Pathfinder 4x4 Safari 4x4 Van

Solid-axle 4WD conversion on a little van.

Jered Korfhage Writer Mar 23, 2021

See All 7 Photos

Four-wheel-drive vans always have been and always will be rad. With that said, let's fast-forward past the Russian-built UAZ-452, the Volkswagen Vanagon, and many others, to March 1988, when we met the second-of-its-kind Pathfinder GMC Safari conversion.

When the Pathfinder 4x4 vans were popular, 4x4 conversions already weren't an uncommon sight, with companies like Quigley Motor Company sliding live axles and transfer cases under full-size vans for purposes of business and pleasure. We had even seen the Dana-engineered V-Drive hit the scene. This system featured a Twin I-Beam-based front suspension as a model, where a Dana 30 differential was added to each beam. Each pumpkin got its power from an output shaft, extending diagonally from a gearbox directly behind the van's transmission. Bevel gears within the gearbox split the power between the rear driveshaft and the two forward output shafts, creating four-wheel drive. Left mostly unexplored was the minivan market, namely vans that could pull with all four tires and still fit in the garage. Enter Pathfinder.

With over a decade of experience in the 4x4 conversion business at the time, Pathfinder had worked with the Big Three automakers to build DOT-certified conversion vans, all with full warranties. The company's GMC Safari conversion was a venture into the compact van space, and we were invited to see it firsthand. We were introduced to Pathfinder's second prototype that was assembled at the General Motors plant in Warren, Ohio. The conversion began with a BorgWarner 1345 transfer case and a heavy-duty subframe to support the 3,400-pound-rated Dana 44 front axle. Rancho leaf springs and Bilstein gas shocks were employed for suspension, and the GM rear axle was left alone save for small lift blocks. The van was motivated by a 262ci GM V-6 backed by a four-speed automatic trans. Our tester, fully converted and complete with the SLE trim package (AC, cruise control, a 27-gallon fuel tank, tilting power steering, and an AM/FM/cassette stereo) went to market for $21,000.

After romping around in the Pathfinder 4x4 Safari van on and off the tarmac, we felt its ride was similar to that of the GMC Jimmy. The prototype's LT215/75R15 BFGoodrich all-terrain tires did sometimes contact the van's wheelwells, and we noticed a pronounced front-biased weight distribution. However, the van's size lent itself to a smart combination of agility and stability. In further comparison, when we considered how easy it'd be to open the sliding (and swing-away) doors, stuff the van with passengers and gear, and proceed confidently into the dirt, it was clear (at least at the time) how this could be the 4x4 platform of the future.

Following our time with the Pathfinder Safari 4x4 van, the world saw AWD vans hit the market, and 4x4 conversions remained popular. Compared to full-size vans with solid axles and monster tires, though, smaller SASed 4x4 vans, similar to the prototype we tested, can sometimes be harder to find. Journeys Off Road is one place to look if such a project interests you, and the company offers a kit to turn most second-gen GMC Safari/Chevy Astros into live-axle off-road machines. We've also uncovered a handful of Pathfinder vans still living in the wild.

Tell us your 4x4 van story! Have you come across a V-Drive van? Have you owned a solid-axle, first-gen Safari, or even a lifted (not joking) Toyota Sienna from Journeys Off Road? Email a few lines, and pictures if you've got 'em, to [email protected] . We'd love to see them.

Types of Safari Vehicles, Overland Trucks & More: 14 Best Ways to Explore Africa

Posted by Briony Chisholm on September 16 2022 in Adventure Travel in Africa Enquire Now!

So you’re going on a safari to see the open plains and incredible wildlife of Africa? One of the most important details to check, before booking your trip, is what types of African safari vehicles, overlanding trucks, and other forms of transportation are used.

The range of safari vehicles is enormous. From walking safaris with enclosed transfer vehicles to pop-top 4X4 safari vehicles, and from 4-seater to 44-seater overland trucks. You can go bare-bones or air-conditioned high-luxury, local dugout mokoro, horseback, or air safaris for a bird's eye view. The important thing is to choose the type of African safari vehicle or overlanding truck, and other means of exploring (or combination) that suits you, for the ultimate African safari experience.

