Jeep unveiled seven new concept vehicles that will be heading to Moab, Utah to conquer the trails as part of the 49th annual Easter Jeep Safari. Since 2002, Jeep has created more than 50 concept vehicles for this event. This year, they are featuring a 1970s throwback that looks like it would fit in perfectly on a beach and one with a tent on the roof. These concepts are definitely not stock. They are one-off trucks with lift kits and off-road tires among many other modifications. "The most enthusiastic off-roaders travel to Moab each year for this premier event, making Easter Jeep Safari the perfect place to showcase Jeep Performance Parts," said Pietro Gorlier, President and CEO - Mopar brand service, parts and customer care, in a statement. The Safari will take place March 28 - April 5.
