But the Jeep Wrangler is not going to be overly pimped-out. In fact, Mopar is keeping all the enhancements under its hood and chassis. The “Jeep Lower Forty Concept” features 40-inch x 13.5-inch tires mounted on Mopar’s 20-inch forged-aluminum wheels. Underneath the driver will find an AEV 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 conversion kit.

This was added to a stock, two-door Jeep Wrangler Rubicon without the use of a suspension lift. The team’s goal was to achieve added ground clearance without dramatically altering the vehicle’s center of gravity. The team removed copious amounts of body metal in order to provide room for 40-inch meats. Three inches are chopped from the windshield frame and a 10-degree rake is added.

Custom touches throughout the interior & exterior include front and rear fender flares are 1-inch wider and are located 4 inches higher than a stock Jeep Wrangler, and a color-matched center console and instrument panel. Seats are re-covered with Mopar’s Katzkin leather package in a two-tone scheme. Replacing the carpet is a durable, spray-in truck-bed liner. Rugged Mopar floor mats complete the theme.
