If nothing else, we are getting some good dialog here with varying opinions but much good info in any case.
For the question of a Sport with Max Tow making a good start for an overland vehicle, yes it would. As for adding lockers later, that is always an expensive add on any Jeep that could run you as much as $4000 with labor. For the most part, if you have the money, it's pretty much a good bet to get those options from the factory when you order/buy.
The decrease in the tow rating on the Mojave is mainly due to the softer springs. My first change will be to replace the springs for proper springs for a combination of overlanding and towing.
Finally, the Overland model doesn't really add any option that would make it better for overlanding than any "lessor" models. For the most part you are paying for the name, not the ability to do anything better over a Sport. It's all in the mind, like the Liberty Mutual ads that say "pay for only what you need". ALL insurance companies will sell you the minimum or what you need so it's nothing more than advertising hype, just like the Overland JT
