Does Easter Jeep Safari Matter Anymore? | Unfiltered | Ep 138

JD is joined by Bryan (Beatrice JKU the Lunchbox) and Calvin (SRG Offroad) for a loose, funny, and brutally honest conversation about whether Easter Jeep Safari still deserves its reputation as the kickoff to the off-road season. Alongside Bryan’s Moab trail plan—Coyote Canyon, Metal Masher, Kane Creek, Behind the Rocks, and Top of the World—the crew gets into Jeep Wrangler reality, rock crawling travel costs, overlanding trends, and why more wheelers are choosing other events over Moab. JD also shares a what may be his final update on his JK warranty battle, including oil consumption, repeated codes, and the possibility of an engine replacement. From public land access and vendor-show fatigue to the simple question of where your off-road dollars actually go, this episode has plenty for anyone following EJS, Moab trails, Jeep events, and the future of the community. If you’ve ever wondered whether the 60th anniversary of EJS still matters, this one’s worth a listen.📍Trails and DestinationsCoyote Canyon, Moab, UtahMetal Masher, Moab, UtahKane Creek Canyon, Moab, UtahBehind the Rocks Trail, Moab, UtahTop of the World, UtahSand Hollow State Park, UtahMoab Area TrailsWolf Caves Off Road Park, Texas🛠️ Gear and ToolsDJI Osmo Action CamerasRock Krawler Suspension SystemsTYRI Off-Road LightingZ Automotive Tazer JL Mini🚙 Community ShoutoutsBryan: Beatrice JKU the LunchboxCalvin: SRG OffroadJD: MeAndMyYellowJKOFF ROAD N Chill🌎 Advocacy & ConservationBlueRibbon CoalitionSave MoabTread Lightly!Utah Public Lands Alliance📰 News Topics🔥 2026 Easter Jeep Safari ConceptsBLM Proposal to Reopen Over 250 Miles of Moab TrailsThe Fight to Save Moab📅 Events and ResourcesEaster Jeep Safari (EJS) 2026Jeep Beach 2026OFF ROAD N ChillOverland Expo WestSmoky Mountain Jeep InvasionTrail Hero📞 Get involved!Leave us a voicemail!
