With these rigs running 15k$+, why not get a beat up Tracker/Sidekick, Tacoma, or even a CJ5, and build it up?
A CJ chassis and a 4BT will set you back 5-6 grand, torque out the ass with 30+MPG and 10k left over for upgrades...You even have PTO options for things like log splitters if it's a 'homestead' truck..
Hell, for 15k$ you could get a HMMWV..

More expensive but drive chain rather than drive belt. (less breakage in winter.)
Need dump capability for beer when visiting co-worker/neighbor in MT, 1/4 mile from us, in same Land Owners Assc area.
Need street legal 70 mph for bar hopping 1.5 miles from property.
Converts to 5 pax with a simple flip of the rear dump area.
Great for plowing driveway in winter, and dodging logging trucks in summer.
Hunting rig to get to the highlands in MT.
Easily converted to slow snowmobile (limited to roads and under 12" of snow)
