- easter jeep safari ejs moab
I found one a while back. 2004 TJR, with 4700 mi on it. Estate sale. It order be a guy, he had a stroke and only drove around the block every week and that was it. He died recently. He was the only owner, estate sale $43,000
I called said I would take and jumped in my jeep and my wife and we not made the city limits till I got a fone call that the guy who wanted also had flown in from Ohio and shown up with $43 cash. I was really disappointed. I was living in Naples FL and the jeep was in Miami.
Looking for a Stick shift only TJR UNMOLESTED aka NO lift kit nd excessive mods that require "California Parts"...it will come, right now I am finding mostly AUTOMATiCs that are unmolested.
YES I should have never sold mine, it was the first TJR shipped to an individual (ME), 2nd week in Aug, they did reach the dealers unto about the 4th week...how did I get mine so early. I was consulting for Chrysler Jeep that summer and asked if I could get a Jeep Tj at employee pricing, sure! It came in on the same truck as another. Both were exactly duplicates, same window sticker. Dallas is the training center for new models or new versions. I lived in Dallas , they called and said your Jeep is here...my dealer was even shocked. 2 TJRs, same color, same window sticker options.
JUST LUCK!
If my jeep is back together and solid I will be at EJS with a buddy in a WJ.
$43,000 for a 20 year old TJ better have tennis balls crammed into the springs.
Thats a good set for your first time. Dome Plateau is super easy with some optional lines if you want a little fun, but its mostly scenic, and out a different direction than most of the trails so hopefully not too busy. Same with Seven Mile but it is more popular and in a more popular area, but a good trail with a mix of scenery and technical stuff that is also optional if you want it to be.
Fins and things is probably an EJS participant only trail for the week so hopefully not too crowded but i would expect it to be a lot of waiting for the rest of the group to clear an obstacle followed by a short drive and more waiting at the next obstacle.
Should be a good time, you'll love Moab, its a whole different world from probably anything you've ever wheeled.
I don't care what the mileage was on that TJR; spending $43K for a 20 year old Jeep is ridiculous.
For that much money you could buy 2 TJRs and have money left over to conduct repairs or modifications.
Any updates on EJS attendance next week? We are rolling into Moab Tomorrow. I’d love to link up with someone wanting to do Top of the world.
We just got in today. Doing hells Revenge and rose garden hill tomorrow. I would like to get top of the world in one of the evenings!
Enjoy the trip, and be sure to post a bunch of pics. I’ll be right there behind you the entire time!
I believe you can get to Top of the World from Rose garden hill. I’ve not done it but if you want to do TotW you are in the area.

Headed home from EJS. We did not get stuck in any traffic. Hit Hells revenge, Jax tracks, behind the rocks, rose garden hill, backwards bill, and Pritchet canyon. On the last day the Metalcloak trailer was open so I took the LJ and they were surprised how well it did!
I had a blast in moab as well! Sadly, failed Kenny's climb on fins and things due to my transmission fluid pickup going dry and slipping out of gear at the main incline

Nice skirt though. A bit shorter than my preference, but I'd still wear it.
