Description[]
The 1998 Jeep Jeepster was a concept vehicle created to make a crossover with all the off-road capability of a Jeep with the interior of a sports car. Jeep wanted it to be as fun to drive as it was functional. It had the same 4.7-liter, 16-valve, V8 engine of the the 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The vehicle could be lowered to 5 3/4 from the ground, and raised to 9 3/4 inches through the flip of a console switch.
