go with a wrangler..they are all over the place out there! and can have a lot of fun with them..If you want to start off with a good platform for some big/cheap potential..look for a 99+ f250/f350 4x4 with any motor..they come with 1tons already..and can find lift kits used all over..as well as wheels and tires..

if you want good mpg..meaning 18+..go for small sized truck..yota, ranger..wranglers get 16-18..anything bigger you will be in the low to mid teens

My first truck was a ranger, easy to get to know and work on. I missed that so much, I went back! The mpg's suck dick in mine tho. That may be to the fact is on 35's with 3.73's. I had it on 33's and the mpg's were pretty decent. Plus you can find them decently priced.

Thanks man, That sig picture is old, I have cut the exhaust up high built a custom rear bumper and trimmed the rear quarter panels so that I can wrap my bumper all the way up to the wheel well, I love this thing, She's on 33's with 3.93 geras gets 18-20 mpg and is pretty capably off road!...and there easy to work on and run forever! Mine has 192*** miles on her and I have only had to do a Wheel bearing!..