We’ll start with the biggest African safari vehicles and end with the ‘on foot’ transportation mode.

Safari Vehicles, Overland Trucks & Ways to Explore Africa - Quick Links

• Overlanding Vehicles (Overland Trucks)
• Minibus or Microbus Safari Vehicles
• Land Rover & Cruiser Safari Vehicles
• Open Game Viewing Safari Vehicles
• Flying African Safaris
• Hot Air Balloon Trips
• Shark Cage Diving Boats
• Rubber Ducks
• Dhow Sailing Boats
• Game Viewing Boat Cruises
• Mokoro Dug-out Canoes
• Kayak & Canoe Safaris
• Horseback & Camel Safaris
• Walking Safaris (on foot & by vehicle)

1. Africa Overlanding Vehicles (Overland Trucks)

These expedition trucks are specially built to deal with the rough roads of Africa, where potholes, deep ruts, and river crossings are pretty ‘every day.’ They are normally used for longer and larger (12 to 44 people) overland Africa tours, so need to be able to carry a fair amount of equipment while still offering the budget traveller a relatively comfortable trip and good views of the passing scenery and wildlife.

African tour operators choose the best overland truck for each trip, according to the area being visited and the anticipated terrain that will be covered. 

Overland Vehicle Seating Arrangements

Overland trucks may differ in their seating formation and size. Some have all forward-facing seats, while others may have some backward- or side-facing seats. The seats are generally raised, allowing for good views over the African landscapes, especially in grassy areas, where you want to be able to spot animals in the grass. Ask your tour operator about seating formation and how many are seated in a row – some overland trucks seat up to three per row, which makes seeing out a bit more difficult if you’re in the middle – before booking your overland tour.

Windows, Pop-up Roofs, and Taking Photos on Overland Trucks

The overland trucks generally have large windows, some of which open vertically, others horizontally – allowing for good views. Many of them also have a pop-up roof. This allows you to stand up and get 360-degree views and photos.

Luggage Space on Overlanding Trucks

All overland trucks are equipped with storage space (some lockable) for luggage and equipment – some under the seating section, others at the back of the truck, and some with a detachable trailer. Obviously, space is at a premium, so be sure to pack only the absolute essentials. Also, when packing, use soft luggage rather than hard (e.g. Samsonite), as it is much easier to fit into lockers and overhead compartments.

Most overland trucks have a safe onboard for the storage of valuables.

Mobile Kitchen & Diner

Many meals while on safari are prepared and eaten out in the bush, far from civilization. The overland trucks are fully equipped for this. Most safari trucks have a ‘kitchen’ section (often fold-out, beneath the seating area) with a stove and hand dish-washing area. They also have a fridge/freezer/cooler boxes to keep supplies and drinks fresh in the African heat. Africa Overland Tours are thirsty work!

Safety First on Safari!

Safety is non-negotiable. Check with your tour operator that there is a fully-stocked First Aid kit onboard, safety belts on all seats, and some means of communication (radio, etc.), in case of emergencies while on safari. All legitimate tour operators have their client’s safety first in mind and ensure that their overland trucks are kept in a good condition and are reliable for long trips – larger fuel and water tanks, spare tyres, knowledgeable and well-trained drivers, etc.

Overland Truck Gadgets

Modern overlanding trucks come fully equipped with the modern gadgets that we've all got used to. With iPod/MP3 points, you can listen to your own soundtrack as you watch the African landscape slide by. They also have onboard charging facilities so ensure that your camera remains fully charged and you don't lose that once-in-a-lifetime shot of a lion hunting his prey!

Some smaller tours use smaller overland trucks – seven to nine-seaters – which provide window seats only, so nobody has to be in a middle seat.

Luxury Overlanding Trucks

These are state-of-the-art 4x4 overland vehicles used on small-group overland tours. A custom-built luxury overland truck comfortably accommodates up to 12 guests. They are specially designed to provide extra space and amenities. This is the overland vehicle of choice for a more luxurious overlanding Africa experience with all the adventure in added style and comfort.

Features include an onboard toilet and a water filtration system for purified drinking water on the road. The luxury overland trucks have reclining leather seats that rotate 180 degrees and lock into your preferred position (for example, window or front-facing).

