Real Jeeps, the ones you see out on the trail in Moab or the Mojave, are rarely stock. In fact, if you’re out there and you see a stock Jeep, you should pull over and ask them if they’re lost and need help, because they probably are. There’s nothing Jeep owners like better than customizing their rigs: jack them up, add a couple racks, spray paint some graphics all over the outside…
It was the latter approach that was celebrated at the 2015 SEMA Show. There were more Jeeps at the show than any other SUV, according to SEMA. The Jeep was officially “The Hottest SUV” as measured by the number of SUVs on the show floor. SEMA officials actually go through all the halls and count everything. But anyone who walked around the show this year couldn’t help but see that there were Jeeps everywhere: jacked up, modified and sporting spray-on bedliner paint jobs. Here are our favorites.
