I think you need to look at the "total cost of ownership" and decide if the additional expense is a good trade off for the fun you will have with your rig. Knowing that there is deminishing returns as things get more expensive.

Total Cost would include - Truck to pull trailer, Trailer to hold JUGGY, repairs to JUGGY when you beat on it. (its tough not industructable) Nice larger components mean larger expenses when they break. 44" tires cost a lot more than 37s. And you have to compare that to the increased enjoyment of ownership. If when you go willing now its a 5/10 experience and this new JUGGY will make it a 10/10 then you have to weigh that against the expense. If now is pretty great 8/10 and the Juggy is better 9/10 you have to ask yourself is this nominal increase in enjoyment worth the expense. You also need to consider the downside of the new situation. If you can just go outside jump in the Jeep and go vs. hitching up the trailer and all that may entail (storage off-site) parking/space challenges. Does this make it less enjoyable and yet more expensive.

I know a lot of people who own boats that don't use them because the "hassle" of getting the boat from storage and loading it in the water and then putting it back in storage are too much trouble for the day of fun on the lake. The last thing you would want is to wheel "less" because its more of an effort to do it.

I personally would love to have a custom Buggy but would not trade my Jeep to get it. Moab would not have been half as much fun if everyday I had to load and unload a buggy. Not to mention of all the trails I saw and ran there were only a handful of "optional" lines I could have taken that I didn't.

Lastly, I would say make sure you are getting a vehicle that does what you want to do. Its fun to run up to Prairie City for an afternoon or up to Wentworth Springs or Strawberry. If these are the places you go is the JUGGY going to make those places better or possible prevent you from going as often and being kinda board when you get there. Sometime I wish I had a slightly smaller tire, not all the time, but every now and then. Part of the fun is the challenge on the trail. But that is my opinion not everyone feels the same way.
