MX2

Overview

 

The goal for the new modifications to the MX2 is to give a little more comfort for our next trip. This time, we're planning a trip of over 27,000 miles that will go around the world. To begin with, I extended the cab thirty inches for additional storage of gear that I wanted within an arms reach. In the extended portion we have a National Luna refrigerator from Equipt Expedition Outfitters, our camera gear, clothing and food storage. Adventure Trailers supplied us with a custom AT FlipPac camper that has a huge bed, and when open doubles the living space. The camper alone will make the journey much more comfortable. For equipment storage needs we picked up four light weight composite drawers from Adventure Trailers and installed them in the bed of the truck. In addition we have added tons of small modifications to make life just a little easier on the road. For build details per category click the images on your left.
