See If You Can Spot the Jeep Easter Eggs

UntitledQuick question for Jeep lovers. How closely have you looked at your Jeep? Think about it for a second. The reason I’m asking is that you might have missed something. A detail that was put in that one the most dedicated fans would not only find, but appreciate.

The Toledo Blade has done a little digging into the ‘easter eggs’ that the Jeep has been putting on their vehicles. They are tributes to the original Willys model from 60 some years ago.

Take a gander at the windshield of the Jeep Wrangler, for example. There’s a decal of the infamous front four rimmed grille honoring the legacy of the Jeep from World War 2. More of them are littered on various places.

It’s not just the Wrangler that has easter eggs. On the new 2013 model of the Wrangler Sahara and Rubicons, there’s a small Willys Jeep silhouette. The purpose is to mark the 10th anniversary of the Wrangler Rubicon. That same silhouette will be tucked away in the headlamp assembly of the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee.

According to Ralph Gilles, VP for product design at Chrysler, the practice began a few years ago. “It’s something that started three or four years ago and it’s really taken off. Now I have to almost control it. They can get out of hand. But (designers) are so proud of what they work on, they really are. It’s almost like actively trying to leave a legacy for the next generation.”

Take a second look at your Jeep, see if there is something there that you didn’t notice before. Never know what you might find if you look for it.
