Shorter sidewalls will give you a better roll over angle. Stock roll over for a Disco is 45%, I would never do that, but thats what it is rated at.
Add a lift and you lower that, taller tires and lower it some more.
Keep in mind that you MUST use premium gas and if you cant work on it yourself you will go broke.
Every truck is going to be different obviously, but mine is more reliable than my wifes Volvo.

To answer your original question; It's the big FU to the greenies and their liberal agenda as you drive past them in their prius' dripping oil and burning fossil fuel at 14 mpg as you head out to enjoy the great outdoors. Revealing how hypocritical they are for claiming to be the ones who love the environment when they live in a concrete prison and shackled by their political correctness, never partaking in the thing they claim to protect.
But thats just one.

Biggest advantage for me was buying a vehicle that can go nearly anywhere at low prices due to the resale value that drops like a rock.
There are so many on the market you can be patient and find a 1 owner, with a stack of service records like a phonebook, it'll likely make a reliable vehicle for whatever you want to throw at it.

Now keep in mind that the Camel Trophy trucks are 100% stock.
