No, I didn't. That's one of the concepts Jeep plans to show at this year's Easter Jeep Safari in Moab. I like how they've lengthened the tub about 6" behind the axle.

I'll be attending EJS and I'm looking forward to seeing the concepts this year. They've also got another FSJ-style concept they're showing, and I've got an FSJ concept in the works too .

 

Let's see now... raised roof - check. Side-mount jerry cans - check (on my LJ Safari, not yet on my JK Safari). Opening rear windows in the hardtop - Nope. Alpine windows in the roof - Nope. Anyone seen a photo of the rear? I wonder if it's got a barn door?

 

Jeff You're Making Us Want A 4 Door Safari Conversion..

 

I guess if I wanted to get my Safari Cab into production now would be a great time to do it to take advantage of all the publicity the concept Jeep will be generating .

 

Apparently the Africa concept does have a barn door, just like the Safari Cabs .

 

We have a mopar mole on the forum...

 

Jeff's concept is better.
Uses an existing Jeep, retains the removable hardtop, has sliding windows or storage space in place of the windows, and looks 100% better.
Plus, he came up with beefier hinges, while Jeep is just slapping a set of regular door hinges on the sheetmetal.

 

Thanks, I agree! And mine probably has a better chance of getting to market

 

Long term.. Jeff I see jeep approach you and attempt to license your design for any forthcoming jeeps. plausible?.

 

I doubt it, there are lots of really smart people at Jeep, I don't think they need my help. But if they ever contact me I'll be happy to discuss it with them.
