| Tall skinny tires, BFG A/T's will be best..keep to 16" wheels and remember to focus on max mpg as that will keep cost down and refuel issues at bay.
Baseline the rig, make sure everything is setup to handle lots of vibration/dust...no loose wire, solid clamps & tiedowns underdash, underhood and under the rig.
Like others have said it will be planning, scheduling and people that will matter more than the equipment.
Keep the gear to a min, tire repair kit, good camp kit for hygiene and comfort, decent gps and maps, and a great attitude will get to far.
Keep us posted and feel free to contact me for more info on the non-profit/overlanding aspects if you want...plus we are based out of Arizona and might want to join you for taking prosthetic parts and wheelchairs.
good luck and keep us posted
