If the question is "what would you drive if you could have anything you want?" I would say new Jimny, or a frame-off freshened sami with Toyota axles, gears, coils, ARB's, and a suzuki V-6 on 35's.
If the question is "What would you drive in the real world?" I would say a 90's Toyota pickup, extented cab(for kids), flatbed, small lift, on 33's. This truck would suit most of my needs affordably.
