8. Mercedes-Benz G650 Landaulet

The ICON FJ40 Roadster was unveiled at the 2017 SEMA exhibition and is based on the legendary FJ40 generation Toyota Land Cruiser that was created in the 1960s. The truck retains its tough appearance, but it loses its doors and windows, and its metal top is replaced with a removable piece of cloth.
10. Mercedes-Benz G250D Wolf by Legacy Overland
Despite the fact that the new G-Class looks quite similar to its predecessors, genuine aficionados of robust 4x4s continue to choose its unmatched, military grade variants. Legacy Overland, based in Connecticut, is one of these enthusiasts, having restored the 1990 W461.4, also known as the G-Wagen Wolf, to its former glory.
