Each year Jeep has its famous Easter Safari and at
the event some very cool concepts are shown off. One of the concepts this year
is the 4Speed designed to be light, quick, and nimble. The 4speed has lots of
performance thanks to shed weight with a carbon fiber hood, carbon fiber fender
flares, and a carbon fiber rear tub with perforated aluminum.
The vehicle also has a custom cage and profile with
lots of modifications from stock. The 4speed is 22-inches shorter than normal,
with a stock wheelbase. Dana 44 front and rear axles with 4.10 gears and
18-inch wheels are used.
The wheels are shod in 35-inch BFG Mud Terrain
Tires. The interior is highly customized and power for the Jeep is from a 2.0L
turbo four. The transmission is an 8-speed automatic, despite the name 4Speed
hinting at less forward gears.
