Kinda hard to pick between two.. My old 92 Hilux was absolutely unstoppable and went like stink after i threw out the naturally aspirated 2.8L engine and dropped in a factory turbo 3.0L EFI diesel, Lift, lockers and paintwork that was ruined and it just went EVERYWHERE  Only downside was its cramped inside, has a crap driving position and front and rear leaf springs suck arse for comfort, although the Old Man Emu gear went a LONG way to fixing that. Its still in the family though and I still can grab it when needed. The landcruiser tho is still the one i smile into everytime I jump into it, its big, its powerful, its roomy and its comfortable, and even though its IFS its tough as nails offroad. Did a few things to the engine to get it going a bit better- Piggyback ECU chip, bigger exhaust and a bigger intercooler and the thing gets up and fucks off faster than any vehicle that weighs 3.7T has the right to. its awesome at everything- Stick some slightly smaller All Terrains onto it and its a great commuter vehicle and highway cruiser, whack the big mud terrains onto it and it will just go offroad almost anywhere you point it. Once it gets a pair of twin lockers and some scrub bars like the old hilux had it will be just about done. Been ultra reliable too, even after i cooked the engine and destroyed all the big end bearings its still going just as strong and just as hard after a bearing swap.  its our offroad home and kitchen  Our submarine/bog hole depth tester (thats what killed the engine bearings, radiator full of mud from this effort- but not a drop inside!  And my photography platform. I love the drat thing