Each seat has overhead air-conditioning vents that can be independently operated for individual control of airflow and temperature. Every seat also features a USB port panel for charging your electronic devices and there is a reading light above each seat. Each seat has a safety deposit unit with individual key code access, for storing your passports, phones, and smaller valuables.

2. Minibus or Microbus Safari Vehicles

For smaller safari groups and shorter tours that don’t go through hugely rugged areas, adapted microbuses (or minibuses) are used. As safari vehicles, Toyota Quantums and Mercedes Sprinters are most commonly used. The optimal number in most of these safari vehicles is six to ten people, forward-facing.

When booking a safari, find out from the tour operator which safari vehicle is used, and how many window seats there are, to ensure that everybody gets a window seat and has a good view of the spectacular scenery and amazing animals of Africa.

These safari microbuses are specially adapted for safari travel and are generally equipped with GPS tracking, sliding windows, cooler boxes, fire extinguishers, and First Aid kits. They generally have a softer suspension than other safari vehicles, giving a slightly more comfortable trip. Many of them – especially on  Kenya Safaris – also feature pop-up tops, allowing travellers to stand and view/photograph the countryside and animals from the minibus.

Some minibuses are fitted with air-conditioning. This is a welcome relief from the sweltering African heat but may detract from the whole experience of Africa, as the windows will be closed, blocking out the sounds of the bush.

3. Land Cruising Safari Vehicles

Land Cruisers and Land Rovers are used on many safari tours. They range from ‘bare-bones’ models i.e. no added ‘mod-cons’, to highly specialized vehicles that may include air-conditioning, MP3 players, and slightly tinted windows for protection from the sun. Some of the newer safari vehicle models also have pop-up roofs, for added viewing potential, especially in Tanzania.

Safari Vehicle Seating Arrangements 

These safari vehicles, in general, can carry four to six (extended version) passengers, all forward-facing. Check the seating configuration with your tour operator before booking. While extended safari vehicles can carry more people, they tend to be slightly more difficult to handle on the road. Most of the Land Cruisers are 4X4s, allowing travel over the rough terrain that Africa is known for… Have a look at images of the road into the Ngorongoro Crater if you want an idea!

While self-hire safari vehicle options are available, tour operators all have experienced drivers who, more often than not have extensive knowledge not only of handling the rough terrain but of the areas through which we travel.

Safety First on Safaris!

Most Land Cruisers are equipped with all possible safety features – fire extinguishers, First Aid kits, seat belts and many have airbags. They have specially designed fuel tanks to allow the economical use of diesel during long journeys and snorkels for travel through rivers.

Luggage Space & How to Pack (light)

In general, luggage is taken either in a trailer or packed on the roof, to keep the safari vehicle as uncluttered as possible inside, for your comfort. Remember to pack lightly!

4. Open Game-Viewing Safari Vehicles

Within many of the game parks, smaller, open-sided, or completely open safari vehicles are used for game drives. While these are not suitable for long distances – wind, dust, sun, and Africa’s elements can be harsh! – they are great for game drives as they allow you to get up close and personal with the sights, sounds, and smells of the African bush.

These safari vehicles are most often adapted Land Cruisers which seat between six and nine passengers. Some are designed with tiered seating so that nobody’s view is blocked by the person in front of them’s head!

Protection from The Elements

Due to their being open to the elements, it is vital to protect yourself against the African sun. Hats, scarves, and windbreakers are all excellent shields from fiery hot UV rays. Many of these open safari vehicles do have canvas/plastic canopies that can be closed if the weather becomes uncooperative. Thunderstorms in Africa can be wild, and come on within minutes!

Safari Drivers & Trackers

Most often when going on game drives, there will be a driver and a tracker (often sits on the front of the car, allowing him to track spoor and dung.) The trackers are highly experienced, and allow one to see the best Africa has to offer in wildlife.

5. Bird’s-Eye View Flying Safaris

‘Air safaris’ are offered at various places in Africa, like Victoria Falls and the Okavango Delta . A flight over the delta in a small plane gives you an idea of the vastness of the area. A helicopter flight over Victoria Falls will make you feel like an eagle soaring above this spectacular area!

