2016 SEMA : KEG Artic Frog Jeep JK Wrangler on Tracks

[wayoflife]

A company called KEG, a "digital garage" that I believe makes illustrations of vehicles brought out this Jeep JK Wrangler on tracks and they call it, the Artic Frog. I have to say, it just might be the only Jeep at the 2016 SEMA show that looks somewhat correct wearing a Fab Four Darth Vader mask.

Finally, a good use for the Fab Four fenders. They actually work here.

Looks like it should be in a James Bond movie or perhaps part of Cobra's winter battle gear in G.I. Joe.

Yeah here the over the top all goes together.

The grill works because the forward leaning triangular lines match the basic shape of the tracks. I still think the windshield blocking lightbar/frame thing is fugly and very impractical.

Do these tracks not need heavy duty axles? Looks like the ones under there are stock

Probably that's all they need to be is stock, since it'll probably just used to drive off the trailer and onto some carpet for a show and nothing else.:doh:

I fully expect to see this thing in the next go red monster pro bull wings video.

I bet the tracks would be fun... for a minute.

This thing was headed to CO right after the show. Keg was taking it and a professional video crew (from Velocity channel I think) to get it in action. They have a clip of it going thru Vegas already - crazy looking. I think they said up to 45 mph for 15 minutes on pavement - I'm sure it's better in snow. I agree with the so-wrong-it's-right feel of the build. Keg Media does TONS of renderings/concepts for SEMA. Eventually the Frog is to be auctioned for the Chris Kyle Frog Foundation.:usa-flag:

I still hate the Vader mask. I just can't get over how fugly it is....

 

[RMC2]

I love Mattracks. And white jeeps, but I will pass on the outside parts.

This is because the bumper design is a direct copy of a much older piece that you used to see on TJ's and CJ's called - a snow-plow. LOL. One could argue a direct lineage to the 'cattle catchers' fixed to the front of steam engines as they criss-crossed the Western Territories. Either way, useless for moving snow and I expect even worse at protecting you from cows, it's a damn good thing it's so attractive or you'd be looking at the kind of error history would record as utterly destructive of brand credibility and loyalty.
