

If your DIYer treats their Jeep like a member of the family, this Bestop all-weather cover will be a hit. It’s made from durable vinyl with a soft inner lining to protect body panels, windshields, and interior surfaces from harsh sun, dust, and rain.

Adjustable straps, door opening protection flaps, and an included storage sack make it great for daily use or long-term parking. Designed specifically for Jeep fitments, it stays secure without the hassle or sloppiness of a one-size-fits-all tarp.

Coverlay Molded Dash Cover Overlay

Cracked or faded dashboards are common in older trucks and SUVs, and this molded ABS dash cover from Coverlay offers an easy and good-looking fix. It installs directly over the existing dash and is vacuum-molded for a precise fit.
