Explorer I
Obviously not for everyone, but there is no denying these are amazing vehicles.
I got to do a tour of their factory just outside Denver, Colorado yesterday and thought I'd share some photos.
For the record, the tour was great, the employees cordial, and the build process was pretty amazing. It is a 12 week build process on the XV-LTS models. 6 phases of 2 weeks each. On the tour you got to see all 6 phases.
We were not allowed to take any photos inside the factory. But we did ask to see the massive 1.5M XV-HD and they took us to another building where we got a good look at one. No photos as it is still being built, but wow.
Can't encourage you enough to take the tour if you are ever in the Denver area. They are open and free at 2:15 every Wednesday.
Anyway, here are the pics I took. If anyone has questions I can answer feel free to ask. I may not know the answer though.

The front office where you start the tour.
Our Jeep looked tiny compared to this $600,000 beast!
Lined up EarthRoamers. Awesome display of off-road goodness.
Them beadlocks tho.
My wife aka @mrs. jeepsies said, she could take one of these around the world. Though this is probably the only time she'll sit behind the wheel of a $600K vehicle.
Inside the EarthRoamer XV-LTS. The wood and leather were beautiful. Attention to detail was obvious in the build.
Rear storage, including a recovery locker.
Those rear boxes are all storage. You know, like bear proof storage. Also the ONE key fob unlocks any of the exterior locks anywhere on the vehicle.
A view of the passenger side and entrance. This specific vehicle will be at Overland Expo East this year in case anyone is going and wants to see it in person.
Just a little size comparison shot I took before we left the tour. Keep in mind our Jeep is a 4-door on a 2.5" lift with 35 series tires and an iKamper Skycamp on top. It still looks tiny next to the XV-LTS!
Anyway, all in all a great tour. Hope you enjoyed the photos. If you have any questions that I can answer, hit me with them.
