The Zippo Jeep®


The Zippo Jeep®

Unveiled in August 2011 at the Zippo 200 NASCAR Nationwide Series race at Watkins Glen International, the Zippo Jeep® is an all-terrain powerhouse, ready to bring Zippo adventures to even the most remote locations.

An original stock 2011 Jeep® Wrangler Unlimited® was transformed into the ultimate Zippo vehicle by the world-renowned West Coast Customs team in Los Angeles, California. The creation of the Zippo Jeep® was the focus of the Discovery Channel program “Inside West Coast Customs” Season 2, Episode 4 “American Icons,” and showed the extravagant modifications performed, including a full lift kit, supercharger, custom built front bumper and grill, faux-fire LED lighting around the outside of the vehicle, and a giant Zippo windproof lighter in place of the standard spare tire mount.

The Zippo Jeep® travels across the country promoting the full line of Zippo products at special events and music festivals.

In 2017, the Zippo Jeep® received additional modifications, including a custom wrap design, red interior floor well lights, Zippo flame tail light covers, and hidden in-door projectors that beam the Zippo logo onto the ground. With these all new features, the Zippo Jeep® was the perfect location to interview rock music’s biggest stars as part of the Zippo Encore music festival program.

When not on tour, the Zippo Jeep® can be seen at the Zippo/Case Museum in Bradford, Pennsylvania.
