Low Down is a concept that pays homage to a concept. In this case, it's the Wrangler Lower 40 shown 15 Safaris ago. It had the aforementioned 5.7L V8, but the kicker was that it wore 40-inch tires while maintaining the stock ride height with no lift kit in sight.

The Low Down is based on the Wrangler Rubicon 392 that, as noted, rode off into the sunset this year, but it makes the Lower 40 twice as good by shoving 42-inch BF Goodrich Krawler mud-terrain tires on its 20-inch beadlock wheels. . Staying true to the previous model, the Low Down retains the stock ride height but features custom carbon fender flares to provide adequate tire clearance. The idea is that the Low Down maintains a relatively low center of gravity, but its increased ground clearance and shortened bumpers give it better approach and departure angles. It also has heavier-duty Dana 60 axles with 5:83 gears.

Its engine is a standard 6.4L V8 that produces 475 horsepower, and we want you to know for sure that the hood has a transparent dome with eight holes. The name of the paint is Poisoned Apple Red; rear door handles missing; and the seats are black leather with fabric inserts. Jeep designers also point out that the vehicle doesn't have any infotainment screen, as selectable exhaust settings of Loud and Entirely Obnoxious offer "all the entertainment you need."
