As its name implies, the Jeep Wayout turns Jeep's new pickup truck into the ultimate overlanding vehicle to strike a way out into the wilderness away from civilization. With a Gladiator Rubicon painted Gator Green as the starting point, a 2-inch lift kit is installed to provide additional ground clearance. A set of old-school, 17-inch steel wheels wrapped with 37-inch Falken Wildpeak M/T tires ups clearance further to better clear obstacles. When the going gets real tough, a 12,000-pound Warn winch is also installed on the steel front bumper.

Powering the concept is the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 bolted to an eight-speed automatic transmission that's for the most part stock. The only exception is that the engine breathes through a Jeep Performance Parts snorkel helping it trudge through water better. Carrying extra fuel isn't a problem with two fuel cans integrated in the bedsides and on-board air compressor enables people to venture even further off the grid.
