Jeep Wrangler Roof Racks

Jeep Wrangler Roof Racks 

 

Jeep wranglers are not only known for their reliability but are often regarded as the most ‘dependable’ sports utility vehicles on the market. They have a range of features to guarantee their owners a reliable ride to anywhere they want to go. In addition, they can also easily handle a wide range of “add-ons”  or modifications.  Perhaps the most popular of these is the addition of a roof rack on one’s Jeep Wrangler. No matter which make or model of Wrangler you own, a Jeep roof rack will work with almost any Jeep.   

 Designed with adventure in mind, Jeeps are by far the most popular off-roading vehicles. Due to the Jeep's lack of interior space, almost every Jeep owner can benefit from the addition of a roof rack. Roof Racks can be used to transport everything from kayaks and canoes, but can also provide a large area for tents, camping items and just about anything else one can think of for a fun journey or trip.   There an extensive range of roof rack models to choose from, each catered for a specific purpose and function. Overall, utilizing the top of the jeep for storage and transporting items can really open up how you use your Jeep for your own personal adventures.

Why Jeeps may be the perfect COVID-19 escape vehicle

Like countless other sectors, the auto industry has felt the COVID-19 pain, both from the consumer demand side in terms of purchasing behavior, but also from the manufacturing side - which particularly came to a standstill during the peak of the epidemic. 

However, according to the YouGov Brand Index, which tracks thousands of brands every day, it seems that that one brand that has displayed an opposite trend in consumer behavior is, that’s right you guessed it, the JEEP!

Right now, just over 16 percent of US adults say that when they are in the market to purchase a car or truck, they would consider buying a Jeep. This figure, however, has now increased by 6.5 percent in recent months. So the real question is, why? 

It may be too early to tell, but there are a number of factors at play that may account for this slight surge in demand. Whether it's their adventurous nature, their reliability, or their beloved vehicle status across America, it seems the Jeep has a timeless appeal, even in moments of uncertainty. Here at Bulldawg, we could hazard a few guesses as to why...

Jeep: A brief history of this great vehicle

With World War II on the horizon the US military needed a new all terrain vehicle that would allow combat units to operate off-road, in differing climates and soil conditions. In 1939 the Army invited 135 different car companies to compete for a contract to build a new vehicle for the military. The vehicle had to meet certain specs, such as a payload capacity of 600lbs, a wheelbase fewer than 75 inches, a fold-down windshield, a gross vehicle weight of fewer than 1200lbs, and it must be four-wheel drive. Only three companies responded Bantam, Willy-Overland, and Ford.

Bantam enlisted the help of Karl Probst, and in 1940 was the first to produce a working prototype for the military, He called it the Bantam Blitzbuggy and “Old Number One”. Willy’s-Overland and Ford followed with their own prototypes, the Willys Quad and the Ford Pygmy. These were basically copies of the Bantam car. Willys eventually won the contract because of their 60hp “Go-Devil” engine. Because of the large demand created by WWII Ford was given a contract. Willys later renamed their jeeps the MA and the MB, while Ford called theirs the GP and GPW.
