With overlanding still a high-viable segment in the Jeep community, the brand often likes to come out with a concept or two that embraces that fervent crowd. And the Bug Out Wrangler 4xe fits that niche this year.
This concept was a four-door vehicle at one point, but the rear doors were filled in along the way, so what is left is a two-door long box design. Oh, and those two doors are also trimmed half-doors for those who love that idea and its lighter-weight capability.
In keeping with that idea, designers aimed to really take off the poundage as overlanders tend to fill up their rig with all kinds of stuff anyway, so why not make the actual vehicle lighter right from the start.
The stripped-down Bug Out only has glass in the windshield, a 12-inch extended body along with a drop down tailgate, high departure-angle rear bumper, front steel bumper, custom hood, LED headlights and a remolded roof raised four inches for additional interior space. Also, Jeep included interior attachment points for a hammock so the vehicle’s interior can actually turn into a sleeping space when needed.
Finishing off the design is a matte silver paint color with yellow accents, 37-inch BFG KM3 tires on 18-inch lightweight Forgeline wheels, high clearance flares, battery packs behind the front doors and an included electric off-road E-scooter.
