Range Rover Classic

Troopers have also crossed my mind.  I like ugly boxes on wheels.

Then you need a Hummer; or one of those Scion monstrosities.

Have a friend with a Nissan pathfinder that he says is as tough as nails, and the power to weight ratio is pretty decent (V6 2dr model)

This thread reminded me of a night out in Nice last year.  I was sitting outside a cafe, talking with an Australian guy that was working in London.  We were talking about cars, we were there for the race, after all.  He said his boss drives a Ferrari 360.  Well, his boss goes to some kind of meeting and comes back all bummed out.  Turns out the head guy at the meeting drove a new Range Rover and this guy's boss felt inadequate because he only drove a Ferrari. 

I thought it was a funny story and it gives you an idea of why people would want a Range Rover.  I think the new ones look kinda cool but I'll take the Ferrari any day.

I am not much of a Rover fan but I would love to have one of the last models defenders (but good luck finding one for a reasonable price). If you want tough as nails drive it to the end of the earth reliable an old toyota 4runner or pickup is hard to beat. I bought one to drive durring the winter when I first moved to Northern Minnesota. I spent the first few weeks of winter in my 2WD Ranger before I bought and old 92 4WD Tacoma. Talk about to Hell and back reliability and if the bumper were not in the way I am convinced it would climb straight up a wall.