Helicopters on Safari

The ‘vehicles’ used differ from operator to operator. The helicopters used at Victoria Falls are generally 4- or 6-seaters and many have bubble windows, allowing for good viewing. Do remember that, in the 6-seater, you may land up in the middle seat, making seeing out slightly more difficult.

Light Planes on Safari

In the Okavango Delta, many of the lodges are only reachable by air, especially during the wet season. Many small plane charters are available both as a means to get to the lodges and for a birds-eye view of the delta and spectacular photographic opportunities – a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

6. Hot Air Balloon Rides

What could be better than watching the sun rise over the Serengeti  while floating gently above its vast plains in a hot air balloon? Nothing, really. Hot air balloon rides are offered at various places in Africa (like Masai Mara and Serengeti) and provide an incredible, thrilling, bird’s-eye view of the vastness of Africa, dotted with wildlife.

7. Boat to the Great White Sharks

The boat used for our Great White Shark Cage Diving trips in South Africa is a custom-built catamaran. Combining comfort, stability, speed, and safety, this boat ensures not only a good trip for you but also promises minimal interference in the shark’s natural habitat.

The custom-built shark cage diving boat is typically a 46-foot (14m) long catamaran with a spacious upper deck for surface views of the sharks and other marine animals and platforms for the bait and decoy handlers to ensure the best possible shark viewing. It is a lightweight aluminium vessel powered by four big four-stroke 300-hp outboard engines and is equipped with the most advanced electronic navigation equipment. 

Staying dry and comfortable

Featuring a spacious indoor cabin, as well as separate wet and dry outdoor decks, the design ensures that when you’re wet, you’re wet, but once you’re out and want to be dry and comfortable, you can be. The boat usually features a central dining area, storage facilities for personal items, and both male and female toilets.

Electronically, the boat is fully equipped with a tracking device, radios, GPS, radar and navigation equipment, depth finder and echo sounder, and even a 12V charging facility for cameras, cell phones, and laptops.

Safety - yours and the shark's

Safety is of utmost importance and there are life vests for all passengers, fire extinguishers, a life raft, and capsize bottles on the boat. In case of medical emergencies, there are two onboard First Aid kits, oxygen cylinders, and fluid replacement.

Not only is your safety cared for, but that of the sharks too. The cage has no sharp points or edges that could hurt the animals. The cage itself is specially constructed of reinforced steel and can take five people comfortably. It is lowered and winched back up using a winch from a sturdy gantry. Oxygen is supplied from the boat to divers via a ‘hookah’ system with hoses running into the cage.

This, too, is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. There’s not much more exhilarating than coming face-to-face with a Great White in its own habitat!

8. Rubber-Ducking the Gorges

Jinja, in Uganda - where the longest river in Africa, The Nile, begins at its source, Lake Victoria - is one of the top whitewater rafting destinations in the world. Add in Victoria Falls, the Fish River Canyon, and the Orange (Gariep) River, where various boat options are offered, from boogie-boarding the rapids through canoeing to rubber ducking both flat water and white water, and it's an adrenaline junkie's dream. Your trip choice depends completely on your adrenaline requirements/limits!

Whichever you choose, be sure to check that the tour operator follows all safety regulations, ensuring that you have a safe, enjoyable trip through the gorge. Life jackets and helmets are non-negotiable, these waters can get wild, and a knowledgeable, trained guide will ensure you get the most out of your trip.

9. East African Dhows (sailing boats)

There is nothing quite so beautiful as seeing a traditional dhow gliding through the warm, azure waters of the Indian Ocean. Originally used for trading, these long, narrow boats with triangular sails, expertly sailed by locals, are used along the east coast of Africa.

So whether you’re heading off to the Bazaruto Archipelago or exploring the coastline of Zanzibar , do yourself a favour and catch a ride on one of these graceful sailing vessels.

10. Game Viewing Boat Cruises

One of the best ways to watch wildlife and birds on safari in Africa is without a doubt by boat. It's hard to compete with a laid-back sunset cruise. Exceptional wildlife and bird sightings along the rivers and estuaries in top game reserves of Africa. Stunning scenery. Chilled sundowners and snacks or dinner onboard. Easy-paced, yet exciting and novel. 

The boats used on boat cruises vary but they are typically open-sided motorboats. The larger boats offer standing and sitting room and are sometimes double-deckers. 

