My first thought would be, what's your budget?
Second. If you're on a tight budget (most of us are). Don't go with more horses than your drive train can handle. Otherwise to strengthen everything up for it can get really expensive.

Nice.
An auto seems the way to go, so all the hardcore 4X4 fellas say.
A locker would be a must though yeah?
