[Sherpa 60]

Back door import of a 70 series troopie would be it for me.

80 series? in U.S. form IMO it is way to complicated to be a serious expedition vehicle. I loved the ride and power of my 80, but electric glitches really put me off...and the cost to repair was astronomical. Thank god for extended warranties. And, remember you gotta flat tow those beasts, or pull the driveshafts (as I had to do coming out of Canyonlands!).

Sold the 80 ten years ago and built my 60. Properly set up it is a decent long range vehicle and dead nuts reliable. Can't cover ground like my 80, but it is a whole lot simplier and that can be big plus.

The 70 series is kind of the best of both worlds, newer technology, but simple as well...and readily available in North America with a diesel.
