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.

I Really Hope The 2015 Infiniti QX80 Is Going To Look Less Offensive
Nissan is promising a new face and fancier trim for their new flagship fatass SUV, the 2015 Infiniti QX80. The current QX has been one of my favorite designs to hate since it was introduced in 2011, so I'm actually pretty excited it's finally going under the knife. The QX...

This Is How A Pickup Truck Pretends To Be A Horribly 80's Sports Car
A reader spotted this perversion of what I think was once a Jeep Comanche, which now looks like some weird blend of overwrought retro sportiness sitting on a set of American Racing wheels. With sculpted slopes all over the place and intakes for days this has got to be one...
