10 Jeep Easter Eggs Hidden in Plain View
The Jeep has been around for a long long time. In appreciation of this, Jeep has seen fit to sprinkle little nods to the past throughout their vehicles for eagle-eyed owners to spot.
1. Inspiration from the past
If you look carefully at the Jeep Wrangler, you'll find many Easter Eggs that pay homage to the the Willy's model that started the Jeep craze 60 plus years ago. Easter Eggs in the automotive world serve many functions. Some are more for style, others to locate new ways to make driving more comfortable, and others are to improve car function. It seems that many of the Eggs reported in the Wrangler serve as a design cue that nods to Jeep's special past.

2. Handlebars
On the Wrangler's windshield, where the front seat passenger’s forward grab bar is located, each of the four rims are small styling cues that date back to the Jeep’s heritage as a do-all troop hauler in World War II. Chrysler's vice president for product design says that the need to create useful and interesting "Easter Eggs" has really taken off. For the designers "it's like actively creating a legacy for another generation."

9. Grille in the bulbs
Keep your eyes open for more depictions of the Jeep grille sprinkled throughout your Jeep. For example, even the rear view housing mirror also has a built in grille on it's side profile. You'll also find them on every door speaker, and even on the inside of the lift gate!
