In a recent announcement, Chrysler's Mopar parts division will unveil four new concepts at the 44th Annual Easter Jeep Safari in Moab, Utah on March 27. The lineup will include the Jeep Patriot Extreme, Jeep Wrangler J7, Jeep Wrangler Trail Boss, and Ram Power Wagon.

The Wrangler Trail Boss is "a two-door Jeep Wrangler Rubicon that is built for serious off-road duty," states the release, although the details are skimpy. It looks more civilized than the J7, yet still sports a lift kit plus larger wheels and tires.
While these aren't full-on concept cars featuring unique body designs or new advanced technologies, they are more likely to get the nod at least via components available through Mopar at your Chrysler dealer's parts counter.
