Jeep Easter Safari - An Annual Pilgrimage for Jeep Enthusiasts

Of the many things Jeep does well to excite it's fanbase, the annual Easter Jeep Safari (EJS) is the best event out there.

EJS is an annual 9-day event held in Moab, Utah. The event attracts off-road enthusiasts from all over who come to test their skills on challenging trails, enjoy trail rides, and participate in various social events. Jeep also unveils new concept vehicles during the event, showcasing innovative designs and capabilities.

While it is really Jeep trying to promote it's Mopar portfolio thru the event, it does really create an influx of new enthusiasts each time. The custom car folk also watch this event closely as the Jeep design team created line-up inspires a lot of small shops too.

I personally have been following this event closely to see the creative side of Jeep and the extent to which they go wild.

This thread is intended to compile all the Jeep models presented over the years during the Easter Safari's.

Re: Jeep Easter Safari - An Annual Pilgrimage for Jeep Enthusiasts

the 2025 Easter Jeep Safari will be held from 12-20th April.

Jeep is bringing seven concepts to the Easter Jeep Safari Three of them are termed Easter Jeep Safari concepts, and the other four feature modified Jeeps outfitted with Mopar parts, but not one of them has a wild engine.

The Concepts for this year are:

The Convoy: Beginning life as a 2025 Jeep Gladiator, the Convoy has a new nose, hood, and front fenders inspired by the J-series. Introduced as the SJ-series for the 1963 model year, the Jeep Gladiator was built through 1988, although it was renamed the Jeep truck and called the J-series starting in 1972. It is this J-series front styling that the Convoy seeks to emulate.

Beyond that, the Convoy brings with it a military vibe with low-back seats in distressed leather, chocolate brown canvas half-doors, and a matching top and bed canopy. Of course, it has a snorkel and a Warn 12,000-pound winch, because that's what any self-respecting military-grade truck would have. Rolling stock is 40-inch BFGoodrich crawler tires on 17-inch rims, and they've fitted high-clearance fenders to package them.

Bug Out: The Bug Out is a Jeep Wrangler 4xe four-door body, but the rear doors have been filled in making it a two-door, two-passenger long box design. Jeep also swapped the tailgate from side-hinged to a Gladiator-style drop-down. Mopar front half-doors are fitted, and the side flanks have been thoroughly eliminated and cut down to the level of the half-door in keeping with the ultra-lightweight theme. To that end, the only glass is the windshield, and the roof has been remolded. Now it's four inches higher so you can easily reach inside.

It also has a steel front bumper, LED lights, and a custom hood. At the back is a high-departure-angle tube bumper. Inside, the rear load floor is flat behind the front seats, and there are attachment points for a sleeping hammock. It rolls on 37-inch BFGoodrich KM3 tires and 18-inch wheels, so high-clearance fender flares are needed. The yellow packs behind the front doors are batteries, though whether they're for the 4xe itself or are spare packs for the Jeep electric off-road e-scooter that's fitted remain to be seen. Unlikely to see the light of day, but the high roof might be a little market research for the next generation.

Rewind: The Rewind frankly looks like something they could offer right away, because it's mainly a two-door Jeep with a wild paint job and interior graphics. The doors have come off and so has the top. The theme is '80s and '90s inspired, which is evident straight away, but that's as far as this concept goes.

Re: Jeep Easter Safari - An Annual Pilgrimage for Jeep Enthusiasts

2025 EJS..Cont'd

Wrangler Blueprint: Jeep's Blueprint is basically a box stock Wrangler 4xe fitted with every possible Mopar accessory. All of the Mopar parts have been painted Mopar Blue, and they all have a scannable bar code. There's the usual 2.0-inch lift kit, high-top fenders, Rubicon front and rear steel bumpers, a Warn winch with an accessory winch guard, and seven-inch TYRI lights.

Rubicon Sunchaser: The Sunchaser starts with a Wrangler Rubicon 4xe. It has a 2.0-inch Mopar lift to allow the fitment of 37-inch BFGoodrich KM3 mud-terrain tires. And to give it a bit more clearance, it has high-top steel fenders, which in this vehicle carries a vented concept. Up front is a Warn winch with a custom winch guard/push bar, and along the side it has rock rails.

Gladiator High Top Honcho: The High Top Honcho is a bit of a kitchen sink work on the Gladiator with some cool heritage graphics shod with 40-inch monster tires, Dana 60 front and rear axles with 5.38:1 gearing. Concept steel fender flares are necessary, and they're probably concept because of the 40-inch tires. They have to lift the truck, too, and for that they have an AccuAir adjustable air suspension, which sells a kit that will lift a Gladiator four inches.

J6 Honcho: It starts as a four-door Wrangler and has the same 118.4-inch wheelbase, but it has been customized into a two-door pickup with a box that is six feet long, not five feet like a Gladiator.
