2010 Easter Jeep Safari Mopar Concepts – Click any image to enlarge
\n<\/small><\/strong><\/em><\/div>\n

\nChrysler’s<\/a> engineers have been busy lately. Mark Allen, head of the Jeep design studio, has introduced a total of eight new concept vehicles at this year’s Easter Jeep Safari. Each one has been worked up by the company’s off-road engineering team, and while most are nothing more than pure fantasy, at least a few can be crafted out of parts available from the Mopar go-fast catalog. Even better, all have the off road guts to go anywhere you please.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>That includes the Jeep Wrangler J7<\/a>. Consider this the stripped-down beast we would build if Chrysler<\/a> gave us the keys to the kingdom for a week. Fluffy stuff like carpet, the stereo and alloy wheels have been ditched in favor of more utilitarian goods. New all-steel bumpers, complete with helicopter hooks, join a sturdy rear gate and steel wheels wrapped in 35-inch rubber. A small 2-inch lift helps accommodate the larger rollers, and the eye-searing Mustard Plug paint sets the truck apart from the crowd. While we have no problem with the 3.8-liter V6, we would probably swap the four-speed automatic gear box for a row-your-own. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Speaking of rowing your own, the Jeep Patriot Extreme<\/a> is more than happy to accommodate third-pedal lovers everywhere. While Wrangler guys may be quick to rag on the baby Jeep, this Patriot is more than capable of dispatching rough terrain. A two-inch suspension lift gives the trail-rated package just a little more clearance, and custom rock rails protect the bodywork from getting too close to the trail. We’re also digging those 16-inch TJ Moab wheels, extra lighting on the bumper and roof rack for… snowboards?<\/p>\n

\"\"Chrysler<\/a> says it turned out the Wrangler Trail Boss<\/a> (right) just to show off all of the products available from the Jeep trail catalog. The truck’s specs read like a recipe for a Wrangler wish list. Outside, the most noticeable difference between the Trail Boss and a standard Wrangler is the addition of new AEV off-road bumpers, complete with a Warn 9.5ti winch, though the half-doors and sun bonnet do much to alter the truck’s attitude, too. A 3-inch lift kit allows for healthy 35-inch rubber down below, wrapped around those slick Hutchinson Rock Monster beadlock wheels.
