But again, I'm not looking to travel at HIGH speeds: off pavement, 20-40 mph would be perfectly reasonable. (Of course it would have good high gear(s) for highway travel, too.)
The other issue for me is comfortable seating. The Jeeps (and pickups/SUVs) sit up too high off the ground, and have seats that force an uncomfortable upright posture, so that (if you don't have feet on pedals) you can sit in the seat with knees bent at a 90 degree angle and have your feet flat on the floor. I want a comfortable, semi-reclining posture.

With Bridgestone Ecopias on 4"x19" Ford wire wheels so it looks like a Bearcat?

Yeah, though it's not (just) for looks. The larger your tire diameter, the less it's going to be affected by potholes & washboarding.
