Easter Jeep Safari 2025 was everything we hoped for—trail adventures, new product debuts, epic recoveries, and the kind of off-road camaraderie you can only find in Moab. The Motobilt crew was out in full force, joined by friends, dealers, and influencers from across the country. Whether we were tackling trails, fixing broken rigs, or catching up at sunset parties, this week had it all.

The Crew
Dan and Hudson made the drive out with a full lineup of builds: El Jefe, Hooligan, Rowdy, and Alumibob.
Hunter, Bender, Cody, and Bobby flew in Sunday to round out the team.
For Rowdy, this trip marked a big moment—its first run after receiving a new back-half, full cage, and triangulated 4-link. Meanwhile, Alumibob was set to stay with Aaron after the event... until a surprise mishap took us off a ledge and ripped off the factory passenger-side front link bracket (dun, dun, duuuun…).
Monday – Media Day & Kickoff Party
The week started off strong with a full day of photo and video content creation followed by the official EJS kickoff party at Zax in downtown Moab. It was a chance to reconnect with old friends, meet up with dealers, and shake hands with some of the top influencers in the Jeep community.
Tuesday – Trail Fixes at BFG Garage
With Alumibob sidelined, Aaron, Bender, and Hudson knocked out a quick trail repair at the BFGoodrich Garage in town. Working under the Jeep with only jack stands and a floor jack—and running a wire-fed welder off a generator—they fabricated and welded a new bracket to get us back on the trail. Classic Moab hustle. The Guys made quick work of the fix and we were running on Hells Revenge shortly after lunch.
Wednesday – Cliffhanger + APG Party
We hit Cliffhanger mid-week, one of Moab’s more technical trails with epic views and off-camber sections that’ll test any build. Later that night, we joined American Performance Group for their party at Sunset Grill—great food, solid vibes, and the best sunset view in Moab.
Thursday – Kane Creek Carnage
Thursday’s group ride down Kane Creek was one of the most memorable runs of the week. Aaron led the charge, and the very first creek crossing turned chaotic as several rigs got stuck in the mud and slick sand. With no room to turn around, it became a full-blown recovery operation. Thankfully, our Warn 8274 high-speed winch and Factor 55 gear came through, helping us safely extract rigs and keep things moving.
Some found a bypass up the muddy bank, others (like Dan and Hunter) used the skinny pedal to blast through. By the time we reached Hamburger Hill, the rigs were caked in red mud—but spirits were high and the whole crew made it out just before the skies opened up.
Friday – Laid Back on Poison Spider
After a wild Thursday, Friday’s trail run on Poison Spider felt like a much-needed breather. We rolled out early under a cool, overcast sky and cruised our way through slickrock ledges and scenic canyon stretches. By lunchtime, we were parked at Little Arch, soaking in the views and catching up with everyone in the group. It was a slower-paced day, but no less memorable.
Saturday & Sunday – The Long Haul Home
After a full week of wheeling, wrenching, and hanging out, Bender and Dan loaded up and drove the rigs back home. Mud, trail rash, and all.
Looking Back
EJS 2025 reminded us what this off-road community is all about—big challenges, quick fixes, and good people. We’re grateful to our dealers and partners who made the trip, the influencers who helped tell the story, and everyone who rolled with us on the trail.
Note: With such a large group on some of the rides, not every rig made it into the gallery or video. The majority of our footage focuses on Motobilt builds and the rigs positioned up front. But trust us—every Jeep on trail helped make this week unforgettable.
