Live Pics: Jeep Jeepster Concept

[JAY]

Enjoy the live photos of the Jeep Jeepster Concept, a JL Wrangler based concept that mixes the present and past.

Details:

Available Jeep Performance Parts concept modifications combine to bring to life the Jeep Jeepster concept. Based on a Wrangler Rubicon, this concept evokes the color palette and speedy styling of the 1966 Jeepster.

The original’s classic two-tone graphic theme is mirrored on its modern-day counterpart with a Firecracker Red body, set off by a Bright White concept hardtop, chopped by two inches, and a Bright White custom windshield raked back 2.5 degrees to create a cropped, compact appearance. The customized windshield maintains the all-new Wrangler’s convenient fold-down feature. Bright White also accents the perimeter of the Rubicon fender flares, and an upper portion of the concept half doors. Jeep badging is replaced with a tri-color Jeepster hard badge.

The Jeepster deftly balances concept possibilities with a range of presently available Jeep Performance Parts, including a JPP hood and graphic, without the optional cold-air intake or snorkel. LED off-road lights in 5- and 7-inch applications illuminate the trail for the Jeepster, shining bright at up to 8,000 lumens. The LED lights are mounted to the A-pillar via light brackets. The Rubicon steel bumper features premium production LED fog lamps.

A 2-inch lift kit and 2.5-inch diameter aluminum body shocks work with oversized, 37-inch BF Goodrich KO2 tires to raise the Jeepster above off-road obstacles. Beadlock-capable 17-inch wheels are accented by body-color matching Firecracker Red beadlock trim rings. Additional items from the JPP portfolio include a black fuel door, grab handles and all-weather floor mats.

Inside the Jeepster, a concept tubular roll cage replaces the sport bar and an additional 38-inch tire is secured with a custom in-cabin spare tire carrier. The interior meshes off-road functionality with premium features, including black Katzkin leather seats with Rubicon Red Jeep grille logos embroidered on the seatbacks, and Rubicon Red accent stitching on the seat bolsters. The instrument panel inserts are Firecracker Red to tie in with the exterior.

Relocation of the spare tire to the cabin provides an opportunity for another custom touch: concept storage packs mounted to the tailgate for transport of gear and supplies such as food, water and tools. The packs feature a split design to accommodate the rearview camera. A concept rock step — a unique combination of a rock rail/side step — completes the Jeepster.

Are black jerry cans legal, or do they have to be red?

This is really amazing looking.

Put the factory tires from the Rubicon, lower those front fenders to the same height of the Rubicon and you've got me sold!

I wonder how hard it would be to paint the stock black trim to white to kind of make a home-made version of this concept.

I'm not sure they'd paint very well. I think the best option would be to offer that style Hard Top as a Mopar accessory to recreate this thing.

Yeah, you're probably right, and it'll look awful once the paint would start chipping.

Those fenders are the same as the Rubicon but it does have a 2 inch lift also the windshield is raked 2.5 degrees and the top is chopped. I love this concept

If they just add this paint job..to the options of the regular rubicon I would pay a premium.

I love how the roof is painted but IMO they should have kept the fenders all red.

Yeah I think I noticed the fenders were normal Rubicon height after a while, Honestly with that lift it makes the fenders look ridiculously high now.

very nice for sure, but a 2nd mortgage would prolly be required for most if it came to production!!!!

Are black jerry cans legal, or do they have to be red?

There's a color system based on the contents of the canister, red is for flammable liquids, most commonly gas.

I really doubt you'd get pulled over or anything for this (how would they know it's not full of water, etc) of course, but insurance might not treat you kindly if something comes up.

They did something similar with the Chief JK based on the Chief concept.
