Jeep is known for encouraging its owners and drivers to get out and enjoy the outdoors no matter what the weather may hold. What other automaker would have pioneered the classic Easter Jeep Safari, which sees Jeeps from all over the country converge on the off-road trails near Moab, Utah? This year’s 2023 Safari is scheduled for April 1-9, but I digress. Just in time for spring and mud season, Jeep Performance Parts is debuting new interior upgrades for the 2023 Jeep Wrangler to protect the vehicle’s interior from heavy weather damage.
See the new interior upgrades here.
Upgrades Designed to Fit the Iconic Wrangler
The new heavy-duty floor system and vinyl seats are designed specifically to fit the iconic Jeep Wrangler. The mats provide superior interior protection. We have seen heavy duty floor mats before, but this is an entire system that covers the entire floor. Plus, JPP is adding heavy-duty vinyl seats to further protect the Jeep from mud, rain and even pets. It is almost as if JPP has designed a protective bib for your Wrangler’s interior. As shown in the video you can simply hose down the interior to clean it of dirt and grime.
“Our Jeep Performance Parts team at Mopar is consistently designing innovative features for the iconic Jeep Wrangler,” said Mark Bosanac, North America senior vice president, Mopar service, parts and customer care. “With our growing portfolio of quality-tested, factory-backed performance parts and accessories, our customers win with new options to upgrade and personalize their vehicles.”
Both of the new JPP heavy-duty accessories are available for select Jeep Wrangler four-door models. The upgrades may appear pricey, but if they keep your Wrangler interior pristine, they could be worth their weight in gold, especially when it comes time to sell or trade in the vehicle. The upgraded mats and seats will definitely prolong the life of the interior, if you plan to keep the classic vehicle forever.

JPP has provided the Mopar part numbers and the suggested retail prices. I’ve included the sales option three-digit codes, Mopar part numbers and suggested retail prices.
