While we get to drive awesome concepts during the 2018 Easter Jeep Safari, some vehicles – like the Jeep Jeepster concept – are more about form than function. That’s not an indictment of Jeep’s creations, we all know that they are (usually) not built for serious driving, but the Jeep Jeepster concept was on another level.
What is the Jeep Jeepster concept? It is a Jeep Wrangler JL with a 2-liter, turbocharged engine that is a rolling display of Jeep Performance Parts (née Mopar) components. It’s also a great example of what you can do with unique color schemes. The white on red motiff is very striking.
The JPP boys took the design a step further by lowering and painting the freedom top. It was lowered by two-inches and the windshield was tilted back an additional two-degrees. The overall look resembles the original Jeepster – from the back.
Still, the point of a vehicle like the Jeep Jeepster concept is more to be looked at than driven. It was very popular at the open-to-the-public display at the Walker Drugs’ parking lot in downtown Moab, Utah.
In this video, Roman and Nathan take the Jeep Jeepster on a brief off-road jaunt and get a feel for how this vehicle rolls.
