Jeep® Bug Out 4xe Concept

April 11, 2025 , Auburn Hills, Mich. -  While overlanding is not a new concept, the question of how to lighten the weight of gear, and especially of a rig, can come into play when planning remote, off-road adventures. Enter the Jeep® Bug Out 4xe concept, which started its journey as a four-door Jeep Wrangler 4xe Rubicon. The stripped-down, extended, off-road-capable vehicle was inspired by mixing the idea of ultra-lightweight camping and overlanding with a slightly different twist. Jeep brand designers embraced the spirit of ultralight camping in which weight management is key. The Jeep Bug Out is extensively customized and lightweighted to reflect what a responsible, modern-day mobile campsite could be. Because with overlanding, the journey itself is the focus, rather than the destination.
