If an engine and applicable tranny and etc weighs 850lbs (this figure was not established...help us 4X4! lol) then the equivalent in the engine at 100lbs plus battery bank would be 390 AH at 60 volt.

From there, the range calculations don't seem too extreme.

Add the solar panels, drop the turbines for this debate as I am way too lazy and drunk to draw up and post a schematic and I'm no expert in this stuff, but I would give it a good try.
