Still researching

I guess a couple of questions you have to ask yourself would be:
1) what type of offroading you going to be doing? hardcore trails or gravel roads?
2) do you want a no frills sport or X with wind up windows or a full spec rubicon with all the bells and whistles.
3) soft-top or hard top?
4) whats your budget? do you plan to mod?
do some searches and you will find a lot of info bud
