Greetings to all the thrill-seekers out there!

I'm Marcus, and I am passionate about overlanding. I embark on exciting journeys through the breathtaking landscapes of New Zealand.

Let me introduce you to my 2019 Toyota Land Cruiser 79.

View attachment 251841

My place of residence is Christchurch, a city situated in the South Island of New Zealand.

Most of my travels are concentrated within the South Island (God's country), but I do take occasional trips to the other lot (the north) :)

My experience with 4wd and off-road vehicles extends throughout my entire life.

I am excited to be a member of this community and see how the states does things.

Hey all. I'm new to this forum as well as new to the Overland scene. Just picked up a 2023 4Runner SR5 after trading in our 2022 Subaru Outback. We had hoped to keep the Outback but after my wife and I really took some time to reflect on how much we would like to explore the outdoors with our two toddlers, we figured the capabilities and towing capacity (ie. future Camper Trailer?) would fit the bill for us. I reside in Austin after moving here from DC back in 2022.

For us, we see just how important getting outside is for not just our kids, but also for us as well. There's no better benefit than being in nature, am I right?

Welcome aboard to the OB community from IL. I think you and your wife made a great decision on the 4Runner. I hope this brings your family many great outdoor adventures.

Hi Anthony,

Welcome to Overland Bound!

4runners are a great basis for an overlanding rig. Everytime I see one I have this feeling that I need one, too - haha.

Greetings from Europe,
Bjoern
