The Jeep Jeepster Concept Puts Modern Off-Road Tech Under 1960s Style
The Jeep Jeepster Concept Puts Modern Off-Road Tech Under 1960s Style-July 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:13:11

The Jeepster concept we’ll meet at the 2018 Easter Jeep Safari in Moab, Utah next week takes a new and loads it up with OEM off-road upgrade parts. But the coolest part is the raked windshield and roof, which look straight off the ’66 Jeepster.

Easter Jeep Safari is the annual off-road social hour (week) in which thousands of Jeep fans descend upon Moab, Utah to check out each other’s rigs and drive the region’s breathtaking trails.

Jeep itself is a big part of the event, and always brings a batch of one-off customized old and new Jeeps to entertain us with. Sometimes, just sometimes, parts and design cues we see here trickle down to production.

As for this Jeepster specifically, that hardtop is chopped by two inches over a standard Wrangler roof and the fold-down windshield is raked 2.5 degrees to make it look sleeker.

The hood, 2-inch lift, beadlock-capable wheels, black fuel door, grab handles and floor mats (woo!) are actual Jeep products you can order at the dealer. That means you could fit 37-inch BF Goodrich KO2 tires to your Wrangler pretty easily with that suspension kit.

The spare tire has been re-arranged to be mounted in the cabin to make room for some “concept storage packs” which I think we might see for sale at Jeep stores sometime too.

We’ll get to see this vehicle in action in Moab in a few days.

Forget A 240SX, This Is The Cheap Drift Car You Want
Forget A 240SX, This Is The Cheap Drift Car You Want
Old Nissan 240SXs are considered prime candidates for turning into drift cars because they’re rear-wheel drive, everywhere, and easy to work on. But the downside to being popular for drift duty is that, well, a lot are getting wrecked and prices are going up. Lucky for you, there’s a workaround....

The 2018 Lincoln Navigator Is A 450 Horsepower Fancy Freight Train
Behind the 2018 ’s gleaming new whale shark maw is a twin-turbo 450 horsepower V6 and a 10-speed automatic transmission. You know what else has those specs? The off-road warrior. But that’s not the coolest part, get a load of the seats in this thing. Forget the sweet second-row center...

The Hellcat-Powered 2018 Jeep Trackhawk Is Quicker 0-60 Than The Alfa Giulia
The Hellcat-Powered 2018 Jeep Trackhawk Is Quicker 0-60 Than The Alfa Giulia
The supercharged 6.2-liter “Hellcat-powered” almost looks low key parked near the hyperbolic hype machine, but the performance claims are nothing short of outrageous. Especially when you remember we’re talking about a 5,363-pound SUV. According to Jeep’s , the Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk (which is not officially designated “Jeep Hellcat”) generates...

I Wouldn't Own A Toyota FT-4X But I Totally Would Loot The Shit Out Of One
Here it is, officially, the . And yes, it was conceived after some Toyota people got together with some “outdoorsy millennials in the Bay Area” (actual quote). But bad #brand aspirations aside, the concept is actually pretty cool. No, I wouldn’t own it. But I would loot the shit out...

Chevy Picked The Wrong Time To Drop A Mild Performance SUV
Chevy Picked The Wrong Time To Drop A Mild Performance SUV
The Chevy Tahoe RST has GM’s excellent enormous V8, Brembo brakes, Magnetic Ride and a dechrome treatment. Sounds like a solid SUV with just enough athletic pretenses to be entertaining. It’s just a little hard to see through all that tire smoke the Jeep Trackhawk’s making. Chevy never claimed that...
