John,
If you've decided to join the Taliban then it's a Toyota you need mate.
Preferably one with a nice roll-bar to strap the AK47 to!

Nissan Navara crewcab.
or the Ford Ranger, same motor. Toyota Hilux is the taleban choice and that's available in crewcab as well. Don't know about the bed
length though.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Howz about this then.............?

Ok so it's not 4x4 so what you really need is a UNIMOG
7 out of 10 people suffer with hemorrhoids. Does that mean the other 3 enjoy them?

Defender 130 Crewcab

Git yerself a Ford
With the exchange rate in your favor..(1Lb=$1.85) What you need is something like this....
Big damn truck
It's what we all frive here in the sticks.
Seriously though, look into a 130 or a 110 crewcab 300TDi, just like the one I had.
