A nowhere road in a nowhere county in a nowhere state and a wild J2000 appears. Look at that classic Rhino grille sigh. No one around to ask about buying it.

I almost never spot these. This is maybe my 4th in-the-wild J-series truck.

( Updated to add another FSJ a few miles away. Couldn’t get a better photo without much more blatant trespassing.)

Some context for just how remote it is

Words of wisdom

I dream of someday having the time to go explore like this and just see what cars I find in the middle of nowhere. Like, a “cars of way out there” series. Make it like those supercar spotting shows, but totally outdoorsy and rural instead.

Would Oppos subscribe to such a channel, if it existed?

Did you take a picture of the VIN? At least with that information you could possibly track down the last owner, its title and/or last registration.

Looks like the tires still have air.

I would, but I believe that idea has already been serialized.

That’s a lot more interesting than that manual whatever-whatever we were chasing round two months ago.

Rhino grilles are a rare spot indeed.

Even something like this J Series I spotted a while ago is extremely uncommon.

That Jeep is just out standing in its field

Then it should win a prize

Truth be told... they just didn’t sell all that well. And, like the Oldsmobiles of my yoot, weren’t really viewed as “vehicles to keep”.

so, yeah, they are a rarity in any condition.  I had an uncle with the Jeepster of slightly older vintage-- and I never see those around either.  Same issue, I’d think.

It’s impractical for me to buy it at any price . Mainly I just wanted to chat with the owner.

Yeah, I’m betting it’s still being used.

Oh, I figured as much, but it would still offer the chance to talk with the owner
