Limited Edition 'RED ROCK' coming in 2016 - only 50 to be made

Based on the top-spec Wrangler Rubicon Hard Rock, the Red Rock features a manual transmission, next-generation Dana 44 live axles front and rear, 4.10:1 gears, a Rock-Trac transfer case, a vented power-dome hood, rock rails, and red tow hooks front and rear. Hood decals, low-gloss Granite Crystal bumpers, and low-gloss black grille inserts and headlight accents add some visual zing to the proceedings, while the gears and transfer case conspire to give the Red Rock a 73.1:1 crawl ratio.


The 35-inch BFGoodrich K02 All-Terrain T/A tires are held on by 17-inch beadlock wheels. A two-inch lift kit enhances clearance, while LED headlights and fog lights illuminate nighttime trail runs. A Jeep-branded CB radio allows you to live out your C.W. McCall fantasies either on- or off-road. And for yanking yourself or others out of trouble, the Red Rock’s got a Warn Rubicon winch bolted to the front.


Amaretto Brown seats are upholstered in—wait for it—Katzkin leather, with silver accent stitching and embroidered Red Rock logos. To commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Easter Jeep Safari, the Red Rock concept features a serialized grab-handle plaque.

Jeep has already said that the 50 copies will not have all the features of the show model. Just how much will be stripped out, is still anyone's guess. As far as we know, it might not be anything other than a Hard Rock in red with different decals and emblems.

I'm surprised that no one is asking what colors it will be offered in, since they don't like red. :D

For what it is worth, The person who called me, did say "They" will have to install the lift. He didn't seem overly excited lol

Carry on

Since the Red Rock has 35s from the factory, I wonder what suspension and axle improvements they have made for durability; axle C gussets or double cardan drive shafts?

It would be a good indicator of what people need to do running similar setups.

Only a few of you guys caught the parts in the articles that the production version will only be "inspired by the red rock concept" and in another write-up "influenced by the red rock concept", and later was stated "will share 'many' of the aspects of the red rock concept" and that "it's designed to show what one can get (after purchase) with Mopar and Jeep Performance parts (from a dealer)".

This will NOT (imo) come from the factory with 35's nor the lift, probably not the winch, etc. It will be a sticker package, interior accents, maybe black rims, steel bumpers, etc just like all the "special editions". As mentioned, some dealers might do one up here and there with the Mopar parts to complete the look.

All that said, the Red Rock concept is sweet. And whoever showed that Africa/Safari edition that thing is amazing!

Pretty much what it says...

When the Jeep Wrangler Red Rock special-edition model is produced next year, it will feature some of the content shown on the Red Rock Concept. Select items showcased on the Concept will be available as aftermarket parts from Mopar.
I agree with D-Man's conclusion.

Maybe I am wrong, but I am assuming that Jeep chose its words carefully.

From m998dna's quote of Jeep, "It will feature some..." is way different than "it will feature most..." or even "it will feature many...". To me, the use of the word "some" means something more close to "fewest".

Though, Jeep can always surprise us, and 49 lucky individuals will own one of the coolest factory Wranglers, Jeep has ever produced.

Is this something new from MOPAR as well?

Or is the "Jeep Performance Parts Off-Road ready kit" a Petty Garage thing?

Will not be sold as a kit. All parts are ala cart except the CB is N/A. The recommended group of parts is to duplicate the SEMA vehicle. I don't have pricing for the parts group. Buyers will be contacted by Petty garage for upfit parts. You can choose to add or delete as you wish. Parts group is NOT mandatory on the Red Rock, you can take it as is from the dealer.


Can't explain the trans cost difference.

And I would guess the 25 that are going to be sold at the top volume dealerships sell at a premium over MSRP. I still think these are going to be worth huge money in the secondary market as they will sell out quickly, with the MT prob bringing the most money due to only 2 being made. I'm with you though I would get the Auto as well. I'm too old for a manual but still way too young for a Buick.

I would really like to know how much the complete set of mods would cost.
 
#179 ·
Well... I'll put my name in the lottery for one of the 25. The 25 going to dealers will get huge ADMs.

I've seen ADMs as high as $20K when Ford reintroduced the Shelby GT500.

I know a guy that was part of the lottery for bidding on the 2005 Ford GT when it was reintroduced. He paid $250K for his Ford GT... and that was before tax and license.

You should see that last photos I have of that car - it's really a sad story.

Other than the 2 manual trans vehicles they are all being built the same.
If you choose to have it sent to Petty Garage for upfit to SEMA show level that's up to you. It is NOT mandatory to add those parts.
There are way more than 12 on the list, it will be cut off at 175.
This may be the last special edition JK made with the new platform coming.

Chocolate is not on the option list.

What if we change our minds about sending to Petty's Garage?.. can we change to opt-out of that decision before the order is placed? ... assuming our name is selected.

In other words I may decide to have the local dealer do some of the work.. or buy a Plain Jane RR...

I'm a Libra...

What turns out to be collectible or not is anyone's guess and usually only History tells that truth.

"Limited Editions" create a manufactured excitement. Whether that is due to limited numbers or special equipment or whatever.
I have no doubt they will sell every one and I think that is great for many reasons.
I actually drive mine so moth balling isn't really an option for me. Just not my thing.

It appears all the mods that make the RR the RR can be purchased in the aftermarket. Obviously, the Katskin embroidered Red Rock tan leather seats cannot be purchased.

WaltA brought up a great point about the VIN. Regardless, I'm sure we will see many RR replica builds down the road. Don't know if the HR can be ordered in the same color combo as the RR though.
