Dustin & Tiffany, you sound like our dopplegangers. My gf and I recently did exactly what you're doing - sold our house, put everything we owned into storage and went full time on the road for a year or so, also living out of an overland trailer and 4Runner. Check out the build thread on my profile to see some photos of our journey. I'm not sure where you are now but if you're into it we should meet up and share some stories of life on the road and maybe find some good spots for you to set up camp for a while. I've recently moved to the Alberni Valley so I'm not quite an expert on all of the local spots yet, but my previous stomping grounds was the Cowichan Valley just a bit down Island and I know it like the back of my hand - I'd be happy to do a little day trip back down there and show you some prime off grid camping locations, or even just do some random exploring with you. Send me a pm if you're interested and welcome to vioffroad!
Hey thanks Llew - the first two shots were in Nanaimo, the third was Comox lake, and the last was up on green mountain.
Nice to hear you did some mods as well - the lift and tires should make you a lot more capable (not that you weren't already)! Hopefully I'll get to see you out on the trails again - I've recently moved up island so if you find your way up towards the Alberni Valley let me know and we can meet up for some exploration.

Just an update with some new pics since I added my CBI front bumper and Dobinsons snorkel!
I love fresh meats.
