Two days ago, the 2025 “Easter Jeep Safari” (EJS) kicked off in Moab, Utah. Since 1967, the annual springtime Jeep gathering in in the red rock landscape has evolved and grown. Today, it is managed as a collaboration between the Red Rock 4-Wheelers club, the Bureau of Land Management and the Moab Chamber of Commerce. In addition to introducing attendees to the area’s many driving routes, EJS offers vendor exhibits and vehicle spotlights.
Perhaps most importantly, organizers of the event promote the responsible use and care of nature’s off-road trails: “We work to keep the roads that we have open for everyone to enjoy,” the website says. If you’ve ever wanted to join in on the Jeep fun to see what the excitement is all about, we have the perfect ride get the party started.
Featured on AutoHunter is this low-mileage 1994 Jeep Wrangler YJ Sahara. The auction will end tomorrow, so time is of the essence.
Finished in Light Driftwood Satin Glow Metallic, the Wrangler shows only 74,130 miles on the odometer and appears to have spent most of its 31-year life on paved (or at least “improved”) roads. Exterior features include a tan removable hardtop, pinstriping, a Warn winch and newer 31-inch Falken Wildpeak A/T tires.
The “YJ” was the first Wrangler-badged Jeep, produced from 1986 through 1995. In form and function, it was a close successor to the CJ (or “Civilian Jeep”) series. When compared to its predecessor, it offered enhanced creature comforts, improved handling and a wider track.
The CARFAX report outlines this YJ’s accident-free and damage-free history that began in June 1994 in Austin, Texas. Ownership subsequently spanned Texas and New Mexico until the latter half of 2024 when it was relocated to Georgia, where it is being offered by a private seller in Athens – about 70 miles east of Atlanta.
Power comes from a fuel-injected 4.0-liter inline-six mated to a five-speed manual transmission and a dual-range transfer case. The powertrain was rated at 180 horsepower and 220 lb-ft of torque when new. The oil was changed in August 2024, and the CARFAX report shows some historic service items, including battery replacement and brake work in 2022. In 2016 (nine years, but only a few thousand miles ago), the fuel filter, radiator hose clamp, drive belts and serpentine belt were replaced. The Sahara is ready for Moab!
We recently talked about the “C10 Nationals” as a venue for Chevrolet truck enthusiasts to connect and collaborate. The Jeep Safari works the same way. Regardless of the automotive make or model, there is bound to be a community of like-minded people who are eager to get together. So, place your bid and start planning ahead to join the EJS fun in Moab in 2026.
The auction for this 1994 Jeep Wrangler YJ Sahara 4WD ends Tuesday, April 15, 2025, at 11:00 a.m. (PDT).
