Another advantage of Landies is that you can start on the limitless possibilities of upgrades and accessories, you can go absolutely mental blinging them up if you want.
For driving any distance, absolutely top of the list has to be a Roamerdrive overdrive if you don't already have one. They used to be called Roverdrive but I think they got into legal hassle from Rover. Adds another 30% to your gear ratios so 70mph cruising on motorways becomes easy rather than something to be endured. Pricey but well worth it.
