    Jeep, throughout the ages, has always conveyed an air of rugged sophistication – the car that every adventurous person wants in their possession.

    The American based company has revealed that each year they give their engineers and technicians free rein to express their creativity and build a range of outlandish concept 4x4s, which are then showcased at the company’s annual Easter Safari event in Moab, Utah.

    And this year the amazing people at Jeep have conceptualised the J6.

    Take it away Cars.co.za:

    Essentially a single-cab Gladiator, the J6 gains a 50 mm body lift courtesy of trick suspension and rolls enormous 37-inch tyres, seated on 17-inch beadlock rims. To accommodate those huge tyres the J6 features extensively flared and oversized wheel arches.

    Powering the J6 is Jeep’s 3.6-litre naturally-aspirated V6, powering up to 209 kW and 347 Nm. As is the case with all comprehensively equipped Wrangler platform Jeep 4x4s, the J6 has lockable differentials and an extremely powerful low-range transfer case, for the express purpose of conquering extreme off-road terrain.

    But even though the J6 is just a concept it looks pretty close to Jeep’s new double cab bakkie, the Gladiator.

    In a global bakkie market where Toyota’s antiquated Land Cruiser and Nissan’s Patrol are the only true extreme terrain single-cab bakkies left, there could be an opportunity for Jeep with its more modern and capable J6.

    Here it is. She’s a beauty:

    Even though I’m not too clued up on bakkies, I’ll be looking out for the Gladiator on the roads.
