Jeep Is Back With its Easter Safari in Moab After a year off – thank you pandemic – Jeep lets its freak flag fly once more

This is an interesting one in that the soft top the Wrangler is so well known for – especially in two-door trim – has been replaced by a hard top with a sunroof in the Orange Peelz. To open things up a little more, however, we once again see the application of the half-doors with no side windows. What’s cool about that is the grab handles inside the Jeep can be reached from the outside, making entrance easier. The windows it does have, meanwhile – namely, the windshield – is finished in what Jeep is calling “Gorilla Glass” which is thicker and more chip-resistant than standard.

Other exterior enhancements include 37-inch” BF Goodrich mud tires with 17-inch beadlock wheels, special steel fenders, Warn winch and 2-inch lift kit with Fox shocks.

Inside, we see yet another appearance of the plaid motif, as well as body colour-matching inserts and all-weather floor mats with drainage holes underneath. Which, obviously, would be pretty important considering there are no side windows to protect from the elements.
