Why do people mod their Jeeps and then not take them offroad?

didn't read all the threads, so someone may have already made this point..
I bought a rubicon, even though I haven't yet taken it off road. to me, it is an insurance policy so that if I ever DO have to go off-road, I CAN go offroad...

I'm putting 21" rims with the lowest profile tires that will fit; lowering it down and adding LED's under it that flash yellow and pink!
Just kidding!
I am also a work in progress; ordered 3" lift and 35's over 15's yesterday - because when my Jeep had less than 200 miles on it I went up tp Uwharrie trails and from that day on I was hooked, and found out that JEEP = Just Empty Every Pocket 
I wheel it and then clean it - I'm OCD on both.

To each their own, but, I agree with Planman that some would love to take them off road but don't know the trails and have nobody to go with. Also, it is a great give back moment to hear the comments from newbies as you've just taken them on their first real trail run.

I mod my JK so I break less things off road. I off road to break things to need more mods. The cycle will hopefully continue because any time spent in the garage is time spent w/o the wife
If I would have met my JK before I met my wife she wouldn't have gotten a ring. The Jeep would have gotten the ring.........and pinion.

I think in the Jeeping world, that percentage of people that "Build for Show" will be a minority. Most of us that mod it, usually will wheel it - but as is always true with anything, there are always exceptions. Like many have said, to each their own.
Looking at the poll numbers, the percentage shows what I was talking about.
