Let's not overlook the OP's original statement of need:
"I need a vehicle that can support my work in the outdoor industry without drawing too much attention from corporate clients."
In other words, he needs an all-around vehicle. A truck with 37 inch tires and a welder on board will be right at home in the parking area for the "King of the Hammers" competition, but may not be the right choice for business use.
That's why a 4Runner or Grand Cherokee or Discovery could be a better choice. Sure, a Rubicon will make it up a 4+ trail with less body damage, but that's not the point. We're talking compromise here.
