It’s nearly time for Jeep’s annual Easter Safari in Moab, Utah, and that means we’ve been graced with some seriously cool concept vehicles. Jeep has whetted its enthusiasts’ appetites with a few concept vehicles to celebrate the Easter Safari, and each sports unique capability and designs to take Moab’s trails by storm.
Safari
The Wrangler-based Jeep Safari concept is all about catering to backseat passengers while exploring the unbeaten path. Jeep outfitted the Safari concept with a translucent hard-top roof panel to ensure the best views for those sitting behind the driver. The doors, which Jeep calls “windoors”, are hinged to allow easy access into the vehicle and even feature a zipper opening to let the great outdoors in.
There’s also an aluminum cargo rack (with a drone to boot!), boatsided rocker panels, and custom head and tail lamps to complete concept’s overall design.
The Safari concept won’t be giving passengers much of a view if it’s not capable. Thankfully, it should do just fine. A Dana 44 axle, equipped with selectable differential lockers sits under the Safari's skin, while the body rides atop 35-inch BFGoodrich mud-terrain KM2 tires. Power comes from the tried and true 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 engine, while Jeep selected a five-speed automatic transmission to distribute the power.
