Every year for half a century, off-roaders have been gathering for the Easter Jeep Safari in Moab, Utah, and for a decent chunk of that time, Jeep has been using the event as an excuse to build a fleet of cool concept trucks. 2016 is no exception -- in fact, it's an extra-special occasion for Jeep, which is celebrating its 75th birthday this year.

True to the Easter Jeep Safari concept tradition (and it is a tradition at this point), some of these trucks can more or less be created at home from the Mopar catalog, some hint at what is to come and some are just too cool to ever exist outside of the concept truck realm. Here's a quick look at all seven of this year's trucks.

The headline-grabber has got to be the 707-hp Jeep Trailcat, which is, get this, a Wrangler Hellcat. We're all about stuffing that 6.2-liter supercharged Hemi V8 into anything at hand, but is this a step too far? Nah. We crossed that bridge a long time ago; there's no looking back now.

In addition to the engine, the Wrangler upon which the Trailcat is based has been stretched a foot, and its windshield has been chopped. Front and rear axles are Dana 60s. It's equipped with a six-speed manual. We're sure it's a delight to drive down rocky trails.

At the other end of the Wrangler spectrum is the Jeep Shortcut, a Wrangler shortened by 12 inches that's meant to recall the Willys CJ-5. The distinctive paint color looks like it might be the "riverside orange" that adorned CJ-5s back in the 1970s; plaid seats and body color 17-inch steelies (wrapped in 35-inch BF Goodrich tires) add to the retro factor. It's been lifted 2 inches and has a pair of Dana 44 axles.

Next up, something completely different: The Jeep FC 150. It's more of a restomod than a concept; unlike the Mighty FC from a few years ago, this one still uses the original Forward Control body (dings and dents and all) but it's now sitting on a 2005 Wrangler chassis. Power comes from the legendary Jeep 4.0. The front axles is a Dana 44; the rear is a Dana 60. We bet you could build and sell these for a decent chunk of change.

We see a lot of Wrangler Unlimiteds that look like the Jeep Trailstorm in the mall parking lots of suburbia -- it's lifted, winch-equipped, wearing riot-proof steel bumpers and entirely too clean (at least in the press photos). That said, we're guessing it's quite capable on the trail with its Dana 44 axles, 37-inch tires and Fox shocks.

The mildest of the concepts seems to be Jeep Renegade Commander, which features a 2-inch lift, custom decals and a load of Mopar off-road parts, including rock rails and skid plates.

We should at least mention the Jeep Comanche, which is a El Caminoized Renegade with a 5-foot bed out back. We'll note that it's lifted 2 inches, equipped with a winch and powered by a 2.0-liter inline-four diesel. Is this the compact pickup the American market has been clamoring for? Ehhhhhhh...

Might be fun, anyway.

Finally, our favorite: The Jeep Crew Chief 715, a tribute to the Kaiser M715. If you've been following these Jeep Safari concepts over the years, you'll have noticed that Mopar designers have something of a fetish for the old Kaiser grille (and for good reason). Here, it's mated to a Wrangler Unlimited with a pickup bed in the back, which makes it much like the Nukizer concept from a few years ago but with an extra set of doors. It's lifted and equipped with 20-inch beadlock wheels, plus an onboard air system, a set of winches and more. Build it. Sell it.

The 2016 Easter Jeep Safari runs Sunday, March 20 to Sunday, March 27. There, we'll check out all these concepts in person, drive the cool ones, and dutifully report our findings to you.
