In fact, that’s a pretty good description of the concept Jeep that Nathan drove at this year’s 2012 Easter Jeep Safari. The Jeep engineers decided to build a very retro Gladiator like truck on a modern four door Wrangler. To make it a bit extra special they added a very retro interior bench seat and lengthened the bed of the pick-up to 6 feet to be able to locate a spare tire under the bed…old school style. Plus they also rounded up some 1960s tires and Wheels making the Mighty J-12 the only Jeep in Moab this year to sport a set of stylish hub caps.
