Each year in March Jeep and Chrysler’s parts and accessories arm Mopar team up to host the Moab Easter Jeep Safari event in Utah. In recent years this event has become way more than just a fun off-road course for Jeep enthusiasts, as they are using the venue to showcase the latest concepts and design studies they are working on.

The 2013 line up of concept Jeeps coming to the Moab event include six vehicles, including these two showcased here as a teaser, Jeep Grand Cherokee “Trailhawk II” concept and the Jeep Wrangler “Slim”.

Not all of the vehicles coming to Moab have a chance of becoming a production model. Most of them are in fact wild flights of fancy. But over the years we have seen some amazing special editions of the Wrangler and Cherokee inspired by Moab concepts. That is what makes this event important.

The 2013 Moab Easter Jeep Safari will take place in Moab, Utah, March 23-31.
