Every spring, Jeep owners and off-road enthusiasts head to Moab, Utah for the Easter Jeep Safari. This year marks the 59th running of the event, which takes place April 12-20, 2025. Consider it one long Jeep love fest filled with wheeling, lessons, repairs, and memories. Jeep always makes sure to return the love by arriving with a variety of concepts that show new parts and different spins on past and current vehicles. This year’s batch of Easter Jeep Safari builds made in collaboration with the specialists at Jeep Performance Parts (JPP) consists of the following.
Convoy
This military-inspired rig pays homage to the J-Series trucks with its distinctive nose and features a 12,000-pound Warn winch, brown canvas half doors, matching top and bed canopy, and high-clearance fender flares over a set of 17-inch Warn wheels surrounded by 40-inch BFGoodrich Krawler tires.
Bug Out 4xe
Overlanding can be heavy if you bring too much stuff. The Bug Out 4xe is all about lightening the load, which explains its half doors and lack of rear windows. To make getting away from it all easier, the Bug Out 4xe has integrated auxiliary battery packs, 12-inch body extension with a flat rear floor to provide shelter from the elements, and attachment points for a sleeping hammock.
Rewind
Many Jeep builds are inspired by Jeeps from WWII. That’s not the case here. The Rewind is a throwback to the 1980s and ’90s. That’s why it’s covered in Grimace purple and colorful graphics, with the interior featuring custom retro print inserts. There’s even a vintage car cell phone (perhaps next year’s EJS will have a rig inspired by Cher Horowitz’s YJ in “Clueless”).
Wrangler 4xe Blueprint
According to Stellantis, the Blueprint concept is “a rolling catalog of factory-tested and factory-backed items from Mopar and Jeep Performance Parts. Carrying more than 35 accessories finished in contrasting Mopar Blue and labeled with QR codes, each provides a live link to the Mopar eStore consumer website for specific part numbers, specifications, and options to purchase.” Those parts include a two-inch lift kit, rock rails, Rubicon steel bumpers, snorkel, and tailgate table.
Wrangler Rubicon 4xe Sunchaser
Sometimes an outdoor adventure can take all day and night. The Sunchaser is ready for those long hours with a two-inch lift, roof rack, and concept parts such as the vented high-top steel fender flares, side storage boxes, and Mopar ILLUMINAT3 off-road pivoting light bar.
Gladiator Rubicon High Top Honcho
Jeep gave its modern pickup 1970s-style graphics along with white steel wheels, 40-inch BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO3 rubber, Dana 60 axles, an AccuAir adjustable air suspension, and bed roll bar.
J6 Honcho
To make this 1970s Jeep Honcho tribute, the build team converted a Gladiator into a two-door pickup with a six-foot bed “box” area. Additional modifications include several custom parts: a triple-hoop front bumper with TYRI lights, flat steel fender flares, rock rails, roll bar with forward- and rear-facing TYRI lights, and rear spare tire carrier.
If you happen to be in Moab, you can see all of these concepts at the Walker Drug store April 14-18. To learn more about these one-offs and the 59th annual Easter Jeep Safari, visit the Stellantis media site by clicking here.
