For the size and off road capabilities, NOTHING beats a Land Rover, NOTHING! I would Pick up a good running Discovery series 1 ( not a series II) strip the electronics off the engine and swap over to a 4 barrel carb and manifold and headders, and cal it done! Stock, they have awesome axles, many with lockers, and the transfer case is also top shelf! They also have a very good suspension system that allows for incredible off road performance, STOCK! There are also many aftermarket options to really improve on what you already have, a 2 to 3 inch lift and steel wheels to allow for a proper off road tire, and you have an unbeatable rig! Folks turn their noses up at Rover, sukz to be them, having no idea just how good they are, and the Rover V8 is actually an improved American design that makes great power and is solid and reliable. The "Hot" set up is to swap it all out and install a Mercedes Benz 5 Cyl Turbo Diesel from one of the millions of them still running around, use the stock MBZ trans and advance adapters transfer case coupler and you have even more goodness!