Chobe National Park in Botswana is one of the best places for boat-based game viewing in Africa. Another favourite spot for scenic boat cruises is the Zambezi River near Victoria Falls. There are plenty of other great destinations for game-viewing boat cruises, from Uganda to South Africa. 

Recommended Safaris with Game-Viewing Boat Cruises

• Botswana:  5-Day Chobe & Okavango Delta Lodge Tour  or  Botswana Exclusive Camping Safari to Chobe & Okavango  - include Chobe River boat cruises (as with most Chobe Safaris)
• Uganda:  Gorilla Trekking & Queen Elizabeth Park Safari  - includes boat cruises on Kazinga Channel (Queen Elizabeth Park) & in Murchison Falls National Park

11. Winding Through the Waterways in Mekoro

If your safari includes a trip into the Okavango Delta , you will more-than-likely experience the gentle pleasure of a trip in a mokoro canoe. Check with your tour operator that this is included as part of the package, or offered as an optional activity. You don’t want to miss out on this opportunity to get up close and personal with the prolific birds and wildlife – including elephants, hippos, and crocs – of the Okavango Delta.

Mokoro History

These traditional dug-out canoes are made of wood and guided by a ‘poler’, who stands at the helm. While originally made from indigenous trees, such as the Kingella or ‘Sausage Tree’, they are increasingly made of fibreglass these days. While not as ‘authentic’, this is preserving the indigenous trees of the area and provides just-as-good a means of transport through the spectacular waterways of the delta.

Experienced polers

Many people are afraid of hippos overturning a mokoro. While this is not an impossibility – this is Africa, after all, and you’re in their habitat – the polers are experienced in the area and are very aware that hippos are territorial creatures. They are sure to avoid dangerous situations.

A trip on a mokoro allows you to get as close to the sights and sounds of Africa as is physically possible. Don’t miss out on this once-in-a-lifetime experience.

12. Kayak & Canoe Safaris

If you're a kayaking or canoeing enthusiast this is the ultimate game-viewing safari vehicle for you. Watch the wilderness glide by as you paddle quietly along the rivers and waterways of Africa. A canoeing or kayaking safari gives you more independence than a mokoro trip where a guide poles you along.

The canoes and kayaks used on safaris vary widely, ranging from inflatable canoes to rugged old-school kayaks.

Some canoe safaris offer game viewing opportunities along the riverbanks and even in the waters whilst most are more about taking in the wild scenery and spotting birds.

13. Explore the African Bush on Horseback or Camelback

An incredible way to experience the bush up close! Horseback safaris are allowed in certain game reserves so if you want to experience the bush on horseback you'll need to pick your destinations accordingly. Two of the most popular African safari destinations that offer horseback safaris are Victoria Falls (Zambia or Zimbabwe) and Big 5 game reserves near Cape Town in South Africa. 

For a whole new experience, you can explore Africa by camel. An entirely unique and exotic mode of transport indeed. Camelback safaris are far rarer than horseback safaris. You can only embark on a camelback adventure in a few places, including parts of East Africa.

14. Walking Safaris in Africa

This is (obviously) only an option once you are in the game reserve. Depending on the safety i.e. the presence of dangerous predators, many game reserves offer guided walking tours. This is the ideal way to get a true, African, wildlife experience. By walking through the bush all your senses experience Africa – sight, smell, sounds, touch – unadulterated by the sound of motors and really off the beaten track.

Guides and trackers

Most reserves have highly experienced guides who are a fountain of knowledge regarding the fauna and flora of the area and are excellent trackers. This allows you to not only experience the bush but also learn all sorts of fascinating facts while seeing the birds, insects, and animals that call Africa ‘home.’

If you have the opportunity, do not miss out on a walking safari. You can’t get closer to nature than this.

SAFARI JEEP

See africa our way - in 4 x 4 land cruiser safari jeeps, we call it “the essential safari vehicle”, starting from/returning to nairobi area hotels, airport, or location of your choice..

Why? Because the Jeep was built for the rugged demands of safari adventure. No other vehicle can get you as close to the wildlife. So on all Africa Kenya Safari journeys, we guarantee you a 4 x 4 pop-top Safari Jeep at no extra charge!

