Jeep represented 6 new concept-cars dated to annual Easter Jeep Safari, which will be held soon in Utah, USA. In the development of these cars the Mopar Company, which produces accessories for Jeep, as the source of new ideas.
The civilian vehicles are represented only by a single concept - Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk Concept. This city vehicle is equipped with 18 inch rims and off-road tires Goodyear Wrangler SilentArmor, protective threshold from Mopar, but other changes have only decorative role. However, it's expected that the opportunities of this civilcity Grand Cherokee will be just enough (considering that it has all-wheel drive Quadra-Rive II, rear differential ELSD, pneumatic suspension Quadra-Lift, traction control system Select-Terrain and the pack of off-road options Off-Road Adventure).
The second concept is about to become a favorite one among people and get an audience award. Jeep Wrangler Apache from Mopar got 6,4-litres v8 HEMI engine (476 hp and 637 N*m) (this kind of swap may get any customer of Mopar and Wrangler owner). The torque is passed to the wheels through 5-speed automatic transmission W5A580 or with basic 6-speed manual transmission. Among other mods - the drive-shaft Mopar Pro 60 5.13, 4,5 inch lift, beadlock rims, protecting thresholds, tuned doors, front bumper Stinger, winch Warn 9.5ti XP, leather seats Katzkin.
Jeep Mighty FC Concept seems to remind of Jeep Forward Control, which was producing since 1956 and closed in 1965. Wrangler Rubicon was taken as the basis of FC Concept - cabin was moved behind the front axle, the wheelbase was increased and special body was installed. The roof of the cabin was taken from Mopar JK-8 conversion kit and the front view of the vehicle was created from the scratch. The off-road skills were upgraded with the help of special shafts from Mopar ($11,000 each), King shocks, Hanson bumpers and Warn winch.
Jeep J-12 Concept is kind of reconfigured and redesigned Jeep Wrangler with the help of JK-8 pickup conversion kit. Wrangler Unlimited served as the basic model with 18inch higher frame. The body was also changed because of the big wheels Jeep Gladiator which should provide excellent passability. Pneumatic LSD ARB, Teraflex stabilizers and Dynatrac shafts D0-44 and D-60 were also installed.
Mopar Accessorized Jeep Wrangler - there's no much to say about this example. This is usual Wrangler with additional accessories from Mopar.
However Jeep Wrangler Traildozer Concept is much more interesting - it was created and built in association with the American Expedition Vehicles on the basis of Jeep Wrangler Rubicon, it uses HEMI v8 engine with 6-speed manual transmission Getrag 238. As many of its fellows Traildozer got shafts Dana 44, 37inch tires Micky Thompson Baja Claw and 3,5inch lift AEV Dualsport RS.
