While they are not nearly as nifty as the two vehicles you have posted, is there a reason you wouldn’t want to start with an older Tacoma or 4Runner? A 4 cylinder 5 speed 4wd version of one of those would already be fairly efficient fuel wise and fairly capable off-road wise right out of the box. There is also plenty of aftermarket support for those platforms. Not trying to discourage your other ideas, just wondering aloud.
