    Can I get by without 4x4

    No 4x4 no problem, I have a friend that has the same vehicle as you and all he has is and 8000 lbs winch and he keeps up with my Rubicon on easy to moderate trails. He is think about a rear locker. Not have having 4x4 is not a game changer. Have fun and Roll Tide.

    Winches

    If your vehicle is wired to use the winch on the back as well as the front it would prove to be very useful. Had a service truck setup that way.

    I had a disco2, first thing I did was swap the engine to and LS1 and scrap the lr engine. Ran great until I went on holiday and someone stole it and turned it into a smor maker. Go with the Toyota for reliability, if you get the disco you better have a good set of tools.

    20 inch wheels pros and cons?

    When you change your wheel size take a look at the load rating. The only thing I know is the smaller the sidewall the higher the price. I went from 15" wheel to 16" wheels because of the load rating.
