normaly aspirated simply means no turbo.
it is truly personal choice as to what you consider is best for you, I have a HZJ105 with a 1hz diesel(non turbo), the petrol 100's cost less and have heaps of punch which equals more fuel consumption of course. Either engine is great but depends on what you want it for if its the city you will probably need a big thirsty 4.5L if you drive like every one else in the big smog.
As for extras, it depends they really do not add any resale to a vehicle, but the good ones to look for are (IMO) window tint,
driving lights, cruise control, bull bar, twin wheels carriers ect. the list is endless.
Also a lot of the aftermaket extras can be purchased secondhand with big savings like cargo barriers and bull bars for instance.
I'd hate to offer any real advice other than checking the redbook before you purchase and get it looked over closely before purchase. The RV's are excellent value offering 8 seats and cloth interior without electric windows.
Ohh any handy extras you install keep the OEM parts to replace them when you sell/upgrade as the aftermarket extras are worth more to you selling them seperately. I learnt that after selling my 75 series ute and leaving
driving lights, and a XD9000 warn winch on it
