Jeep will bring seven concepts to the 50th Easter Jeep Safari, an annual event held in Moab, Utah.
As you already know, the American brand will showcase a 707-HP version of the Wrangler, which is called the Trailcat, but this model is not the only unconventional concept from Jeep.

The Mecca of off-road enthusiasts in the USA will also see a Comanche pickup concept based on the Renegade. The paint of this car is called “Beige Against the Machine.”

Another one-off Jeep that will be shown at the special event that also marks the brand’s 75th Anniversary will be the Crew Chief 715. This exhibit is one of the two concepts teased by the American brand a few days ago, and is an homage to the original Jeep military vehicles.

It has front and rear bumpers made of steel, something that would be impossible for a modern production car that has to comply with current pedestrian safety regulations.

Another homage to a classic Jeep is the Shortcut concept, and that honors the Jeep CJ-5. It has a 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 engine and comes with 17-inch steel wheels finished in red and fitted with 35-inch BF Goodrich Mud-Terrain T/A KM2 tires.

Another Wrangler-based concept is the Trailstorm, which has 17-inch concept off-road wheels with 37-inch tires. It also comes with a 2-inch lift kit, Dana 44 front and rear axles, and Mopar exterior enhancements.

The least outlandish concept from Jeep at this year’s Moab event is the Renegade Commander. This has a “fluorescent gray” color, custom body decals, a Mopar trailer hitch, front and rear auxiliary lights, and the MySky open-air roof with removable panels.

Some of the parts that are shown on these concepts are available to enthusiasts as after-market components from Jeep Performance and Mopar. Naturally, it would be extremely expensive to build your own Trailcat or Crew Chief, but not impossible.
