MX3

Overview

 

Originally purchased as a parts donor vehicle for the MX2, we quickly realized the condition of the Explorer was too good to rip apart. Ultimately, the Explorer became a test platform for our MX2 project during construction. Everything from Overland Training, sleeping configurations, gear storage, fuel storage, tires, lighting, navigation, communications and entertainment were tested. This gave us tons of insight without having to alter the MX2.

MX3 has been sold.
