Samurais are a bit too trendy in the market these days, I think you could get an equal Tracker/Sidekick for less money and it would convert more easily into a streamlined two-seater with a covered cargo bed--make the cover a Kamm tail and accept a bit more drag when you have to transport a piano (or anything else that would require raising the cover).
+1 on the locked front diff and open rear diff. With locking hubs left unlocked on roads and locked in the poop, you'll have the best of both worlds.
I think a high mileage 4x4 is a fabulous idea--go for it, man!

The kicker for me was when a week long cabin building trip was ruined by us finding a pot grow on our land, had to call the sheriff, he recommended we not hang there till after the grow season, total pain. Want to get out there more, and make more of a presence felt there. In the poor yahoo's defense it looks like the blm land all around it. Need to put up some fences and signs etc. Oh, and work out a sweet high mpg 4x4 so I can be out there more :-)