No matter the terrain – muddy rivers, deep forests, or tough hills, our solid 4 x 4’s will forge over dirt, rock, and bush, bringing you deeper into the wild. With its higher elevation and pop-top roof, you’ll get wide-open views of lions, elephants, and vast herds of wildebeests streaming across the savannah.

What Makes the African Safari Jeep so Special?

Think of African safaris and you’re sure to picture a Jeep tearing across the plains and over the hills, in pursuit of cheetah, buffalo, and herding zebras. Decades of safari expeditions have evolved the 4 x 4 Land Cruiser making it the perfect safari ride.

• 4 x 4 all-wheel-drive, high platform, and powerful torque get through the toughest terrain, mud, and water crossings. You’ll off-road to where other vehicles wouldn’t dare
• The Jeep’s high platform also means higher seating and better views to spot game further afield
• For on roading or off, the Jeep’s rugged suspension ensures a more comfortable ride
• The Jeep is built on safari experience – 2 fuel tanks and 2 spare tires
• Lots of doors for quick and easy access
• Big windows and a pop-top roof to see the vast expanse of land and wildlife
• The Jeep is more stable and roomier than a minivan.
• This is the ultimate safari vehicle – 70 years of off-roading experience!

Picture Yourself Next to Your Safari Jeep

You’ll be taking lots of photos on safari: the wildlife, the land, yourself… and probably the platform that brought you there – your 4 x 4 Land Cruiser Jeep.

Since 1951 the Land Cruiser Jeep has been to adventure what the lion has been to the African safari – the absolute must. Make sure your photos show you alongside your authentic 4 x 4 Land Cruiser Jeep.

Here is Our 4 x 4 African Safari Jeep Guarantee

It’s simple – when you book your safari with Africa Kenya Safaris , you’ll adventure out to Kenya’s fantastic wildlife in one of our 4 x 4 Jeeps, guaranteed. At no additional cost.

Other safari outfits will put you in a minivan. Do you really want to experience the greatest adventure of your life in a minivan?

Or, the others will try to upsell you a 4 x 4 at an additional charge. Not us.

A customized, rugged, and dependable 4 x 4 Jeep is included in your safari fee. The choice is easy.

We hope to see you soon for an amazing wildlife adventure in the ultimate safari vehicle – your 4 x 4 Land Cruiser Jeep.

He not only kept us entertained (and it wasn’t over the top talking for the sake of talking) but also provided historical information about Antigua and Barbuda. He drove great, lunch was delicious, and he prepared us for what to expect at the Swim with the Sting Ray attraction. Wholeheartedly recommend! Read more Written March 22, 2024
• gibson737 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles An interesting tour If you want to learn about the history, geography and culture of Antigua, then this tour is for you. We had the pleasure of being lead around the entire island by Giles who supplied us with interesting information and rum punch. Giles is a wonderful guide, always making sure our needs were being met. As we were driving along, he would stop and talk about various plants, buildings, historic sites and other miscellaneous things. What was advertised to be a 6 hour excursion lasted over 8 1/2 and it didn't even seem that long due to Giles engaging style and his obvious pride of his country. I strongly recommend this tour.

We were picked up from Jolly Beach and then headed to St. John's, where the tour started. Our guide was really knowledgeable, and gave us a load of info not just about the sights on Antigua but also the flora and fauna. We had plenty of time for photos at Devil's Bridge, and enjoyed lunch at the plantation (where we also had the chance to read about the history), but the highlight of the trip was going to Stingray City. To have the chance to stand in the sea whilst these enormous creatures swim around and underneath you was magical - definitely a bucket list moment! It was also a great place to snorkel around - plenty of coral, fish, lobsters etc to see.

Jeep Flexes its 4×4 Muscle with Four Easter Jeep Safari Concepts

Easter Jeep Safari is a massive gathering of 4x4s that sees off-roaders flock to Moab, the unofficial rock-crawling capital of Utah, for the yearly festivities. Jeep has regularly used Moab as a proving ground for its vehicles, as the slick rock, sand, and mud offer challenging terrain that tests a 4×4’s articulation, grip, and general usability.

