How about a green FJ? No, not THAT green – a real ‘off road worthy’ green. I’m talking about a matt green 2010 FJ Cruiser, completely customized to support the XPLORE program and your national parks. This is the XPLORE Special Edition FJ Cruiser, and you can get one now at many Toyota dealers.
Since the guys just completed a great night run the evening before, the FJ was in perfect ‘trail’ form. Dusty, dirty, and definitely not ‘show floor ready’. We took it for a quick spin up toward Yankee Boy Basin and snapped a few great shots of the rig. The truck drives well, as all FJs do, but the XPLORE touches add an aire of adventure. The Katzkin leather seats with custom XPLORE embroidery, the custom badging, floormats, and logo on the outside set this FJ apart from all others in Ouray, or anywhere for that matter.
The purpose of the XPLORE program, according to Ron, is twofold: to make it easy for you to get out and enjoy the outdoors, and to support Americas National Parks. A portion of every XPLORE package is donated to the National Parks Foundation, so you can rest assured that each purchase goes to a good cause.
These trucks are dealer built and supported, so there’s no worry of voiding the warranty with mods. They’re delivered to the FJ owner that would rather spend time playing in the woods than playing in the garage. What’s more, the XPLORE Adventure Series FJ makes a great base platform for a unique overland rig. We certainly enjoyed spending a little time with her, and can’t wait to see what XPLORE has in store for 2012!
