Haven't got one atm but had a few in the past:
Daihatsu F50 2.5 Diesel with Suzuki sj shell. It was a beastie, loved it!
Range Rover bobtail, 3.5 v8. It made the best sound ever, I've got it as my ring tone 
SJ410. Top speed around 45mph, but skipped past landrovers off road

Are the wheels bigger i assume? Been looking at them tyres already. £300 for 4.
I understand tyres are everything so we are going to get some 80/20% offroad/road tyres.
