Most folks in the club are not on their first rig , I'm on ... well ..... my forth or fifth I beat the crap out of my first little Cherokee and then decided I wanted a trail only rig so I sold the little cherokee and started over. I have built several trail only rigs and now I have made the swing back to a dual street and trail rig , I just like to be able to jump in the jeep and run around town... but that's another story . The point to this is , this will not be your last rig . So start out simple , join a club , ask for help , and have fun and learn a little bit at a time. Most members will help you out with little fab jobs or even all out builds and we also have connections with fab shops and have members that own them . Find a jeep that you like that is not an all out trail rig , make sure it is in good shape ( stock or not ) , some minor add ons are a plus but not a deal breaker , add some things to make it yours and then come out to Haspin or somewhere else and have fun and meet the members , then you can decide how crazy you want to get with it on your own time.

Sarge, said it well. Totally agree, except maybe shoot for a 4.0, but don't rule out a good deal on a 4cyl either
