"Every year, there&amp;#039;s an Easter Jeep Safari in Moab, Utah. It&amp;#039;s been going on for nearly 50 years, and Jeep uses the venue as a way to talk to its most enthusiastic supporters and show off some sketchpad flights of fancy brought to life. This year isn&amp;#039;t as exciting as 2012, when we saw the fantastic Mighty FC Concept, but with six vehicles, it&amp;#039;s not like Jeep is mailing it in. Let&amp;#039;s run down the list of 2013 rides.   Grand Cherokee Trailhawk The 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk Concept is a diesel-powered, knobby-tired machine on a mission. A parts-bin raid yielded a Grand Cherokee SRT hood and fascias, 17&amp;quot; Wrangler Rubicon wheels, and custom touches include larger wheel openings and flares, skid plates, rock rails and a pair of rear tow hooks. And it&amp;#039;s orange. Bright-effing-orange.   Wrangler Mopar Recon  The Wrangler Mopar Recon is the HEMI-powered Wrangler you&amp;#039;ve always wanted. It reads like an off-roader&amp;#039;s Christmas list (even though it&amp;#039;s built for an Easter event): 470hp 6.4 liter Hemi, Dana 60 axles, 4.10:1 gearing and prototype Jeep Performance Parts long-arm lift kit and eight-lug beadlocks. A Mopar catalog shopping spree is where the half-doors, &amp;quot;Stinger&amp;quot; bumpers, high-clearance fenders, and other goodies came from.   Wrangler Stitch  The Jeep Wrangler Stitch is a second helping of what made the Pork Chop great. It&amp;#039;s just 3,000 lbs thanks to taking the heat and air conditioning and throwing them in the trashbin along with the stereo. The 2013 SRT Viper donates its seats, and the body has been hit with a Sawz-all and topped with carbon fiber. There&amp;#039;s a whole bunch of chassis fiddling going on, starting with 35&amp;quot; Mickey Thompson tires which are bolted to DynaTrack Pro Rock 44 axles with 4.88:1 gearing and ARB lockers front and rear. It&amp;#039;s kept in check by King shocks with pneumatic bump stops, but none of these details matter as much as the first impression. The first thing you&amp;#039;ll notice about the Wrangler Stitch is the see-through fabric that wraps the body and alternately shows or hides the weight-saving cuts.   Sand Trooper II  The Sand Trooper II is another Hemi Wrangler - an Unlimited this time, finished in Desert-Ops tan. Your favorite phrase about this one? Portal axles. Oh yeah, beadlock wheels (prototypes), and 40&amp;quot; tires, too. It&amp;#039;s gotten whacked with the Mopar accessory stick, which is where the satin black grille, half-doors, shorty bumpers, vented hood and other stuff comes from. For all the exterior butch, there&amp;#039;s leather seats and a backup camera inside.   Wrangler Flattop  THe Wrangler Flattop goes all pillarless coupe. It&amp;#039;s not just a pretty Jeep with fancy wheels and autojourno-pleasing copper and brown accents. There&amp;#039;s a DynaTrack Pro Rock 44 front axle and a Dana 60 rear with ARB air lockers and TeraFlex sway bars bolted up to King shocks and riding on 37&amp;quot; tires. There is a cushy side with Katzkin leather and copper accents. It&amp;#039;s a chopped-roof earth-tone Jeep party in there.   Wrangler Slim  The Jeep Wrangler Slim is the one wearing a color Jeep is calling &amp;quot;Rock Lobster.&amp;quot; It&amp;#039;s set up with prototype Jeep Performance Parts forged beadlock wheels and all decaled up. The interior is leather, and the late &amp;#039;70s are brought back with a CB radio. The Wrangler Slim increases its stature with a prototype 2&amp;quot; lift kit.  Those prototype beadlock wheels are worth a closer look. They may not be functional beadlocks, a cosmetic homage to serious off-road hardware only, or, and this is our favorite answer, Jeep has figured out a way to make street-legal actual beadlocks. Which concept vehicle would you most like to drive? "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
