Quicksand
This off-road hot rod is one of the new Jeep concept vehicles. The Quicksand packs a Mopar 392 Crate Hemi engine. Eight-stack injection, a peekaboo hood cutout and gasser-style downturned open headers really add a unique flare. A six-speed Getrag manual transmission adds to the fun.
Jeep created a wild body, with a longer wheelbase than your typical Wrangler. The front and rear portions of the body are trimmed down, with the hard stop and windshield chopped in true hot-rod fashion. The top and windows are open, so you can get grit in your teeth.
The hot rod theme continues with this rig’s stance. Up front are 32-inch BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain KM2 tires. In the rear are 37-inch versions of the same tires. Both sets are wrapped around 18-inch wheels with a vintage kidney bean design.
Trailpass
The only Compass concept, this takes the new version of the surprisingly capable Trailhawk model and makes it even more rugged. Among the enhancements Jeep applied is a 1.5-inch lift, a roof basket, cross rails and rock rails.
Jeep went for some dramatic cosmetic upgrades, too. The headlights and taillights are tinted, while the side mirror caps are gloss black. A custom hood graphic adds to the stealthy looks. Among the interior changes are Katzkin leather seats.
Switchback
The Switchback wears all kinds of Mopar and Jeep Performance Parts, making it perhaps the most realistic new Jeep concept vehicles for us normal people. Among the more notable upgrades are front and rear Dana 44 axles, a 4-inch lift, Remote Reservoir Fox shocks, heavy-duty differential covers, 10th Anniversary steel front and rear bumpers, a Rubicon winch, an axle-back exhaust, a cold air intake, 37-inch BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain KM2 tires, and custom 17-inch wheels.
For now, you can’t duplicate the half doors and hood, because they’re concept parts. Same for the Safari hard top and roof rack.
