Steering should have virtually no free play. Get someone to wiggle the wheel while you look where the free play is. Most likely one (or more) of the tie rod ends, or the bushes on each end of the panhard rod.
Maximum comfortable cruising speed, as far as safety goes is as fast as it will go in normal circumstances. I have a civilian 110 with the N/A Isuzu (which is mechanically almost identical), and my normal cruising speed is 100kph. It has now done 580,000km with no internal work on the engine, and still uses no oil.
In the soft top perentie, speed will probably be somewhat limited by the noise level mainly from wind. You need to remember that this is a truck engine, not a car engine, and it is designed to operate at full throttle, maximum governed rpm all day.
