There are a couple companies making retro front end kits

Went in to their site and didn't see anything other than engine conversions. LS3, hum!!

Gotta say this has got to be one of the most uninspiring jeep safari reveals, nothing new at all unless you’ve never seen a safari reveal in your life. The poor engineers must be really constrained by jeep’s poor bottom line, I mean another j6 model, a 70’s front end gladiator, a scrambler themed gladiator, 2 mall cruisers ( looking at you Rewnd and Blueprint), honestly if you had asked AI what jeep Easter safari concept would look like I think this what you would get.
Did like that marketing did not catch the inverted photo with giant JEEP spelled backwards.
ah… maybe next year.

That Rewind better have a cassette player in it.

 

[Alaska-HWY JK]

Unobtainium, bling and sticker packages.

That Rewind better have a cassette player in it.

With this in it!

The Honcho is super tight.

This! BADAZZ!

Different paint for me but the concept is very cool. Unfortunately, not enough profit for the limited amount of buyers this vehicle would appeal to.

I can almost guarantee that the retro Gladiator front grille is a sign of what's to come. I remember back I think in 2017 they had a easter jeep concept vehicle sporting the new JL grille before the JL was announced or shown to the public.

However, I'm not convinced about the side profile of the new front end, or if the new grille will look good with non-chopped front fenders.

Honcho: Liking the steelies, 8-lug, Full Floater 1-ton stuff

J6 Honcho: Liking this but P L E A S E lose the 70's paint/stripes

Convoy: I already did 30 years in the Armee, so no thanks.

Bugout: Interesting but the thing looks too long or something. Yellow accents: Yawn!

Rewind: I'm going full reject on this one. Ugly colors, awful striping, too bold, just too much. It seems like sitting in it would cause the driver to experience vertigo.

Blueprint: Are you serious? Sell it to the Indians and Pakistanis. Offer a jingle ball windshield and wheel well surround option and they'd snap these up like crazy.

Sunchaser: Ah, very nice. Practical, looks Jeepy and tough. My clear winner!!!!

I'd be all over a Honcho if things were different.

April 11, 2025 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - The Jeep® brand is making its annual trek to the 59th annual Easter Jeep Safari (April 12-20) in Moab, Utah, with seven new, expressive and highly capable concept vehicles for customers and off-roading enthusiasts to experience and interact with in new, memorable ways.

“Easter Jeep Safari was created by Jeep owners for Jeep owners, and this incredible event has helped steer the Jeep brand’s development of off-road 4x4 vehicles over the years, while most importantly connecting us with the community and the thousands of Jeep enthusiasts who gather each year,” said Bob Broderdorf, CEO, Jeep brand. “Moab is our home away from home and a playground that can only be properly explored in a Jeep. The custom Jeep and JPP concepts we’ll unveil this year, along with unique immersive experiences, will once again demonstrate Jeep brand’s unmatched off-road capability and underscore what it means to drive a Jeep.”

From seven all-new custom Jeep 4x4 concept builds to immersive consumer activations, the Jeep brand and Jeep Performance Parts (JPP) by Mopar are geared up to take over Moab, the country’s epicenter for off-roading adventures.

“The challenging off-road trails and terrain in Moab offer us the perfect place to showcase the latest selection of authentic, quality-tested Jeep Performance Parts from Mopar,” said Darren Bradshaw, senior vice president, Stellantis parts and services – North America. “Unlike any other aftermarket offering, our factory-backed Jeep Performance Parts are specifically designed and engineered to deliver exact fit, form and function, allowing our Jeep owners to further enhance their stock vehicles with confidence.”

As part of the Jeep brand’s ongoing commitment to land stewardship and responsible off-roading, Jeep brand and JPP employees will once again partner with Red Rock 4-Wheelers and the Bureau of Land Management to clean up and conserve local Moab trails. Every year, Jeep volunteers complete a trail restoration project, which often involves clearing miles of trash and debris, repairing and building rock walls and fencing, and restoring areas along the routes.

Together with JPP, the Jeep brand will offer 2025 Easter Jeep Safari attendees an unforgettable collection of Jeep 4x4 vehicles and experiences, including:

Jeep Brand and JPP Concept Vehicles
This year’s Easter Jeep Safari (EJS) concept vehicle lineup is bigger and better than ever, featuring seven all-new custom builds crafted by the mad (design) scientists of the Jeep brand and JPP teams. The 2025 concepts celebrate the Jeep brand’s 4x4 leadership and core wheeling icons with a touch of new-school style. As the Jeep brand continues to evolve and push boundaries, Jeep brand and JPP designers were challenged to conceptualize visual bookends for the expressive and highly capable vehicles that will soon traverse Moab. The result is a robust EJS concept lineup that pays homage to the Jeep brand’s roots and offers a glimpse into the vehicles that are distinctly paving the way for the future of off-roading. The following 2025 Jeep and JPP/Mopar concept vehicles will be on display at Walker Drug, April 17-18.

• Jeep Convoy Concept – Military-inspired, classic workhorse Jeep Gladiator with a design that stands the test of time visually and functionally
• Jeep Bug Out 4xe Concept – Extended carbon-fiber Jeep Wrangler that unites ultralight camping with overlanding for off-grid adventures

Looking forward to seeing them all in person next week. I doubt I will see anything I want to write a check for.

Honcho: Liking the steelies, 8-lug, Full Floater 1-ton stuff

J6 Honcho: Liking this but P L E A S E lose the 70's paint/stripes

Convoy: I already did 30 years in the Armee, so no thanks.

Bugout: Interesting but the thing looks too long or something. Yellow accents: Yawn!

Rewind: I'm going full reject on this one. Ugly colors, awful striping, too bold, just too much. It seems like sitting in it would cause the driver to experience vertigo.

Blueprint: Are you serious? Sell it to the Indians and Pakistanis. Offer a jingle ball windshield and wheel well surround option and they'd snap these up like crazy.

Sunchaser: Ah, very nice. Practical, looks Jeepy and tough. My clear winner!!!!

The bugout looks like it has the high cowl of the 4xE, but I think the windshield is laid back farther. So a 2 door JLU, with extra room behind the rear tire like the mid 2000s LJ. I don't hate the look, but I wonder if that windshield angle is foreshadowing to the JM.

The bugout looks like it has the high cowl of the 4xE,

Where do you get the ideal of a "high cowl"?
The cowl on a 4xe is the same as on a JT Overland which is the same as on Mojave and so on. It's a design illusion - the parts all interchange.
The only part that is different is the one piece the charging port is in, otherwise they all interchange and you can even use the charging port piece on any Gladiator.

Windshield does look a bit more "laid back" but I'd almost bet the other parts are the same.

The Mojave and 4XE both use different cowls than every other version of the wrangler/gladiator.
It's why you can't do a 1:1 hood swap.

Look at the windshield hinges.
