There might be something special hidden in your car right under your nose without you realizing it. Some people who own Jeeps aren’t aware that most models have hidden Easter eggs—mysterious imprints and stickers, including lizards, spiders, a Sasquatch, and other symbols.
A lot of people became aware of this awesome little secret when 20-year-old student Jackie Foster shared his own Jeep Easter egg spider in his TikTok video. Jackie’s video went viral and people are now sharing their own Easter eggs by uploading videos with the sounds from his original TikTok post.
“So I bought my first car, and a fun fact about Jeeps is that they have a hidden animal which is called an Easter egg. I couldn’t find my Easter egg for the longest time, and one day I was pumping my gas, and I saw this spider coming at me, and I thought ‘oh my god’, and then I realized it was my Easter egg,” Jackie says in his video.

Of course, there are plenty of car enthusiasts out there who were aware of Jeep Easter eggs, but we’re glad that more people are finding out about this fun bit of auto-lore.
Joel Feder explains in a piece on Motor Authority when Jeep started putting various awesome Easter eggs into their cars. The person behind the first hidden secrets is Michael Santoro who worked on the 1997 Jeep Wrangler TJ.

He had a limited budget of 150 million dollars to redesign the new Jeep and according to him, back in the ‘90s that sort of budget was “like coffee money.” So he wanted to make something iconic and leave his mark with the limited funds that he had.
“Jeep owns that seven grille bar theme. And if you look at the cowl of the Wrangler, I repeated that pattern in the cowl to let air into the interior of the car,” Santoro said. That was the very first Jeep Easter egg and others, including the animal and symbol imprints, have popped up ever since!
This is what people had to say about the hidden secrets in Jeeps. Some of them took the opportunity to make jokes
