Articles about the Easter Jeep Safari are starting to appear in print.
Here's what Truck Trend had to say about the Mopar Underground
project vehicles that appeared at the event:

This is the Jeep Cherokee Chief that Mopar Underground prepared
for the Safari. Mechanical changes include a Rubicon 4-to-1 transfer case,
Rubicon Dana 44 axles, a 4.5-inch long-arm suspension kit, and
37-inch Goodyear MT/R tires on AEV wheels, plus a 6.1-liter Hemi V-8!
There's a thread over on ifsja.org that details what was done to this Jeep.
The most interesting part to me was the adaptation of the Rubicon Express long arm kit to the chassis. Vewy niiice.
