Last year’s invasion of seven Jeep concepts specifically designed for the 52nd edition of the Easter Jeep Safari is a tough act to match. Even so, the American carmaker will nevertheless try to beat its own performance and to prove it, Jeep released on Tuesday two images of the cars it will be bringing to the Moab area in Utah.
Like last year, Jeep promises to show, together with Mopar, a collection of unique off-roading machines that will storm the location. No actual details were provided about these cars,and not even how many of them will be presented. But since the event kick off at the end of next week, we expect more in the coming days.
“The Jeep and Mopar brands have created several concept vehicles for the annual Easter Jeep Safari,” says the carmaker in a brief statement.
“These images hint at two of the new concept vehicles that will head to Moab, April 13-21. Look for more information and images soon.”
Last year, the seven cars that got all the attention were called Jeepster, B-Ute, J-Wagon, 4Speed, Sandstorm, Nacho and Wagoneer Roadtrip. Five of them were based on the Wrangler model, and all were fitted with Jeep Performance and Mopar-engineered parts.
One of the most interesting of the pack was one based on the Wrangler Rubicon and called Jeepster. The machine was meant to be a revival of the original Willis-Overland.
The Moab off-roading event is now in its fifth decade. It started in 1967 when Jeep staged at the location of the so-called Safari.
At the time, the Safari consisted of a single course for off-roading fans, but over the years it grew in difficulty so much that now it presents itself as a nine-day event. The culmination of the show is the so-called Big Saturday, held on the Saturday of Easter weekend when most of those attending go at it with their cars.
