Actually I'm from seattle! My girlfriend and I went up to Victoria for new years on our break from school. We then went around as much of the island that we could in 4 days camping as we went haha. I'm sad that more people don't appreciate 1st gen xterra's, it has been a great rig and is the perfect size for me and one other person to fully load up and go anywhere. they are very capable too if you have the right tires and know how to drive.
