Hate to bust your bubble, but I have wheeled with a very capable rover. Anything out there can be made to wheel. Anything can be customized.

John (madcowdungbeetle) has been claiming to be building a 1 ton Disco for about a year and a half, but hasn't actually accomplished anything until about a month ago. I think its coming together pretty quickly now, but Ill let him tell ya if he sees this.
I bet the guys at roverclubhouse know that rig, and could probably give you background on it.
Rovers are heavy, and generally driven by people who think a "center diff lock" is the same as axle lockers, but that doesn't mean they are junk... But they ARE British... (Can you say "Lucas electronics"?
Still cool rigs though. If that thing was sitting on 37" Krawlers, everyone would say "Cool grocery getter!"
'Nuts did a "buggy" out of (Can't remember his name)'s Discovery.. 1 tons, air shox, fo-dees, etc... Neat rig.

Looks like someone had some money, saw a 4 wheeling video, and decided they wanted to do it too...

I've watched Jordans go up lower 2 and didn't winch when "JEEPS" with 60's and 44's wiched up the go around....oh yeah an Avalanche Sniper on 44's also winched...the Rover made it though...So if I buy this and fix it..any takers?
Jordan, that's right.. I'm so crappy with names.. :(

If that is the place off of 70/98 in Durham with a bunch of Rovers, it is sitting there right now, I see it everyday on my way to work sitting there

That's the place. It's maybe a mile and a half from my house. In fact they're the ones who put me onto this place.

Rovers are outstanding off roaders, IF you can keep them running long enough.
