I'm thinking of buying a 12' dingy and carrying it on the roof of my 75 series Landcruiser. My problem is that i'm worried about the weight placed on the car (
suspension). Would I be better off going for a smaller 10' tinny or does it not make much difference? Would like to use the boat for fishing offshore and in rivers. And what would the minimum size outboard you would recommend.

Having done what you are doing with a troopy years ago I'd get the 12' and a 15 hp as a minimum. I tried a 10' and 10hp, no where big enough especially up north, we couldn't go upstream against the tide on the alligator, never mind that the crunchitalls were bigger than the boat.
Even with the Savage 12' and a 15hp the ocean and some of the rivers are still big
places. With 4 people on board running along the coast it was touch and go against the current.
