Expedition Portal Classifieds: Hemi XV-JP

Imagine for a moment that you have just won the lottery. Hundreds of millions of dollars are now in your bank account, and the world of exotic vehicles and travel are wide open to you. What do you buy? A perfect condition Land Cruiser, a pop-top Defender, a 6×6 G-Wagen, maybe all three? While I have no doubt I’d struggle finding exactly what I would want in such a scenario, I can say with certainty it would be something unique, with a comfortable interior, ample living space, and the capability to go anywhere in the world. Something that looks a lot like this beautiful 2008 EarthRoamer XV-JP.

Just in case you aren’t familiar with the XV-JP, they were a limited run platform produced by EarthRoamer, designed to turn a Rubicon JK into a livable overland camper. They feature an automatically deploying tent top, a spacious bed setup, refrigerator, gas-powered air heater, cassette toilet, sink, vent fan, binned storage, and loads of other amazing features. In total, there were just 11 of these Jeeps made, and this particular one might just be my favorite. Why? Because after leaving EarthRoamer it was improved even further with a host of upgrades from American Expedition Vehicles including a Hemi-V8, bumpers, an interior roll cage and more.

Specifications

The XV-JP you see here has just 21,966 miles on the clock, and is currently owned and maintained by EarthRoamer in Dacono, Colorado. Since coming into their possession, their team has installed a completely rebuilt tent canopy with better fabric, features, and an easier setup and break down. They’ve also gone through the Jeep completely, making sure it’s in perfect working order for its new owner. While they’ve listed all the original specifications on their for sale ad, they have noted that several improvements have been excluded, and you’ll need to get in touch with them at harlan@earthroamer.com for the specifics.
