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.

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

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.
