JEEP WRANGLER RED ROCK: Tantalizing Jeep fans at the 2016 Chicago Auto Show is the Wrangler Red Rock concept, another example of the potential of customizing a production Jeep Wrangler with aftermarket Performance Parts from Mopar. Good news for buyers is that a serialized 50-unit special-edition production Wrangler inspired by the Red Rock prototype will be built. The concept on review includes Amaretto Brown Katzkin leather seats with silver accent stitching and a “Red Rock” embroidered seat back logo. Based off of the Wrangler Rubicon Hard Rock, the Red Rock concept comes equipped with Tru-Lok electronic locking differentials, the Rock-Trac transfer case and a 4:1 low-range ratio. The Red Rock concept was engineered with an astonishing 73.1:1 crawl ratio and manual transmission to scale obstacles others just dream about. Wrangler Red Rock concept-specific features include a power dome vented hood, new premium off-road rock rails, front and rear red tow hooks, commemorative Red Rock badge and Red Rock hood decal, low gloss Jeep badge, low gloss Granite Crystal off-road bumpers, and a body-color grille with low-gloss black grille throats and headlamp accents. Adding to the robust look and off-road capabilities are LED headlamps and fog lights, Jeep-branded CB radio, two-inch lift kit, 17-inch beadlock wheels finished in low gloss black; the bead lock rings are low gloss Granite Crystal – wrapped in rugged 35-inch BFG K02 all-terrain tires. The Wrangler Red Rock Concept includes an aftermarket Warn Rubicon winch, front and rear differential covers, and a reinforced swing gate and wheel mount. Chicago Auto Show Fact: Since 2002, Jeep and Mopar have collaborated on more than 50 unique concept vehicles for enthusiasts who attend the Chicago Auto Show. And, Mopar, trademarked in 1937 is a simple contraction of the words MOtor and PARts.
