It's that time of year again. Jeep's annual Easter Safari kicks off the first week of April, and as in (most) years past, the 4x4 builder is on location with a collection of concept trucks that may or may not hint at future options, accessories — and maybe even entire vehicles. Looking at you, Magneto. This year's mix includes a return of that electric project truck (now in version 3.0), along with four other in-house designs from the Jeep team. Jeep Performance Parts tagged along as usual with two more builds of their own. We'll have more from the field once we get a chance to play around with Jeep's toys in Moab. Let's dive in. Jeep Scrambler 392 ConceptThe 392 Scrambler "adds lightness" to the V8-powered Wrangler formula. The 392 is currently available only as a four-door, but this concept looks at what kind of performance machine you could make by trimming the fat off of Jeep's big bruiser. While it still rides on the 392's standard four-door wheelbase, the Scrambler has been chopped down and shortened to further concentrate its mass near its center. It's fitted with multiple custom carbon-fiber exterior body panels; most of the rest were just stripped off completely. The blue plaid interior came out of the just-for-fun bin, as Jeep's engineers say the Scrambler's only real mission is being "real rowdy-fast."

TranscriptMARK ALLEN: Next up, really cool project. This we're calling the Scrambler 392. It's based off of a 392 Wrangler. Of course, those are all four door. We turn this into a two door.
Left the wheelbase the same. 40-inch tires. Light weighted the vehicle by taking off a lot of the pieces we didn't need. Carbon-fiber hood, fenders, the whole quarter panel.
This also features AccuAir's new air suspension. I'll demonstrate. Has about five inches of travel or movement to it up and down.
And then the back of the vehicle, which is sort of a truck style-- in fact, we used the last 10 inches of a Gladiator pickup to create the back, including the tailgate. 392 Scrambler.
