ARIES (2808509): StyleGuard XD Floor Liners for 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL

StyleGuard XD floor liners from ARIES aren’t your run-of-the-mill mats. Laser-measured and boasting a multifunctional three-layer construction, these tough-but-sleek StyleGuard XD floor liners give your Jeep Wrangler JL the first-rate interior protection it deserves.

The first layer—the base layer—is covered with OmniGrip fibers: wire-like threads that lock the liners in place on virtually any kind of carpet. Unlike plastic “nubs,” these bristles offer literally thousands of anchor points to prevent sliding around.

The second is a generous layer of cross-linked polyethylene foam that provides a comfortable stepping surface, absorbs and reduces engine and road noise, and provides two-way temperature insulation.

The third and top layer is composed of thermoplastic rubber (TPR), which is wear resistant and waterproof. It resists the wear of foot traffic, provides welcome traction, and delivers elevated interior style. Also at the top level are raised edges and smartly engineered channels that contain spills and debris.

To install StyleGuard XD floor liners, just drop them in: they are designed to conform to the shape of your floor. Plus, when it’s time to clean, just hose them off and let them air dry. 2808509 is a complete kit that includes front and rear liners. Other applications available.

Features

  • Durable three-layer construction for ultimate interior protection.
  • Thousands of patented OmniGrip fibers prevent movement on carpet.
  • Channeled surface and raised edges contain liquids and debris.
  • Cross-linked polyethylene foam adds comfort and helps limit road noise.
  • Laser-measured design for perfect, vehicle-specific contour.
  • Flexible, waterproof TPR top layer will not become brittle over time.
  • Lightweight construction for simple, drop-in installation and easy removal.
  • Fire-retardant according to FMVSS 302 testing.
  • Offered in complete kits or individually for the first or second row.
  • Warranty: limited lifetime.

ARIES (1053): Grille Guard for Jeep Wrangler JL

John Arnaud Leave a comment

ARIES grille guards take your custom Jeep Wrangler JL to the next level, whether you’re challenging the off-road trail, lighting up the town, or just getting the job done. ARIES grille guards offer an aggressive aftermarket look, extra front-end protection, and plenty of customization opportunities—along with two finish options, a vehicle-specific design, and a no-drill installation.

The wraparound brush guard, wire headlight cages, horizontal crossbars, and rubber-coated vertical risers all work together to not only enhance front-end protection but also to promote an aggressive, customized feel. 1-1/2” heavy-wall tubes are welded together to the vertical risers, creating a one-piece frame for maximum strength and rigidity. The 1053 grille enjoys a smooth black powdercoat, but a polished stainless steel version is also available.

ARIES has also made it easy for you to make these grille guards your own. A customizable center crossbar lets you add LED lights, while the wire headlight cages protect headlights from brush and debris. The cages can be removed if you want a sleeker aftermarket look.

These vehicle-specific grille guards are built just for your new Wrangler JL and come with mounting brackets that bolt on to your rig’s frame using existing mounting points.

Note: Grille guard may interfere with forward-facing cameras/sensors.

Features

  • One-piece, 1.5” diameter, heavy-wall tubing in high-strength carbon steel.
  • Durable semi-gloss black powdercoat.
  • Two predrilled holes in the crossbar for mounting LED light bars or work lights (lights not included).
  • Removable headlight cages for extra protection and a customizable look.
  • Vertical rubber stripping along the risers help maintain a clean finish.
  • Installation: no-drill, vehicle-specific for a custom fit.
  • Warranty: limited lifetime (3-year finish, 1-year parts).
