Hands down the old Toyota LandCruisers. I've had my Landmonster for over 6 years and love it. Tough, simple, strong, high off the ground, lots of power, price was right, good parts availability, lots of room, can bull my way though traffic (two, three horn airhorns on the front.) Mine is a 1993 with a carb (no computer), 5-speed manual trans and manual hubs. Simplicity defined. Only down side is mine (big straight 6) does use a lot of petrol. Its not plush, but neither is Cambodia. Like I said, parts are a big factor. You can get a Range Rover, but try and get parts or it worked on all over Cambodia. A Toyota? Every little shop can get parts and work on it. BTW/ Those ugly/wide Humvee 2 and 3 you see here are not real Humvees, the are Chev. pickups under the square body. The real Humvee has the best 4-wheel drive independent suspension ever made, Hummer 2/3 do not.
