One of the most impressive studies is the Mighty FC, inspired not by the Mercedes-Benz Unimog, as some might think, but by the Jeep Forward Control that was built from 1956 to 1965.
The modern day 'Forward Control' is loosely based on the Wrangler Rubicon with Jeep repositioning the cabin over and ahead of the front axle and lengthening the wheelbase. It also added a custom built drop-side cargo box, while the Wrangle-based interior has been enhanced with heavy-duty Katzkin leather and a unique color scheme.
Starting with the Trailhawk study, it adorns the Grand Cherokee with a more unique appearance through a new color theme that combines a Stone White finish for the body with Mineral Gray and Red accents that can be found throughout including the grille surround, mirror caps and even the new 18-inch alloy wheels.
