My vote is to buy a 2007/2008 WK CRD...
Honestly your best bet is to fly to JNB and buy a used Land Cruiser or Hilux...get is setup the way you want it and hit the road.
Dan you have prolly thought about it already but I would pack a Mr. Funnel for all refueling....

QD2 is not similar to the Rubicon...Electronic Limited Slips Diff (ELSDs) are never "locked permanently" like the Rubicon lockers or an ARB air locker. The ELSD is avariable system locking and unlocking the diff based on available traction using clutch packs....also you have no manual control...
AT3/K02 is a better daily driving tire...lighter, better mpg, better siping, probably better in snow.
The ST Maxx is a great tire and compared to the DuraTrac for instance is a lot quieter. I went with the ST Maxx purely because I could get a 255/75/17C load tire in a 3ply. Tires are...
Check out what I did...I can get you the bracket part #s tomorrow..purchased them at Home Depot. The hardware can also be purchased there...I just used a bolt that has the square edges. The key is to tighten down the bolt and nut so you have just enough space to slide onto the Thule bar with...
I would really be honest and take a look at what you do with the vehicle...daily driving and gravel roads on the weekend I would go AT3. I am currently running the ST Maxx but I do not daily drive my Jeep....if I was I would have the AT3 or KO2.
holy ****....I have heard about liftgate struts going bad but I have never heard about a CRD attacking someone...bad mojo on that one...I would stay far far away from that one....
I know we bash the interior of the WK...but a good comparison for the WK is the latest 4Runner for dimensions...I will say that the 4Runner does win in the payload capacity and cargo volume though...but the WK does match it on interior user space...
Overall Length
WK = 186"
4R Trail = 191"...
WK CRD is a great platform....see my build thread. It is cramped on interior space, but the diesel makes up for that...fully loaded it is a great driving experience...
Even though Jeep says it can tow over 7000lbs the short wb will be an issue for heavy trailers. If I was going to be...
