Never too early for SEMA

Jeep has already unveiled 2 JK’s for this years SEMA show.

The JT (Jeep Truck) is not quite as nicely done as the Gladiator concept from a couple years ago but remains very true to what it is….A Wrangler Unlimited with only 2 doors. This is also similar to the supplier AEV’s Jeep Brute pickup truck conversion. I pass one of these every morning and it is one sweet little pickup.

The other Jeep is called Wrangler Ultimate sporting Liquid Charcoal Pearl paint (which you would never want to take off-road), 18 inch rims with 35 inch tires and a 3 inch lift. Exterior chrome trim finishes it off. I realize chrome works well at a show but Jeep enthusiasts don’t want to see chrome, leave that to GM and Hummer. Last year at SEMA I saw a ’67 Mustang trimmed out with a brushed nickel finish, now that was fresh and looked great. Slap that on a Jeep with some Gun Metal finished rims and you have a winner in my book.

For me the best part of this concept is how they finished off the interior. My only complaint with the new JK is the bland interior. All they did with this Jeep is paint a few parts and add a splash of color and it looks ten times better. A few small details go a long way. They look like easy customizations for the do-it-your-selfer.

Glad to see them, I have drooling over the new JK Unlimited since it came out and am waiting to get a hold of my own. If you have the same feelings as I do, go to SEMA this year. They were everywhere last year.
