Hilux surf, great vehicle. Ran mine on straight veg oil.
L200, very capable, insurance is high on those though, and traction on the rear wheels is almost non-existant (although damn good fun in the wet)
Defender, brilliant! Not much fun as an every day car though, have a turning circle of a small cargo ship
Mercedes ML320 - luxury 4WD. Quick, surprisingly good off-road. Expensive to service and fix though.
Old Mitsi shogun (avoid the 3ltr V6!) 2.5TD cracking engine. The little ones are just that, little. Go for the LWB and you're onto a winner.
Avoid the landcruiser, shit off-road unless you've got some decent shoes on it. Uncomfortable too. They're called "Gay-Landers" for a reason.
Best one? Toyota Landcruiser Colorado. You can pick 'em up for about £3.5k. Worth every penny. Will go anywhere. There's a reason the sheiks use them to get into and out of the desert. They have a saying, if you want to go into the desert use a Defender. If you want to get back out again use a Landcruiser...
