Jeep Releases Concepts for Easter Jeep Safari

News, Vehicles

Once again coinciding with Easter Jeep Safari, Jeep has turned its concept vehicles loose on the Red Rock 4-Wheeler event. In all, seven concepts took to the Moab trails demonstrating their off road capabilities and unique designs.

The chopped look says it all. Great look for a vehicle that’s at home with open wheels.


Hmmm, clear doors on a Sahara. Down here in South Florida can we get that with a portable pressure washer for the ever present mud? The flipped rear door hinges are a nice touch.
