Jeep vehicles hide a bunch of cool little Easter eggs that some owners might not even be aware of.
The carmaker began introducing Easter eggs back in 1997, but they’ve gained a lot more attention in recent years thanks to social media.
It all began with designer Michael Santoro, who hid a replica of the seven-bar Jeep vehicle grille design on the hood cowling of the TJ-generation Jeep Wrangler.
Decades on there are heaps of Easter eggs waiting to be found.

Jeep vehicles are packed with Easter eggs
We love when a carmaker includes a neat little Easter egg on their vehicle, like the Corvette ZR1, which has a sweet tribute to the legendary Tadge Juechter, or this one on the Cybertruck that pokes fun at a very viral moment.
When it comes to Easter eggs, Jeep vehicles have more than their fair share – the Jeep Renegade, for example, can come with up to 30.
The hidden Easter eggs come in plenty of designs, but common motifs are the silhouette of a vintage Willys Jeep, animals, the seven-bar grille design, and maps.
There’s even a Big Foot one you can find on the Renegade, Wrangler and Cherokee.
Keeping with the cryptid theme, the Jeep Compass has a Loch Ness Monster on it, and the Renegade features a Yeti chasing after Willys.
Willys feature heavily; the Wrangler, for example, has a T-Rex driving a Willys, a T-rex chasing a Willys, and another design showing an AT-AT chasing a Willys.
The traditional Jeep grille is also a common Easter egg, you’ll find in the headlights of many models, including the Compass and the Renegade as a cute nod to the marque’s heritage.
Where can you find them?
While some of the Easter eggs are hard to find, some are hidden in plain sight.
Some models, including the Renegade and the Gladiator, have a T-rex and a Willys on the right-hand side of the steering wheel.
Opening up the gas filler door on the Renegade, you’ll be greeted with a life–sized with a speech bubble that reads: “Ciao baby!”
Other common spots for the Easter eggs to be spotted are the windshield, on the hood, in the headlights, under the windshield wipers, under the seats, on the dashboard, and within the instrument cluster screen, as well as a handful of other locations.
So, if you’re a Jeep owner, take some time to carefully scour each and every inch of their vehicle to join in on the fun – who knows what you might find.
