because it is fun...use to have a 89 jeep..my daily driver but lucky for me there was a number of old logging trails behind my house...so much fun...that jeep was about 5 years old when I got it but if I was to buy a new one today I would still take it off road. The only thing you will have to remember is "If you want to play you have to pay"....I snapped leaf springs, took out shocks, trashed rims and punctured a few tires...but it was all worth it
