G Wagen if you can find one and afford one. I really, really, really, really, really wish I still had my 300GD. Slow as a dog but there was literally no stopping it anywhere. Brilliant machines.

Ive got a 1999 Hilux Mk4, Micky Thompson MT tyres and it pulled a Vermeer 1000 XL chipper off road with no problems, chipper is 2200kg!!!

 

Land rovers are good off road but **** me I couldn't live with one!!

 

I like my hilux because it has a bigger load space than a Landy.

if you need a serious offroad vehicle then have a look underneath the one you're fancying.

If it has a beam axle on the front and one on the back then it will more than likely have good axle articulation. If it doesn't have beam axles with good articulation then then some wheels will loose contact the ground when it gets proper rough and you will come to a halt.

 

A beam axle looks like a metal pole with a wheel on each end and will be clearly visible as such.

if it don't have one of those fore and aft then look at another vehicle.

 

(If it doesn't need to be street legal then you can forget the beam axles and go for something more like this: [ame]

we have in the past and still use landrovers but the best off roader without doubt is our old iveco 4x4 daily diff locks front and back with 16 inch wheels truly unstoppable
