Same boat as you a couple years back except my wife knows I'm crazy and when I get bit by a bug she just steps aside. Buy the Jeep you will love it more than you hate it although that line gets blurry.
My advice read up and fing a great TJ. Learn on the easy stuff. Finding a mechanic you trust and knows Tjs for the bigger things help, also have this mechanic check the Jeep before you buy if you can will help.
STAY AWAY FROM RUST. Look for rust like a hawk, frame inspection, floor pans under the hood. If you find rot move on no matter how cheap it is. Trust me you dont want to go through the rusty frame fiasco.
Good luck and welcome to the forum. This forum is the best out there and these guys and girls will help you learn as you go.
