Personally i would spend my money on a standard one and do it up over time rather than buying a tricked up truck that has been abused offroad and bodged to hell....... IMHO only but it is what i did and so far it is paying off........
deepender:
Agree, having a standard one and buying and adding your own goodies is most of the fun, i have seen vehicles so abused off road it makes you cringe, a quick crawl underneath will show any heavy off road use.

A decent set of tyres is all you need to begin with, LR got it right when the developed the vehicle and many other additions are personal preference or vanity. Start with a sound, standard vehicle and adapt/modify it as & how you see fit, no point paying for a vehicle in poor condition which is fitted with all sorts of extras when you migh bypass a good vehicle in standard, unmolested condition.
I'm not saying that all extras are a waste of money (I always adapt my vehicles to suite my personal preference) but a decent driver will see a standard vehicle through the rough stuff a lot better & smoother than a poor driver in a 'tricked up' machine.
