The Toyota HZJ78/9 (also known as the "Troopcarrier"). The 4x4 to choose for any serious longterm use. And this coming from the owner of a LR Defender 110 TD5 that travelled the length of africa without a problem...

But I have to face facts, and if this Toyota model was avialable in Norway, that would have been my choice. It will outlast a LR for various reasons, has better workmanship and quality control, the Toyotas 4.2L diesel is what the Defender 110 should have, instead of the LRs much smaller TD5 (or the previous 300TDi). It will simply beat any other 4x4, be they European, American or Japanese in the long run. Which is why it is found all over africa, and prefered by UN, NGOs and military personell all over the 3rd world. When given a choice!

There is one area where a Defender will top the Troopcarrier, and that is when it comes to wheel articulation in uneven terrain. Wheel articulation is important when offroad driving. However a difflock front and rear will even out the differance if used by a driver who knows what he's doing. I've been in several situations where I had to use full diff lock front and rear even with our Defenders long wheel travel though.

There is one other really cool possibility though for those in need of a bit more space in a 4x4, but with not as much increase in total lenth as you might think. The Bremach Extreme :
