First up.. Fark you.. Lol
Sounds like a hell of an experience..
Make sure you doc it fully.. Will be an awesome read..
Ok down to business. Guessing your looking at utes yea??
If so the plate style brace from superior which runs across the chassis from tower to tower is the go..
If you are using a wagon you need a small body lift to fit this one..
The bolt on one has some issues with certain sub tanks, not the stock 40ltr one but the bigger 75ltr tanks..
I'm with you, you will be busting the gmv..
Lovells do a gmv upgrade kit for the gu utes. Unsure how far back in the fleet it's compatible with but Cuppa has fitted it to his gu ute and from memory was a smidgen over $4000 engineered..
Good move on the td42. You will be paying for it but you know you'll be getting a solid, reliable car..
If your keen seeing you have time you might be able to pick up a blower 3ltr and do a 4.2 conversion.. Plenty have done it and is very achievable..
