Unveiling the Innovative Rooftop Tent Concept
Jeep® Performance Parts (JPP) by Mopar has recently introduced an exciting new camping solution for outdoor enthusiasts with the launch of their Awning and Rooftop Tent (ARTT) concept. This cutting-edge system was unveiled during a significant event, showcasing its features that make it a must-have accessory for the Jeep Wrangler.
Features of the Awning and Rooftop Tent
The ARTT concept is designed specifically for the four-door Jeep Wrangler. It aims to enhance the outdoor experience by combining a premium, lightweight, low-profile awning with a rooftop tent. Developed in collaboration with Dometic, a leader in the mobile living sector, this concept serves as an integrated solution that promises convenience and style.
Unlike traditional rooftop tents that can hinder aerodynamics and add significant weight, the ARTT concept is constructed with a lightweight carbon-fiber shell. This innovative design allows it to attach directly to the Jeep Wrangler's roof without the need for a heavy roof rack, ensuring a seamless experience for Jeep owners.
Easy Setup and Accessibility
Setting up the tent is straightforward thanks to Dometic's AIR Frame Inflation technology, which ensures quick and efficient pitching. Additionally, the tent features an integrated awning that can extend out 270 degrees, providing ample shade and shelter.
Inside, the ARTT concept accommodates a queen-size mattress, making it a comfortable retreat after a long day of adventure. Notably, the tent can be accessed from inside the Jeep Wrangler through the removable freedom panels, which adds an extra layer of convenience for users. To enhance usability, the design includes a protective carbon-fiber step that ensures safety and accessibility while accessing the tent.
Adventure-Ready Design
The reveal of the ARTT system took place on the Jeep Wrangler 4xe Sunchaser concept, initially presented at a recent off-road event. The Sunchaser version boasts a solar flash and sleek satin black two-tone exterior, designed for serious outdoor adventurers who require a vehicle capable of handling various outdoor activities. This model is outfitted with features necessary for multi-day excursions, including a range of notable exterior modifications.
- 2-inch lift kit
- High-top steel fender flares for increased durability
- Side storage boxes equipped with MOLLE panels for gear organization
- Warn winch paired with a custom front guard
- 37-inch BFGoodrich KM3 mud-terrain tires
- Storage rack on the roof for additional gear

Inside the Jeep, several luxurious modifications provide a refined off-roading experience. Highlights include:
- Custom two-tone leather seating
- A leather-wrapped mid-bolster IP, door armrest, and center console
- Gloss black-painted interior trim pieces
- All-weather floor mats for easy maintenance
