2020 Jeep Wrangler JPP 20
The Jeep Wrangler is easily one of the most popular new vehicles for aftermarket accessorizing; Jeep says that more than 90 percent of Wrangler owners buy at least one accessory for their vehicle. Naturally, Jeep’s parent company Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) recognizes this thriving market, and offers a broad array of more than 200 official factory-engineered parts and accessories through its Mopar parts division and the Jeep Performance Parts (JPP) brand.
