Hello.
I am a Romanian living in Belgium at the moment, and below you have a pic of my rig, a 2009 Landcruiser J120 Prado, what is known in the US as a
Lexus GX 470. It is a 3L diesel , automatic.
First pic is in the Romania, on some mountain trails. Second is in Portugal, I did an off-road tour of Portugal, about 1200 kmm off road.

In Europe Prado's are very popular, I think in the US is a very underestimated vehicle.
It is pretty much stock ( I want to keep it reliable, since I will plan trips in some pretty remote places and I travel mostly alone, meaning with my family ( wife and 12 year old kid ) but no other vehicles that could assist.
More details in a post I will make about my build.
So far I did an off road tour of the Pyrenees mountains, from Mediterana to Atlantic, following the mountain trails , and Portugal, plus many short trips in Belgium and France.
In 2 days I am leaving for 1 month trip to North Macedonia and Albania, next year will be either Georgia or Morocco, I haven't decided yet.
If you need any kind of assistance in Belgium ( it is a very small country ) or around in Netherlands or France don't hesitate to contact me.
