Introducing the all-new 2019 Jeep Wrangler

The all-new 2019 Jeep Wrangler is the perfect SUV-crossover for daily commuters and off-roaders. Voted 2019 MotorTrend SUV of the Year, this American classic also has plenty of modern upgrades.
While the look of the Wrangler has remained relatively unchanged, there have been a few changes to the styling. The Jeep badge has been moved from the grill to the front fenders, the turn lights are now high-powered LED, and the taillights are now square for a more fashionable look.
The interior of the 2019 Wrangler features modern details like the Uconnect infotainment system, with either 7.0 or 8.4-inch touchscreens available. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are both supported. Other options include navigation and a nine-speaker Alpine audio system.
Trim Packages for the 2019 Jeep Wrangler
There are so many different trims, colors, and features to choose from that you’re sure to find a Wrangler that suits your taste. All of these options make for a fantastic vehicle whether you’re a rugged outdoors man or not.
Sport
The most affordable trim package for the 2019 Jeep Wrangler, the Sport package comes with Jeep standards–3.6L V6 Engine, the renowned Command-Trac 4×4 System for impressive handling in all conditions, and an zipperless soft top for easily converting your Wrangler into an open ride.
Sport S
The 2019 Jeep Wrangler Sport S replaces the soft top for a three-piece black modular hardtop. This cover easily folds up for storing in the vehicle when you want an open ride. The Sport S includes upgrades on the engine with direct-injection turbo, safety features like blind spot monitoring, and includes a 7-inch touchscreen radio interface.
Sahara
While the Jeep Wrangler Sport models are 2-door coupes, the Sahara adds extra passenger doors and a more roomy interior for bigger families. The Sahara is the perfect compromise between the daily commute and a sense of adventure. The Sahara’s Selec-Trac 4×4 System automatically switches to four-wheel drive when conditions call for it. Other upgrades include the larger 8.4-inch touchscreen display and a one-touch power top for opening the roof in seconds.
Rubicon

The last thing you want is to be stranded by the side of the road, especially during winter time. Creating your own emergency kit for your vehicle can be a life saver in the event that your car breaks down or you get in an accident and get stranded. In the unfortunate event that you do experience a collision, don’t hesitate to give our body shop a call (989-922-7270) so we can get your vehicle back on the road.
Here’s a handy list of items to put into your vehicle emergency kit:
- Ice Scraper and Snow Brush
It may go without saying but these tools are some of the most important to have in your car during hazardous winter conditions. Always clear your car of all ice and snow before you hit the road as it can obstruct your view or fly off and damage other cars and cause accidents. Wiping ice off your windshield with your wipers can tear them up and wear wipers down quicker. According to Michigan law, drivers must remove snow from their windshields, windows, taillights, rear lamps, headlamps, and license plates.
- Blankets
A warm blanket is a godsend if you end up on the side of the road, especially during night or winter. The cold will seep into your car fast, and you may not be able to rely on the car’s heater for long depending on how full your tank is.
- Hats and Gloves
Even if you can normally get by without a hat or gloves it’s a good idea to keep these items in your car in case of an emergency. Whether you or a passenger finds yourself in need of these accessories during a crisis, it’s the first step in preventing frostbite.
- First Aid Kit
It’s a good idea to have a first aid kit in your car all year around. But it’s even more important in the winter when road conditions are poor and emergency response times are longer. Even a simple kit with bandages and medical wrap is better than being unprepared.
- Shovel
A small or collapsible shovel should be stored in your car during the winter months. This is perfect for the times when you have to dig yourself out of a parking spot or get stuck in snow.
- Road Flares
Visibility can be almost non-existent during snowstorms. It’s a good idea to keep road flares or reflectors handy in case emergency vehicles need to find you and your vehicle.
- Jumper Cables
Frigid weather can be hard on car batteries, so having jumper cables in your car could save you if the battery shorts out.
- Flashlight
No one wants to be stranded in the winter AND in the dark. Keeping a flashlight handy will help in case you need to change a tire, check under the hood or around the car after nightfall.
- Cell Phone Charger
Having your phone charged before hitting the road is important, especially when the weather is precarious. But it’s always good to have a charger in the car so you can reach out to emergency services if needed.
- Water and Non-perishable Snacks
You never know how long it will take for emergency services to arrive. It’s always handy to have some bottled water and granola bars or other non-perishable snacks in the car. You don’t want you or your kids to be “hangry” during a stressful situation.
- Tire Pressure Gauge
In the case you do need to change a tire, it’s a safe idea to check your spare tire pressure before you try to drive on it. Gauges are also handy in the wintertime when the cold air changes tire pressure and you need to check to see if your tires are in a safe, drivable condition.
- Umbrella
You’d be surprised how few people keep an umbrella in their vehicle at all times. While rain isn’t necessarily an emergency, it makes sense to keep prepared with an available umbrella.
- Travel Map
Even though our phones are always equipped with GPS, cell phone batteries die. Traditional paper maps will never let you down.
Protecting Your Vehicle from Michigan Winter Wear
Michigan’s winter may be in full force, but it’s not too late to protect your car from the typical vehicle wear this season brings.
Where Does Winter Wear on Your Vehicle?
Exterior & Undercarriage
With more than a million tons of road salt used in Michigan annually, it’s important to know what damages it can cause to your car. The salt used to de-ice roads can actually strip your paint off. To prevent the paint from corroding, chipping, or bubbling–be sure to regularly wash your car throughout the winter, especially after a major snow or ice storm.
It’s important that the undercarriage of your car get washed as well. This part of the vehicle typically receives the most salt. While you don’t have to worry about paint on your undercarriage, rust is an even bigger concern. Your frame, muffler, and other undercarriage parts can erode and break apart without proper sealing. Applying wax throughout the season will also give your car an extra layer of protection. Apply a fresh dose of wax every three months.
Wheels & Tires
Road salt not only damages the paint on your car, but it can erode your wheels as well. Cleaning and waxing your wheels regularly will keep them in better condition.
Road salt isn’t the only problem when it comes to wheels and tires. There are many obstacles throughout the winter such as snow banks and potholes that can misalign your tires. It’s essential to make sure that your tires are aligned to reduce improper wear on your tires.
Lower temperatures during the season can cause air pressure to drop within your tires. This can lower fuel efficiency and wear your tires down faster. Be sure to check your tire pressure once per month, but more often if there are large fluctuations in temperature.
Windshield & Wipers
Choosing a windshield washer fluid that is mean for winter temperatures means that you won’t have to worry about the fluid freezing when you need it most. Quality wipers are also an important part of keeping your windshield clean and free of debris, and keeping your visibility at its highest. Poor wiper blades can cause streaking which can making driving in the winter very dangerous. Wiper blades should be replaced every 6 months to a year. If you notice a difference in visibility, it’s time to change yours out.
Interior Protection
Investing in a set of rubber mats will help protect the carpet in your car from mud, snow, and salt. Not only will mats protect the interior of your car from water damage, but it will prevent any foul odors from arising from wet, musty carpeting.
Additional Tips for Avoiding Vehicle Wear
- Avoid driving over deep snow banks that can pack snow into your undercarriage.
- Avoid driving through puddles of standing water where salt tends to accumulate.
- Consider adding an undercarriage wash to your regular car wash during winter months.
- Thoroughly scrape all the ice off your windshield before you use your windshield wipers to reduce wiper wear.
