Specialty automotive outfitter EarthRoamer has just introduced its XV-JP, and we want one in the worst way.

Essentially a Jeep Wrangler Rubicon outfitted for end-of-the-world base camp duty, the XV-JP is fitted with all manner of self-sustaining camping apparatuses, including interchangeable skins (all-season, extreme cold weather, and high temperature radiant barrier), a cassette toilet, solar power with battery backup, engine-heated hot water tank, uprated suspension, winch, and so on. Lest we forget, there’s also the cantilevered Loftop, a motorized expandable living space that includes a queen-size bed and a tent/screen room. You’ve doubtlessly noted that the latter nicely integrates a full complement of off-road lighting.

We haven’t had the opportunity to drive one of these survivalist machines, but with their Laura Croft-meets-Volkswagen Westphalia sex appeal and utility, well, we’d probably shake the piggy bank pretty hard to park one of these outside of our Quonset hut. Then again, with a base price in the six-figure range, we’d probably have to crack the poor swine storage unit wide open--and sell off our current digs, too.
