Check out 4-Runners and Tacomas. Those things run forever.
I bought a '91 S-10 4x4 with 235k miles on it as a secondary vehicle / winter beater a few years ago for $350. Drove it for 2 years and 15k miles with hardly any problems and sold it for $600. I now have a '94 Dodge Dakota 4X4 with 220k miles that I bought for $1200. The thing is in really good condition and rides like a Cadillac. I painted it all matte black and it actually looks pretty decent too.
I still drive my G in the winter, but if it's snowing I take the truck. It comes in handy quite a bit in the summer as well. Also, it's nice to have a second car if your primary is ever in the shop or out of commission for any reason.
