So I am getting to the point where I need a car or preferably a jeep of some kind that fulfills the following criteria:

1. Cheap as possible to buy.
2. Reliable (I do a lot of 50 mile round trips and even more on weekends).
3. Can leave it in a secluded place in the middle of nowhere with no worry of theft of either the vehicle or its wheels etc.
4. Can travel off-road: this is not a specific but it would be nice for the winter/snow/off-road tracks/greenlaning.
5. Will fit a 6ft 8 fat guy in the drivers seat - which means all landrover defenders are not applicable sadly.

Thoughts?

Which one? I see multiple variations, with no idea of which is best for off road?

They will all work off road. The amazon is huge though.

Nissan patrol as well or a toyota hilux crew cab?
