I recommend a Land Rover, here's my Wolf FFR in 2001 after rolling three times.

Coil springs, nice. I remember helping my Dad to change his LRs springs from Leaf to Coil, one of the rubber washers holding the Leaf spring bolt in had become so perished that it had welded itself to the vehicle. Had to burn it out with a blowtorch in the end

I bet they were able to drive that back to base as well

Sadly not, it went on a DROPS pallet and was displayed at the theatre reception point as a warning to theatre newcomers - our boss hastily visiting it to redact out unit's ID marks - eventually flown back to the UK and repaired but don't know if it came back to our unit.

Seatbelt and rollbar saved my life. Best bit was the Army doctor who eventually looked us over recommended going to the bar and having a couple of cans 'to ease any tension in the muscles'.
