What do you guys think? Article below:

It's no secret that our friends at Xplore want you to see the country. The company is dedicated to building rambling rides that will let you venture to our nation's most scenic parks. The newest creation rolling out of the Xplore garage is a trip-ready Toyota 4Runner that's packed with the usual assortment of off-road goodies we've come to expect.

Like all Xplore vehicles, the 4Runner can be equipped in stages. Three stages are available, and they range from an upgraded interior and a few external bolt ons to the expedition-grade 4Runner shown above. The full monty comes with a slew of ARB items such as a winch and front brush guard, as well as a set of Method aluminum wheels, upgraded suspension components and extra beefy BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain tires.

The 4Runner joins the Jeep Wrangler, Jeep Grand Cherokee and Toyota FJ Cruiser in the Xplore lineup. Each time a vehicle is sold, Xplore hands over a portion of the cash to the National Parks Foundation. Besides the keys to the car, you will also enjoy a one-year pass to visit the our National Parks and a subscription to the Xplore Lifestyle Journal, which basically provides you with excuses to go use your new vehicle as much as possible. See all the details in the press release after the break.

PRESS RELEASE:

XPLORE ADVENTURE SERIES TOYOTA 4RUNNER HEADS FOR THE OUTDOORS

Families who love camping have a new adventure machine waiting for them in
Toyota showrooms Nationwide!

Adrian, MI (August 1, 2011) – Adventure in the Great Outdoors for American families who love
the outdoor lifestyle just got better. Today Venchurs announced the newest member to the
XPLORE family with the Adventure Series Toyota 4Runner. As with all XPLORE vehicles, the
4Runner will support our national parks.

"The new Toyota 4Runner is an absolutely amazing vehicle," states Jeff Wyatt, CEO of
Venchurs. "On a recent trip to Ouray, Colorado, I witnessed firsthand how impressive it's
capabilities are as it scrambled up a rocky shale trail I didn't even think was possible to climb."

XPLORE Adventure Series 4Runners are now available through select Toyota dealerships
nationwide along with the XPLORE FJ Cruiser. Each XPLORE Toyota owner receives a free,
one-year annual pass to all National Parks and other Federal lands, a one-year membership
in XPLORE CLUB and a subscription to XPLORE Lifestyle Journal; a high quality quarterly
featuring amazing places to go, fun things to do and interesting people. For every XPLORE
Toyota sold, a donation is made to the National Park Foundation, the official charity of
America's national parks..

XPLORE Adventure Series Toyota 4Runners are available in four packages featuring increasing
levels of equipment and capability. XPLORE Stage 1 Vehicle Packages feature Katzkin leather
interiors as a builder level for a wide variety of options including dealer installed genuine Toyota
and TRD Performance Parts and Accessories.

XPLORE Stage 2 vehicle packages feature Xplore/Method aluminum wheels, BF Goodrich off-
road tires, Bilstein 5100 Series shocks, a polished stainless-steel cat-back exhaust and Xplore
aluminum badges and floormats. XPLORE Stage 3 gets serious with expedition quality ARB
roof racks, roof-top tents, bumpers, Warn winches and IPF lighting; all available as mix-and-
match accessories.

"Our Xplore Toyotas are the real deal, not showroom pretenders" quotes Ron Flint, XPLORE
Program Director. "These are incredibly capable vehicles that can transport you and your family
to wonderful adventures in the great outdoors and get you home again".

Just saw this over at autoblog. No different than what everyone here is already doing, but it's nice they support the Parks.
 
Since I afraid to tear apart my vehicle I like the idea that I can bring my truck in a shop and they will professionally upgrade it. The only thing is not clear is what happens with Toyota warranty. But those folks are in US so probably it's irrelevant for me anyway.
 
I know some of the folks at Explorer and I can say they are pretty up to par on the Expo and Off Road world.

Lets hope they can be invloved in out first T4R adventure.
 
I just can't get on board with that bumper. It's a monstrosity and obnoxious looking. The Shrockworks design is so much nicer.
 
It's a good idea...And I'm sure the sticker price will reflect it.

I agree about the ARB bumper, hideousness at it's finest... If dinosaurs were still around, jumping out on the road or trail, I'd have an ARB bumper... But alas, there is none.

I think the Xplore concept is a good idea. Not everybody is as handy with a wrench and electrical systems as most of you guys. Fortunately this forum exists with awesome write-ups that allow idiots like me to copy some pretty awesome ideas. Otherwise I'd end up paying top dollar for my dealership to bolt on some questionable accessories (I was asked to pay 1400 bucks for a set of nerf bars. When I told them that I would be installing a set of SW rock sliders they told me that their nerf bars were better as they only weighed 14 lbs a piece).

A general thank you to everybody who posts detailed write-ups on their mods.
