Take A Look At This Year's Crop Of Wild Jeep Concepts
Jeep's array of seven new vehicle concepts.
It's that time of year again: the 59th annual Easter Jeep Safari kicks off on April 12 in Moab, Utah and it's guaranteed to be a spectacular time. With features like Hell's Revenge and Poison Spider carved from Navajo sandstone, Moab trail riders will find everything from easy-breezy to super-challenging options.
Jeep likes to take the temperature up a notch with a new batch of concept vehicles every year, and the 2025 version doesn't disappoint. Seven all-new custom Jeep 4x4 concept builds debut at Easter Jeep Safari this year, giving the brand a chance to show off its creative chops. Jeep calls Moab its 'home away from home' and is offering sponsor trail rides in partnership with Red Rock 4-Wheelers club on Tuesday, April 15 (Hell's Revenge) and Wednesday, April 16 (Steel Bender).
Take a look at these seven concepts, starting with my favorite:
Jeep Rewind Concept
If you were a teenager in the 80s in and 90s, you're going to love the Rewind Concept. Wrapped in Grimace purple exterior paint color with custom graphics, the Rewind is splashed with custom retro print inserts that will look 'gag me with a spoon' to some and 'totally awesome' to others. Equipped with a 2.4-liter inline-four engine and a custom mesh sun bonnet, this is open-air freedom at its retro best.
Jeep Blueprint Concept
Festooned with 35-plus accessories, all labeled with QR codes that lead to the Mopar eStore site and their corresponding part numbers and specs, the Blueprint Concept is a showcase for options. It also includes a Warn winch, 37-inch wheels, tube doors, a snorkel kit, Katzkin leather seat covers, and more.
Jeep J6 Honcho Concept
The J6 Honcho Concept starts with a two-inch lift kit, 17-inch bronze wheels, and 37-inch BFGoodrich KM3 mud terrain tires. It also includes a box that's 12 inches longer than the standard Gladiator bed. Jeep says it mixes the classic late 1970s Jeep Honcho theme with cJeep Performance Parts and accessories from Mopar.
Jeep Gladiator High Top Honcho Concept
Staying in the 1970s theme, the Gladiator High Top Honcho Concept includes a DECKED truck bed storage system, a modified front bumper from American Expedition Vehicles, and a color-matched hardtop. Inside, the High Top Honcho sports tan-and-black leather seats, a bright pedal kit, and door sill guards. It has custom painted steel wheels and massive 40-inch BFGoodrich All-Terrain tires, which makes it extra rugged. Especially with the AccuAir adjustable air suspension.
Jeep Bug Out 4xe Concept
To 'bug out' means to take off, or depart quickly. Jeep's Bug Out 4xe Concept is ready to do just that with a focus on lightweighting. Designed to be a mobile campsite, the Bug Out 4xe Concept is extended by 12 inches with a Jeep Gladiator-style drop tailgate and high-departure rear tube bumper and front half doors. Here's the really fun part, though: it includes a Jeep electric off-road E-scooter that gets up to 40 minutes of continuous use.
Jeep Convoy Concept
Finished in special-edition matte Ghost Ops exterior paint, the Convoy Concept has chocolate brown canvas half doors and top/bed canopy. Its 40-inch BFG Krawler tires are made for serious off-roading and the 12,000-lb. Warn Zeon winch seals the deal.
Jeep Wrangler 4xe Sunchaser Concept
This one, I think, is the prettiest one, with a solar flash and satin black two-tone exterior and two-inch lift kit. The roof storage rack looks good in black and adds smart functionality to the Jeep Wrangler 4xe Sunchaser Concept. Even the lighting is a concept: the off-road pivoting light bar accessory concept keeps the trail illuminated.

Deputies: Holland Township rear-end crash sends 1 to hospital
HOLLAND TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WOOD) — Deputies say a woman was hospitalized Friday after a rear-end crash in Holland Township. It happened just after 11:40 a.m. on Riley Street near 100th Avenue, according to the Ottawa County Sheriff's Office. A 44-year-old woman was heading east in a white Jeep, according to the sheriff's office. At the same time, two cars were stopped on Riley at a traffic signal. Deputies say the woman rear-ended the two stopped cars, then went off the road, through a fence and into the backyard of a nearby home. The woman was taken to the hospital with injuries that were not considered life-threatening, according to the sheriff's office. Other people suffered minor injuries.

China issues rare earth licenses to suppliers of top 3 U.S. automakers, sources say: Reuters
China has granted temporary export licenses to rare-earth suppliers of the top three U.S. automakers, two sources familiar with the matter told Reuters, as supply chain disruptions begin to surface from Beijing's export curbs on those materials. At least some of the licenses are valid for six months, the two sources said, declining to be named because the information is not public. It was not immediately clear what quantity or items are covered by the approval or whether the move signals China is preparing to ease the rare-earths licensing process, which industry groups say is cumbersome and has created a supply bottleneck. China's decision in April to restrict exports of a wide range of rare earths and related magnets has tripped up the supply chains central to automakers, aerospace manufacturers, semiconductor companies and military contractors around the world. China's dominance of the critical mineral industry, key to the green energy transition, is increasingly viewed as a key point of leverage for Beijing in its trade war with U.S. President Donald Trump. China produces around 90% of the world's rare earths, and auto industry representatives have warned of increasing threats to production due to their dependency on it for those parts. Suppliers of three big U.S. automakers, General Motors, Ford and Jeep-maker Stellantis got clearance for some rare earth export licenses on Monday, one of the two sources said. GM and Ford each declined to comment. Stellantis said it is working with suppliers "to ensure an efficient licensing process" and that so far the company has been able to "address immediate production concerns without major disruptions." China's Ministry of Commerce did not immediately respond to a faxed request for comment. China's critical-mineral export controls have become a focus on Trump's criticism of Beijing, which he says has violated the truce reached last month to roll back tariffs and trade restrictions. On Thursday, Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping had a lengthy phone call to iron out trade differences. Trump said in social-media post that "there should no longer be any questions respecting the complexity of Rare Earth products." Both sides said teams will meet again soon. U.S. auto companies are already feeling the impact of the restrictions. Ford shut down production of its Explorer SUV at its Chicago plant for a week in May because of a rare-earth shortage, the company said. The approval for the auto suppliers follows a green light granted to a U.S. electronics firm's suppliers last week and another one issued earlier this week to suppliers of a U.S. non-auto company, the first person said, declining to name the companies. "We have to give the Chinese the benefit of the doubt that they're working through this. It's up to them to show that they are not weaponizing it," said the person. Reuters reported on Wednesday that China has introduced a tracking system for its rare earth magnet sector in a move to improve its control over the sector and crackdown on smuggling.
