ITS GOOD TO SEE YOU BACK, PICKING YURSELF UP AND GROWING IN A POSITIVE NEW DAY. NOTHING BUT TIME CAN BRING HEALING , IN ALL THINGS TRAGIC. BECAUSE AT THE END OF THE DAY ITS OUR WALK, OUR LIFE AND JOURNEY. IN MY OWN WALK SOME THINGS HAVE TAKEN ME YEARS TO HEAL FROM. MOST RECENT, BOTH MY PARENTS PASSING. AND THEN GETTING LAYED OFF MY BEST JOB EVER, BARELY 4 YEARS TO RETIREMENT. I LEFT CALI JOBLESS, AND MOVED TO IDAHO, NO FRIENDS NO FAMILY. THE FIRST YEAR 2021 WAS DEPRESSING AND LONELY. AS WE ENTERED 2022 IT WAS MORE OF THE SAME, BUT AS THE YEAR ENDED, I HAD TO GRASP MY ROOTS AND GET MY EYES BACK ON JESUS. HERE ITS MAY 2023, AND IM HAPPIER, MORE HEALTHY IN MIND AND SOUL, AND I HAVE FAITH TOMORROW WILL BE EVEN BRIGHTER. HANG IN THERE LIL LADY, I DIG THE RIG AND WE MISS YUR JOURNEYS, EDITING, AND THE RIG YOU ARE CAPABLE OF BUILDING. BE BLESSED , PEACE.

Sorry as I was saying... Remember what Dr. Seuss said "Dont cry because its over. Smile because it happened."

First i want to say it is great seeing you back, Second still love the hair lol. You are trying to hold on to what was that you are affraid to accept changes. There are things in life we can not control and we always look for comfort in what we know over finding beauty in the ugly times. The same way you have changed is the same way the world change, but changes is a way to see who we truly are deep inside beyond the traumas and abuse of life. We find true love and what makes us trult happy. You still find comfort in your isolation. Everything happens for a reason. If the road was not washed out and you didn't push on what would you learn and discover? We get so use to things we forget to think. This was a way to show you that sometimes the things we plan out never happen as plan. There is an old saying "never say never" meaning we never know what we would do if put in certain situations. It is not always about our choices but the intentions behind our choices. You still have a good heart and care for nature. This trip was more of a spiritual heal but you kept looking at the physical. I pray that this help and i told you that you got a friend here and it is great to have you back. Not all changes are a bad thing cause changes also bring growth. Right now you are in your winter and just waiting on your spiritual spring to see you blossom again. Things happen for a reason. Remember there is two sides to a coin, which side are you focus on. Good can come out of bad and bad can come out of good. Find your balance and when you can't see good or bad find the humor and you'll be ok. Your friend Heyoka and you are never solo we got your back.

I’m 24 hours in from bringing my 2022 Toyota Tacoma TRDpro home from the dealer. In the driveway is also my 2002 Jeep Wrangler. Both of them bright red. But alas I am going to sell the Jeep and me and the Taco need to make some new memories in the Deserts of Mojave. So I hear you, there is no waiting for that time we are waiting for, and the Jeep did well for me, but now I adventure out in a new vehicle, starting all over again. I feel ya. 😊

You are recovering well, and learning from each detail in life, how to best enjoy each situation. Nothing in life is constant, except that changes are not predictable in magnitude or frequency. Each moment of life is precious, ..more so, when it is shared, with those who have same values as yourself. Life is divided in days and seasons, allowing us a fresh start, and fresh perspective, for each time we miss some good details. We only are able to build timeless memories, by what we share, as anything we keep to ourselves, we also loose when we pass. We are valued, by how we react and interact with people, ...is why some ugly old people are highly valued, while others are hardly noticed, no matter how good they may appear. We are living in an age, where people have far less time to share, ..which is why the quality of the time you share, is highly appreciated !!!

Welcome back Monique. We have all missed you. Looking forward to your new adventures .

