Jeep Performance Parts (JPP) by Mopar has announced a groundbreaking conceptual camping solution for the Jeep Wrangler with the unveiling of the Awning and Rooftop Tent (ARTT) concept at Overland Expo West in Flagstaff, Arizona. This innovative system, designed specifically for the four-door Jeep Wrangler, promises to enhance the overlanding experience for Jeep enthusiasts.
A Seamless Camping Solution: The ARTT concept is a premium, lightweight, low-profile, all-in-one awning and rooftop tent system created through a collaboration between JPP and Dometic, a global leader in mobile living solutions. This partnership has resulted in a design that seamlessly integrates with the Jeep Wrangler, offering both convenience and functionality for outdoor adventures.
Lightweight and Aerodynamic Design: Addressing common challenges associated with rooftop tents, such as poor aerodynamics and added weight, the ARTT concept features a carbon-fiber shell. This construction makes it both lightweight and aerodynamic, eliminating the need for a heavy roof rack system as it efficiently and safely attaches directly to the Jeep Wrangler’s roof.
Integrated Tent and Awning Features: The ARTT concept includes an easy-to-pitch tent utilizing Dometic’s AIR Frame Inflation technology, allowing for quick and effortless setup. Additionally, it features an integrated awning that swings out 270 degrees, providing ample sheltered space. The tent comfortably accommodates a queen-size mattress. A unique feature of the ARTT is the interior access to the tent through the removed freedom panels of the Jeep Wrangler, along with an interior carbon-fiber step that protects the center console.
Perfect for Adventure Seekers: Mike Koval, senior vice president and head of sales operations for the Jeep brand, emphasized the appeal of the new concept: “The lightweight and compact JPP Awning and Rooftop Tent concept is the perfect accessory for adventure-seeking Jeep Wrangler owners, whether they are overlanding across long distances or decide to go on a spur-of-the-moment quick weekend getaway.” He also expressed excitement about consumer feedback on this latest innovation for Jeep enthusiasts at Overland Expo West.
Showcased on the Wrangler 4xe Sunchaser Concept: The JPP ARTT system is currently being showcased on the Jeep Wrangler 4xe Sunchaser concept, which previously debuted at the 2025 Easter Jeep Safari in Moab, Utah. The Wrangler 4xe Sunchaser, with its striking solar flash and satin black two-tone exterior, exemplifies the ultimate outdoor adventurer and now demonstrates its capability to carry essential gear for extended outdoor activities. The Sunchaser concept also features several notable exterior modifications, including a 2-inch lift kit, concept vented high-top steel fender flares, concept side storage boxes with an integrated MOLLE panel, a Warn winch with a custom front winch guard/push bar, 37-inch BFGoodrich KM3 mud-terrain tires, a roof storage rack, and rock rails. Interior modifications include custom two-tone leather seats, custom leather wrap on various trim pieces, gloss black painted interior trim, all-weather floor mats, and an IP multi-accessory rail.
Developed Through Stellantis Star*Up Program: The JPP ARTT concept system was developed through the Stellantis Star*Up intrapreneurship program. This initiative encourages Stellantis employees to foster their entrepreneurial spirit and adopt a consumer-focused mindset to create innovative mobility products and services.
