If this is your only vehicle and you don't have much money, i would say start parting it out.
But if you have time skills to make it just for wheeling id go into the tube buggy type build. or you could look into doing a body swap.

Replace the door and fender and go to a pick 'n' pull with a rechargable sawzall and cut the top off of a 4Runner then cut yours to the end of the damage and weld the new one on then have the widshield replaed, or do it yourseld.... Done!

meh - that'll buff out 
No, really - take the dash out, there's a beefy support bar behind it. Take a bottle jack and some wood, and lift up the crushed corner until the window frame is reasonably straight. Get some body panel hammers/dollies from Harbor Freight and go to town.

If you don't know how to do body work then i'd just part it out. One thing is if you try to chop the top off and replace it is, if your not a pro, your doors will never open and shut well and you will never really line up your windshield perfectly and it will leak or whistle unless you do it perfectly. Part it out!
Another tip for you is, never offroad your daily driver if you can't afford to fix it!!!