❤ I miss my Hilux I love my Hundy though. Think I just need a few more adventures under my belt so I have the memories I had in my Hilux

A wife like you is perfect 😂

Good to see you back Monique!! Been watching you for a number of years now and your journey and feel I know you well by now!! The world in front of you is your world, what you get back is a refelction of your state of being and thus all the answers good/not good that you will ever need. Look at how beautiful your life is after ALL the what ifs or could be's are removed 😊✌🏼

Ceramic tint on the front window and side windows help a lot, recently found your channel and recently bought a 100 series! Subscribed!

😊 great seeing you back here!!! It's been a long time ... thanks for inviting us to join you here!!! Happy travels!!!

"You dont know if your a/c isnt working until its hot again" you can say that again lol me looking at my 80, windows down has been great so far lol

Welcome back Overland Lady! Have really missed your videos and your style

That washout at 6:10 was like that from the floods we had almost two years ago. Very sad😢 There is a lot of flood damage from that. It’s very sad. But it forces us to find more places and explore more. 🎉

Hey Monique, here’s looking at you…Monique. I can see the call of the wild is in your blood. I see the steering wheel is on the correct side, the right side. Your looking good trim taught and terrific. Still using the battery and air fryer. Well done you, full time job. Looking forward to your amazing smile again and your unique ways. Welcome back.. Life can be bitter sweet, I found the bitter times were the sweetest, but that my weird outlook. 😃😀🤣

Made my day seeing a new video pop up. Hope you’re well.

I'M SO SOO SOOOO GLAD TO SEE YOU BACK. I MISSED YOU!!!!!

That bridge got washed out in the major floods in 2021, I tried to cross that bridge mid last summer as well as other bridges in the area and they're all washed out... They're likely not going to be rebuilt for a few years...

Monique, it is good to see you post! I do hope you can find your happy place during your travels. It has saddened me a great deal seeing the effect, that your accident has had on your life. You are awesome, and are an inspiration.

Glad you're back Monique. As for both the loss of your Landcruiser and the beautiful campsite. R

Glad Ito see you back, I hope are well. Don’t fall back into trying to pump out a video every week, spend more time on enjoying yourself and your travels.

Monique is still overlanding. This is great ! Nice to see you again with your new 100 Toy,…

great to see you back ❤❤

I can totally relate to your fuel anxiety. I have a 1996 Landcruiser 80 Series 4.5L 6-cyl petrol. We're lucky that all Australian spec Landcruisers (from the 80 series up) came with twin OEM fuel tanks. But even with its factory twin fuel tanks, totalling 145L of fuel (90L main-tank / 55L sub-tank), it's still not enough for some of the long distance remote 4WD tracks we have in Australia. When off-road, I'd be lucky to push past 600kms (approx 800km pure on-road). 600kms in some of Australia's remote tracks isn't enough to cover distances between fuel stops. The diesel equivalent can cover approx 1000+km on-road & 800km off-road. Your new LC100, not having a sub-tank must be a JDM version. I love the 80 series style fender flares on your LC100. It makes it look tougher and rugged. 👍

Good to see you back again!

Sooooo happy to see you out again!! Hope you get back in your zone. ❤

Welcome back, great to see you again 🎉

Happy to see you Again from France

Great video… I too love my truck and have been contemplating letting it go due to money needs and I just can’t do it.. I would much rather go hungry than give up my home and soul 😊.

Good to have you back. Since your last video, I trekked from SoCal to Western Australia and saw the immense number of overlanding vehicles. So jealous of all of them but it's slowly growing out here in CA. Looking forward to more!!

Welcome back beautiful lady, life can be strange, but that's what makes it interesting and challenging, life is short, make every day the best one you've had, travel safe and enjoy nature every day , 😊❤

Welcome back Monique, I missed you camping video, I don’t feel like you are Overland lady without a LC100.

Those rims look great!

We've missed you! Hope you're well and we're looking forward to your Premier. Mark (& Teresa) Hampstead Maryland Ford Ranger - GFC Camper V2 #1919

Glad to see you are getting back out there! Maybe one day I will show you my Tundra...

