- The annual Easter Jeep Safari takes place in Moab, Utah. To celebrate the event, Jeep's come up with a host of concepts.
- This is the new Jeep Safari concept. It's designed to offer passengers a great view of the surroundings, with 'windoors' made of aluminium and clear vinyl.
- The two rear bucket seats are turned outwards, making it easier for passengers to see outside. Other upgrades include 35-inch tyres, skid plates and steel bumpers.
- Wanna go fast? Then you'll need the Jeep Quicksand, which packs a stack-injected 6.4-litre Hemi and a six-speed manual gearbox.
- The Trailpass is based on the all-new Jeep Compass. It gets a little 1.5-inch lift, custom interior trim and all-terrain tyres.
- It also features a host of Jeep Performance parts, including the roof rack and rock sliders.
- Need to be seen? Then you'll want the Jeep Luminator. As the name suggests, it's all about demonstrating high-powered lighting systems.
- It packs seven-inch projected LED headlights, LED tail lamps, LED spotlights, LED auxiliary lighting and cornering fog lights. Oncoming drivers who won't dip their high beams best look out...
- The Switchback shows off a host of Mopar and Jeep Performance parts. It's got upgraded axles, heavy-duy underbody protection and remote reservoir dampers.
- The half doors and 'Safari' hard top are the real stand-out features of this concept, however.
- It's the 25th anniversary of the Grand Cherokee this year, so Jeep gave this ZJ a cosmetic overhaul to celebrate.
- We've seen the CJ66 before, but it will also be on show at the Moab event.
- It packs a 5.7-litre Hemi and a six-speed manual transmission.
- It gets Viper seats, stronger axles and a lift kit, too.
- Pietro Gorlier, head of parts and service for FCA said: "These concept vehicles are a perfect example of how off-road enthusiasts can use Jeep Performance Parts."

It's the 51st Easter Jeep Safari this year – and the company's bringing along more than just some chocolate eggs...
