If you're really looking to go as cheap as you can, an XJ Cherokee can usually be had for about half the price of a comparable Wrangler.
And in many offroad situations, that little bit of extra wheelbase can really help.

Yeah, but part of the appeal is taking the top off of the jeep, throwing the dogs in the backseat, and heading to the lake. I would like this to be a dual fun vehicle to drive when I don't want to drive my Jetta/something I can play in while offroading. I guess I should also specify that at this point in time I will not be doing any rock climbing or anything too hardcore until I figure out what I am doing.
You guys have given me lots of great advice - thanks so much! I am doing more research, looking at a few jeeps, and slowly figuring out what I need/want. I think for now I am going to buy one that already has some of the major stuff done to it. I don't want to get in over my head and be intimidated at first.
Someone mentioned buying the same parts over and over once I realize I want bigger tires, more lift, etc, etc. I am fully expecting to be one of those people as I get more into it!
