We've already written about our time behind the wheel of the Mopar Jeep JK-8 project truck at this year's Easter Jeep Safari in Moab, Utah. Now, we've got video of the Jeep pickup you can build in your garage.
Today, Chrysler released a few high-resolution images of its Ram Long-Hauler concept truck that we reported on earlier. Among the photos is a shot of the interior and Long-Hauler badging on the seat.
With a midship fuel tank combined with a frame-mounted tank and an optional bed-mounted auxiliary tank, the Long-Hauler's total fuel capacity is 170 gallons (revised from the 160-gallon figure we initially reported).
Interior items designed to help the driver monitor vehicle performance include a rear axle temperature gauge and exhaust gas temperature and boost gauges housed in the center console.
The concept truck will be going on a national tour for the next eight months — starting this weekend at the Kentucky Derby — to gauge public interest. The images, along with the tentative show schedule, are below.

A dozen Chevrolet Silverado crew-cab pickup trucks and $100,000 are headed to the southeastern U.S. to help in places hit hard by devastating tornadoes last week, thanks to a donation by General Motors and the General Motors Foundation.
The 12 pickups, plus a GMC Savana full-size van, are due to arrive today at Tuscaloosa Chevrolet in Alabama, the hardest-hit state. From there, they will be distributed to United Ways in western and central Alabama for use in local relief efforts. The General Motors Foundation is providing a $100,000 grant to the American Red Cross.
"Chevrolet has a strong commitment to its communities, and we are working with our dealers, our employees, and relief agencies to help people in the southeast recover from the storms," said Alan Batey, vice president of Chevrolet sales and service. "The Silverado crew cab is a real workhorse, and we know these trucks will find many uses carrying people and hauling supplies as these communities rebuild."
In addition to those donations, GM's OnStar is providing crisis-assist services for subscribers in affected states, which provides free hands-free calling minutes and directions. OnStar is also providing six months of free service and 1,000 hands-free calling minutes for each of the donated Silverados.
The total Chevrolet, GM Foundation, and OnStar contribution is estimated to exceed $500,000.
