rubicon or a h1 is prob the best you can get straight from the dealer in america.
in iceland they take old ass willys, stuff them with powerful engines and tweak everything else to make some of the most balls-to-the-wall 4x4s on the planet.

this is what they do:

i personaly think that the Mitsubishi pajero is the best. IT has won the dakar rally how many times and thats is a reall off road rally not just dirt tracks. You make your own track from one side of the dakar to the other (i think).

the pajero's pretty good, but in the real tough stuff that people go through over here, cars like the defender, patrol and landcruiser that still have front and rear beam axles with enough diesel power are considered the best. the dakar rally looks like more of a test of endurance more than a test of off-road ability, and the front and rear independant suspension on the pajero probably come into play there
