Alright, so I've been researching the prospect of buying a Jeep to spend time with my family, going on adventures with the likeness to Barstow to Vegas and various mountain trails.
But, I have come to the realization that off-roading has a higher takumi tax than initial d cars. Jeeps are horrendously overpriced and anything "trail rated" has a $10k tax on it. Why?!
Is there anything that meets in the middle? I just want working A/C and the ability to drive long distances on extended OHV trails.

horrible decision 2.bh fa.m
Old yota, old XJ
"Trail rated" is a meme.
I got around just fine, even kept up with newer Rubicon jeeps, with a mostly stock 1994 Pathfinder. Even on harder trails I never had much of an issue.
Mods were a body lift and 32 inch BFG baja claws.
You don't need "Trail rated" for every-day ORV shenanigans. Rock crawling is the only thing that I can think of being more important to have a trail rating, and even then I would just buy something and build it instead of paying for it stock from jeep.
is that your house now? geez dude.
Lol I took the pic you're referencing like 50 feet to the right of that one, but no, it's not my house.
This is my house.
"Trail rated" is for faggots.
Get an XJ and build it up for overlanding/light rock crawling
WTF is trail rated?
honestly jeep wranglers went up in value because of 'liberated' 20-35 year old women who want to look 'independent'. they'll spend anything to maintain an image, so blame them.
honestly anything that has a locking rear diff and 33" offroad tires will be able to hang with some throttle and lack of respect for body panels
No idea.
Really, I have no idea. Looking at cars it seems that it can be anything from a bag of tools that come with the car, to simply a parts group added to the car. Stuff like tires, or what kind of seats it has.
