00:00Hi, I'm Vince Calante. I'm the head of Design for Jeep and I'm here to introduce you to one of our
00:07Easter Jeep Safari concepts for 2025. So this one we call the Convoy and this started life as a 2025
00:15Gladiator Mojave and what we wanted to do is give it a really military inspired look. So the first
00:24thing we did is look at our heritage and we did a completely new custom front end inspired by our
00:2960s and 70s military we call the J trucks of the time so that's where you get this kind of slanted
00:34forward front. This one has high fenders on it as well to support these 40 inch km3 tires. Now you'll
00:42notice the tread pattern on these is super blocky and we wanted this for rock crawling but mainly
00:47the big centerpiece of this is the front end and the super military inspired look. You'll notice
00:52the headlight upper headlights and lower fog lights are both off-road specific super bright yellow
00:58lights that'll help you during the night. With the military heritage one of the most powerful ways
01:04to show that is color so on this one we're featuring an all-new color we call ghost it's finished in a
01:09matte with a matte clear coat. To complement that we have this chocolate brown canvas doors and roof
01:16a color that we haven't we haven't used before and then on the inside you'll notice that same ghost gray
01:23and a lot of black but then kind of a surprise of this aqua color that we put inside that was inspired
01:30by the military aircraft of the past. I think from the side you'll really see the lift that you get
01:35from these 40 inch tires and also we put an extra two inches and there's a suspension. Here we're at
01:40the back of the convoy and first thing you'll notice here is that the lift gate has been we've changed the
01:47letters out with a more military inspired letter again from our past and from this angle you can
01:53probably just see a peak of the interior color which is a super bright aqua you wonder this is
01:59military inspired everything else is drab why is the interior this aqua this aqua blue aqua green color
02:05so we were looking at military aircraft and we noticed a lot of them use contrasting colors like
02:10greens and blues and what that does is it makes everything around you disappear so that you can focus
02:16just on the gauges which in this one we've finished with a gloss black finish around them again to
02:22help focus your eyes so a little cool story they're inspired by some of our military aircraft
