Suzuki SJ's are very capable and like mechano to work on. Its hard to find a solid one these days though as they are prone to rusting

Probably one of the best out there for the money, very light and nimble for an offroader and surprisingly robust.
Fourtraks are also worth a shout for a grand. My mate picked up a 2.8td fieldman for 600 notes 2 years ago.

I would get anything with proper 4WD eg with a centre diff that can lock.

Not that high though.
The older mk1+mk2's don't have centre diffs.
