Our National Parks are American treasures, and one company wants you to get out there and explore them. We saw its first creation, the Xplore Adventure Series FJ Cruiser (http://www.autoblog.com/2010/11/04/sema-2010-xplore-adventure-series-fj-cruiser-is-ready-for-the-w/), at last year's SEMA Show (http://www.autoblog.com/category/sema/) in Las Vegas. That vehicle is going to be auctioned off and the proceeds donated to the National Parks Foundation. Xplore isn't limiting itself to just the FJ Cruiser (http://autoblog.com/tag/fj+cruiser), however, and parts will soon be available for various Jeep (http://www.autoblog.com/make/jeep/), Ram Truck (http://www.autoblog.com/make/dodge/), Toyota (http://www.autoblog.com/make/toyota/), Ford (http://www.autoblog.com/make/ford/), GM (http://www.autoblog.com/make/gm/), Nissan (http://www.autoblog.com/make/nissan/), Honda (http://www.autoblog.com/make/honda/), Subaru (http://www.autoblog.com/make/subaru/), Hyundai (http://www.autoblog.com/make/hyundai/) and Kia (http://www.autoblog.com/make/kia/) vehicles.
The parts are available at local dealerships and range from the basic to the burly. Stage one of the Xplore series of parts includes interior upgrades produced with the help of Katzkin. Stage two upgrades feature BFGoodrich (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/bfgoodrich) off-road tires, aluminum wheels, Bilstein shocks and a Magnaflow stainless-steel cat-back exhaust. If you want to push further into the woods, Stage three bolts on winches, a roof rack, rock rails, a rooftop tent and upgraded lighting. There's also a built-to-order Stage 4 for Jeep and Toyota vehicles, which brings builder TLC into the mix and adds custom paint choices as well as electronic upgrades and expedition-level equipment.
Keeping with the theme of the Xplore name, each Xplore vehicle comes with a one-year National Parks pass, membership in the Xplore club and a subscription to the Xplore Lifestyle magazine.