The brand also values Moab as a place to show new Jeep designers and engineers some of the extreme use cases that the vehicles need to endure, as well as learn how buyers modify their 4x4s. It has a history of bringing outlandish and capable builds to the annual gathering at Moab, many of which have previewed future production options like 35-inch tires and even several Wrangler-based pickups years before Gladiator hit the market.

For 2024, Jeep will be showing off four builds on the trails around Moab that display the broad spectrum of Jeep capability.

Willys Dispatcher Concept

Chris Piscitelli, Senior Manager Jeep Exterior Design, described the Willys Dispatcher as a celebration of “Post WWII Americana.” Based on a 2024 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 4xe, the Willys Dispatcher uses a two-inch lift and a pair of Dana 50 axles to fit 16×7-inch steel wheels and 36-inch Super Traxion tires. The relatively skinny tires, “Willys” embossing on the hood, and Warn 8274 winch are all retro off-roading throwbacks. So are the simple steel bumpers and the custom Element 115 green paint that evoke ‘50s design. The retro theme continues inside, where the factory seats ditched their headrests and wear distressed saddle leather upholstery with houndstooth inserts. A Jeep Performance Parts vinyl floor covering replaces the carpet to continue the retro theme.

Low Down Concept

Revisiting the Lower Forty concept from 15 years ago, Low Down is all about fitting massive tires while keeping the center of gravity low. Its stock Rubicon 392 suspension was left as is, and its Dana 60 axles still manage to wear monster 42×14.5-inch tires on 20-inch beadlock wheels. Repositioned front fenders and some trimming of the bodywork allow the tires to fit. While it’s a four-door, the rear handles were shaved to give a clean appearance and mimic the extended-wheelbase two-door JK that Jeep fans have nicknamed “LJ”.The interior of Low Down is devoid of screens “because racecar.” It also doesn’t have a radio because its exhaust is all the soundtrack you’ll need.

Some of the inspirations for Low Down include ‘60s Ferrari race cars and the Lancia Stratos. That inspiration is clearly reflected in the hood bulge. The clear bubble is perforated by eight holes as an homage to vintage race cars and to denote the V-8 powerplant. The result is a rowdy rock-crawler that offers approach and departure angles of around 90 degrees so that it can approach nearly vertical rock walls, with enough power to climb them.

Matt Hilburn, Manager Mopar/Jeep Performance Parts Design, said that the idea of High Top was to show how much performance could be had in a Gladiator that was still attainable. Its Dana 60 axles are filled with 5.38:1 gears to help the V-6 powertrain tame the mass of 40-inch tires and 18×9-inch KMC Grenade beadlock wheels. An AccuAir adjustable suspension provides the lift to clear the tires while flexing on the trail while still staying relatively low for on-road jaunts.

A set of JPP concept flat fender flares cover the tires and an AEV front bumper provides trail protection and a tidy place to mount a Warn winch. Its Gingersnap Metallic paint and satin black graphic are a throwback to ‘70s and ‘80s J10 pickups. The color scheme is inverted for the interior, where Alea leather seats use black diamond-quilted inserts and bolsters.

Vacationeer

In another bit of throwback design, the Vacationeer is Jeep’s take on a road trip vehicle that balances off-road capability and on-road comfort. Finished in a retro green called “Spearminted”, the Vacationeer looks like last year’s Grand Wagoneer Overland with a decidedly ’60s slant. Its fascia and reshaped wheel wells, along with a 1.5-inch lift, fit 35-inch BF Goodrich mud-terrain tires on 18×9-inch Method 701 eight-spoke wheels finished in white as a nod steel wagon wheels. In another vintage homage, this big hauler got a touch of wood paneling. The 3D wood stripe is not the usual billboard we’re used to seeing of the Brooks Stevens Wagoneers, but it’s appreciated nonetheless.

Just like the concept from last year, this Jeep ditched the second and third-row seats and second-row sunroof to make way for an access port to the Redtail Skyloft rooftop camper. This time, however, Kiel James Patrick helped with the interior design. The seat upholstery and bedding in the folding camper feature a matching print that incorporates classic Jeep models.

If you happen to be in Moab for this year’s Easter Jeep Safari, keep an eye out for these concepts as well as past concepts, as they’ll be taking to the trails for the week-long event to show what Jeep vehicles are all about.
