the only feature of the SIII LWB that I have not seen mentioned is the
Salisbury axle (is that only the CSW ?) which is a great improvement to the
strength of the rear end if you are going off road and being a copy of an
American design (Dana 60) has a few more options for gearing and lockers
etc.
I know that trim levels are a separate discussion within the LWB decision
but I LOVE the CSW for the versatility and layout. There are 3 seats across
the back (I think the SII and SIIA are either a single bench or a 2/1 split
bench with possibly a 3 seat layout late in production). This is great
because then 1, 2 or 3 seat backs can be put down depending on what is being
carried or 1 or 3 seats folded up to the back of the front seats. As an
aside I have put 15 boxed bikes in the back of my truck :) and that was
before I took out the rear bench seats. If need be all of the seats behind
the first row can be removed (I currently have the center rear (so I can put
in a bike rack) and the benches on either side are out. But I digress.
He needs to buy a RHD 6 Cyl CSW SIII, Mehetabel is lonely she needs some
sisters in the US :).
