Spring is in the air, and with it comes Jeep’s annual celebration in Moab, Utah – the Easter Jeep Safari. This year, Jeep unveiled two ground-up concept builds and two Jeep Performance Parts accessorized models for Safari-goers to enjoy. While there may not be any wild vintage riffs or rebodies this year, Jeep’s 2024 concepts are in the “attainable” category, making them even more exciting to explore.
**Jeep Low Down:**
The Low Down Concept celebrates the V8 engine, a favorite among Jeep enthusiasts. Named after the older Easter Jeep Safari Concept, the Lower Forty, the Low Down is designed around its V8 engine, featuring a standard 392 with 475 horsepower. The concept boasts a stock-height suspension, beefed-up Dana 60 axles, and a set of 5.38 gears. The Poison Apple Red color adds to its allure.
**Jeep Willys Dispatcher:**
The Willys Dispatcher, built on the 4xe platform, is a forward-thinking concept offering a throwback design with modern touches. Featuring 36-inch tires on eggshell-colored steelies and a bright green finish, this concept blends vintage elements with contemporary styling. Inside, distressed leather with houndstooth inserts adds to the nostalgic vibe.
**Jeep Gladiator Rubicon High Top:**
A personal favorite, the Gladiator Rubicon High Top features a striking two-tone finish and massive 40-inch BFG KO3 tires on 18×9-inch KMC Grenade Crawl beadlock wheels. Equipped with Jeep Performance Parts accessories, including flat fender flares, Dana 60 axles, and an AccuAir adjustable air suspension, this pickup-based build is ready for adventure.
**Jeep Vacationeer:**
The Vacationeer, a Grand Wagoneer draped in spearmint wrap, offers a roof tent and a variety of adventure-ready features. Resembling the Camp Lux Grand Wagoneer from a previous year, the Vacationeer stands out with its green color and unique wheel design. While it may seem similar to its predecessor, the Vacationeer is set to make a statement on the trails.
As Jeep enthusiasts eagerly anticipate the release of the Recon model, the 2024 Easter Jeep Safari Concepts provide a glimpse into the brand’s innovative spirit and commitment to adventure. Despite it being a lean year in Moab, Jeep continues to dazzle with its lineup of exciting concept builds and accessorized models, setting the stage for a thrilling year ahead in the world of Jeep.
