Its that time of year again!

You can see all the concepts here: https://www.edmunds.com/car-news/easter ... -2023.html

But here is my obvious favorite:

I just want the wheels off of it lol

But do love the concept. Reminds me of my Bronco

Trying to figure out exactly where the photos were taken too. Think I know maybe a recreation coming

Yeah, 17" slotted wheels are hard to find. These are likely one offs, but would be cool if somebody made these.

US Mag makes a 17" slot but its only available 10" wide and only 3-5/8" back space so the tire/wheels stick way out like your back bumper should be dragging the ground..... If they would do a 9" with 4.5" back space like they do in the 15" I'd own a set. I call them about once a month and ask so fingers crossed by the time I'm ready for tires........

Looks like an SJ as did their rendition a year or three ago. What a concept!

Too bad they didn't use the same designers for the current Grand.

I need those center caps for my slots! Just two obv, but then I don't have to worry about the stupid caps that screw into the wheel

thank you for the previews.... that SJ is electric... I was wondering what was that black outlet on the driver's side hood by the cowl...

See below... plug in... what a pita, we need 100% electric...

Plug-In Hybrid. It uses the chassis from a 4xE.

So its a 300hp turbo, with the electric motor also.

100% electric would be infinitely cooler IMO.

The Magneto 3.0 (3rd version), which is one of the other Jeeps, is fully electric.

Yeah but it needs the SJ body

Now that they've killed the KL, rumor is there will be a hybrid in that slot.

Added a video of the Cherokee with a bunch more details.

A little late but, if any members need help I run one of the 2 big tire shops in Moab. Point S Moab Tire & Auto.

Good to know, I need to stop in and at least say hi. I was there 3 weeks ago with my J Truck, will be there again in 3 weeks with the Bronco.

But here is my obvious favorite:

I wonder how feasible it would be to swap the chassis like this. In theory the newer frame would be stronger and coil springs tend to ride smoother. I would forgo the 4xe part but the 2.0 turbo isn't that bad even though a 392 would be better.

The JK and JL have longer wheel bases. So the frame has to be either shortened, or the body modified for the longer wheelbase. In this concept, they modified the body. The front and rear wheel opens are pushed farther out.

We do have a current running there here putting a J-Truck on a JKU frame: viewtopic.php?t=20923

I can not help but enjoy the SJ style concept toys from Jeep.

This post takes me back to many Moab trips over the years. I never had the pocket book for such Jeeps but I did what I could in my back yard.

Flash back to my last trip to Moab and back... because I could. No trailer required.

Cool body damage.
