If you want to offroad, old and cheap is better.

There are certain features to look for (axles, options, don't get the 4 cyl wrangler) that are pretty well documented on jeep forums.

Anytime you wheel a vehicle on a real trail, there's a risk it doesn't come back. Better to do it with a cheap hobby car than something shiny and new.
