Chrysler’s parts and tuning arm Mopar revealed the first pictures of four of their 2013 SEMA-bound concept cars. This year’s lineup includes heavily tricked-out Jeep, Dodge, Ram, Fiat and SRT vehicles, with an emphasize on the works of the new department, Mopar Off-Road Division.

Details of the Mopar Concepts are yet to be released, but based on what can see from the teaser pictures, the Cherokee is getting a very cool treatment with lots of off-road goodies like raised suspension, large wheels, and chunky tires.

The Ram Trucks meanwhile showcase the latest accessories available, designed to make the pickups more functional. There is apparently a Safari-prepared truck in the lineup.

The Fiat 500L is getting some heavy visual makeovers courtesy of Mopar designers, picking up where its little brother left last year, while the 300 models, as always, have to settle for some large wheels, lowered suspension, and dark, aggressive colors.
