At this point, we've salivated all we can salivate over this year's
Easter Jeep Safari Moab concepts. The
J-12 and
Mighty FC will always hold a special place in our hearts, and now
Chrysler has released a video describing how the vehicles will help shape future
Jeep product development. While it's no surprise we won't see a new Forward Control lounging on
dealer lots any time soon,
Jeep may shift some of the paint options shown on the concepts to production. Jeep famously brought the portal axles found under the Mighty FC concept to the Mopar accessory catalog after receiving such a strong reception at last year's East Jeep
Safari, and other elements of the concepts may become a reality as well.
The biq question, of course, is whether or not Jeep will ever make the leap to building a legitimate small pickup. The company's executives have repeatedly acknowledged consumer demand for a diesel-powered model of that ilk in the past, and the company says that it is currently taking those views into consideration as it develops the next generation Wrangler. That means that we won't be seeing the J-12 on the street any time soon, either. Hit the jump to see the video for yourself.
