I'm new. Edward aka Sixkillah.. First Toyota... After my jeep was Vandalized, I decided to get a 4Runner. Looking for Toyota accessories I came across this overland site.
Is anyone still here?

Welcome, you came to the right place you can find out pretty much anything you want to know about overlanding and more.
Welcome from a 4runner pilot in Colorado. Lots of great camp and off road info here, some outfitting help and ideas for various rigs as well.
For tech info and more mods than you can handle for your new 4Runner you'll want to check out T4R.Org. (if you've not done so already.)

Welcome @Sixkillah ! Sorry to hear about the Jeep getting vandalized...that definitely sucks. You can learn a lot by following along with some of the vehicles in the build threads as well. This site is unlike any other forum you'll come across, completely free of ads that bog down the site, and the behavior and friendliness here is top notch! Poke around, there's a lot to look at on OB!
Yeah I know. I want to get into overland. Just wasn't sure where to start
ForeRunner is a great overland vehicle. Not sure what you mean by accessories but there are forums for everything from cooking to bathroom equipment. You'll notice there is only 1 vehicle builds thread. This website is more about overlanding than building a vehicle. Some of us believe Toyota/Jeep engineered great off roaders and adding or changing the mechanical components only increases the risk of getting stranded while overlanding in some remote location.
That said go to the forums that interest you and discover the possibilities. Overlanding is more about exploring than building. Get those few basics you need to start, like shelter, refrigeration, maps, and start planning an adventure. There are several organized camps to meet other overlanders too.
Going to an Overland Event, even just for a day might be the best way to start. There are always a few equipment venders there.

Accessories as in roof top racks, tents... etc... Will I overland to the point I'll need fuel cans... etc... basically I'm just looking for pointers and ideas. I'm interested in looking at other rigs to see which direction I would like to go. I think I'm done with the hardcore mudding and rock crawling. I think I just wanna get to a nice off the beaten path fishing spot. Lol

Sixkillah,
Welcome to Overland Bound. I’m glad you found us! We may not have the information on the 4Runner, that a site like t4r.org does, but if you want information and friends, people to wheel with, ideas on setting up to Overland, you have found the right spot. I wheel a 99’ Limited myself! Enjoy! Vance.
