We talk about all three of the above topics here at Gearfuse. What better way to merge them all together than a charity auction being held for the Tony Hawk Foundation? If you head over to eBay right now, you’ll find the mother-load of charity auctions that features a DUB Edition Jeep Wrangler customized for Tony Hawk, VIP tix to the sweet Boom Boom Huck Jam tour and a Tony Hawk Edition Sidekick LX.

So to review, you’ll be getting a sweet:

-Tricked out Jeep Wrangler with massive DUBs and other goodies
-Pair of (VIP!) tickets to a sick skateboarding/extreme sports show
-A tricked out Tony Hawk Edition Sidekick LX from T-Mobile
-Pass to meet Tony Hawk before the show (see above)

This is pretty much as good as an auction gets for the 18-25 age group, of which I happen to fall into. Right now the bidding is at $45,100, so make sure your Paypal account is loaded. Hit the link for the auction and your chance to make a kid’s life better via the Tony Hawk Foundation.

Let’s get it out there first that a few years back Jeep unveiled a concept called the Hurricane, which allowed all 4 wheels to turn independently, and that never hit production; we’ll se how this one goes. Anyways, Jeep’s new Trailhawk is looking to bridge the gap between their Jeep Wrangler unlimited and their Cherokee. The Trailhawk is meant to be able to transport 4 people (just like the previously mentioned ones) off-road, and the roof has 3 panels of glass, which can be removed, so you can go off-roading with the wind blowing in your hair (sound like a Jeep Wrangler Unlimited?). Besides the obvious designs to make this a Jeep, the Trailhawk is taking a stab at the higher-class of off-roaders, making the Trailhawk a little sleeker appearance. One of these stabs are rear-mounted speakers that can be removed and used as portable media. One final thought before you start praying that Jeep puts this on the market: this is powered with Bluetect diesel, you know, the expensive stuff. More pictures after the jump.
