budget, performance, capability etc...
The recommendations for second generation broncos aren't bad.
Solid axles, coil sprung front, disc brakes up front, power steering, power brakes, short wheel base, soft ride, not terribly heavy. D44 front axles and 9" rears are well supported in the aftermarket with traction devices and gears.
78-79 bronco with an inline 6, 4 speed trans, part time T-case, slight lift, 33x10.5 tires, lim slip devices in both diffs, a good winch... that would be cool.
Mice would be the same as all that but it would be an F150 because I like to throw my dead critters in back where the meat can stay cold. lol
