Just a few that come to mind...
Jeep CJ5
66-77 Bronco
Scout II (Can be difficult to find parts)
Toyota FJ60
90-95 Land Rover County Classic (More suspension travel than a H1)
4th Gen Pre-86 [Solid Axle] Toyota Pickup 4x4
1st Gen 84-86 [Solid Axle] 4-Runner
I had a '96 Land Rover Discovery with the 200hp 4.0L V8 (vs. the '94-95 w/ the Buick V8 bored out to 3.9L). I was never a fan of the body style until I got to really see the stock suspension articulation...then the looks grew on me. Put it in low and lock the diffs and it would crawl up and over just about anything at low rpm's. Maxxis Mudder Buckshot 245/75-16. I hired a guy in Oregon that made railroad truck springs for a living to fabricate me custom 2" lift springs and 3 months later never received them...order canceled.
Before you even think it, I was detailing cars then so I kept her SPOTLESS all the time...it was off-road no less than 3 to 4 days a week. I had 4 steel ramps that I would drive it up on at the car wash and spray underneath after every time and then detail the outside, lol! I painted the roof rack and wheels with Dupont wheel paint in graphite...
Checking front clearance for new custom fabricated brush guard and winch.
After cutting front bumper, 6" more clearance in the front!
I never finished everything I wanted on it because premium went to over $3 p/ gallon and at 13mpg driving 60 miles p/ day lost interest. I want another Land Rover but I'd build an imported Defender 110 for off-road/camping or a '95+ Range Rover and put a Duramax Diesel with Allison transmission in it for a 2wd tow vehicle. :boobies:
