I would love a jeep but the ride and the gas mileage combined is why I didn't buy one after wrecking my truck last year. But I would love one. I had a cj7 back in the 80's and it was a blast. But after running a backhoe all day,it wasn't the ride I needed.My then wife cried when I sold itAnything wrong with building an off road CJ2A Jeep? Bout the same size as some of these UTVs........ oh, you want independent suspension, roll cage, and maybe more fuel economy....... how bout the Suzuki Samurai from the 80s? Or the old Geo Trackers?
EDIT: I see you've already dismissed the UTV angle and is going for a simple ATV Quad. Well that's awesome I can't say much for the conventional ATVs other than they were fun when I was down in Cabo San Lucas with family for a bit... rode a Honda 500cc thing I think, can't remember..it was back in the late 90s when I was a kid.
I just think a CJ2 tub, a simple V6 from the 80s-90s, maybe even current FWD cars, a 5 speed trans with adapter plate, again depending on what the V6 came from.. and maybe give it independent suspension based on the UTV components but beefed up... kind of like a lifted/beefier M151 Mutt...... would be pretty sweet rig to use, and be bombproof. as for roll cage, just the simple CJ2 jeep roll bar system will be fine. maybe a little boring, because there's quite a few CJ2 and CJ3 jeeps for sale on craigslist from $500 for just parts to $5 grand for a running driving one....
