There are a lot of 4x4s I like. If Isuzus were out of the question, I would probably go with an old Toyota LC-70 (if I could find one). Or an old Bronco or Suzuki Sammy.

If I had the money, a Defender 110 or 90 would certainly be up there in options.

Now, if you are talking new school, it would probably just been a new 4Runner.