Good to see you back on the trails, look forward to seeing more adventures ❤

Guess who’s back. Back again.

Can’t wait to see you hit 100k ❤❤❤ You should try bull river to Canal, Flats and from there settlers Road into Kooteney park follow the rivers 🐾👣🌮🍺✌️

I am so happy to see ya looking forward to more adventures.

Hi Monique. I ‘cherish’ the piece of altar (sp?) you sent me. From Japan to Australia to Canada - I have a piece of your history (don’t worry, it won’t tell me any secrets 😉 ). It is the jack compartment cover, and I love it is gray in my tan interior . . . Anyways wtf is wrong with us? Why do we feel these trucks have heart and soul? (Because they do!) My 98 is getting tired .. . So I bought a lower mileage 04 - but it is not the same. Not a ‘replacement.’ I hate the US nav system, and hvac controls on post 03 LC’s. 5 speed is nice. It is a ‘nice car’ but I love my truck. 2 LC’s in the driveway is fine for now - but eventually I have to make a choice. Rebuild the 98 (trans and engine) or commit to the 04. Regardless, your little piece of altar will live on with me 😊.

Awesome you’re back miss ya. Such a gorgeous lady

So are you getting Tundra ?you should look at new Sequoia, it has a TDR Pro, but A new Tacoma has trail edition, that is coming with all you need just need set up either tent or Alu Cab type thingy

Welcome back. From your accent and lingo at the start of the video I'm claiming you as an Aussie 😂

I just starting solo camping last month on two trips. My usual "navigator" became a grand mother so there's that. It's actually refreshing in a weird way. Solitude is quite refreshing. Oh, welcome back. How's that steel fabricating thing going?

What bar is that on your new cruiser .

What do you think of an Ineos Grenadier ?

That vehicle is lifted more

❤️❤️❤️🤗

Land cruiser is looking 💯

Jerry cans & petrol not a great combo. Diesel is not so bad, a lot safer than petrol. Diesel is the most popular choice in Australia.

Shame about the hilux. I had the same model kun26r but set up for overland touring. Completed just under 400,000 km in it when I sold it and fuel averaged 10l per 100km Problem free. Un butchered they can be a great vehicle.

What!? The a/c not working properly in the Cruiser? Hope you find the source of the leak! I know the challenges with range anxiety with a thirsty petrol V8. Had a Land Rover Discovery V8 petrol and I swore never to buy another petrol powered SUV again. So I truly understand the pain of jerry cans and constantly filling up. Doesn't help that gasoline is so pricey these days, at least in Australia.

We miss your videos....

It was easy to see how much the accident with your old LC100 affected you and it takes a loooong time for those scars to heal properly. Once that's done, though, you can look at things logically and if the price, performance and your knowledge of the LC100 makes it the best vehicle for you, you'd be nuts NOT to choose another one. Maybe you could bolt some little wheels to the roof of this one? 😛

Hello

Firs time seeing a camper using a air fryer lol

Welcome back, please tell me what brand of wheels those are? They look awesome! Stay safe and have fun!

Would you provide the names of the areas you are in?. I'm from BC and would like to explore some of these areas

Great to see you in another LC. Knew that you couldn't be happy with just a Hilux. When I had my accident with my truck, I was not happy until I got another Ram. Sure, there were so many options for GM and Ford - and even a Toyota Tundra. But I held off buying anything, because I knew it would not be a full restoration until I was in a Ram, again. z As for the hot days without AC, well I know the feeling. Over here in Dubai, we get temps averaging over 48.C with humidity to match. Hope you get the AC fixed. The heat literally drains your energy. You should be drinking something like Coconut water or an Isotonic drink.

getting a little long for the modern humans attention span 🤣🤣 that was hilarious but true !!

Get a tundra Ute, and wrap it in the colour you want…

What about the truck you have?

dont you have extra fuel tank?
