Ok, goofy question, whT are the big differences between a sport and sport s? I have a sport but have power locks, power windows, heated side mirrors, and I’m sure other things that a sport s has. Thanks for any info people are willing to share.
Then you have the Sport S with all of that

You almost certainly have a Sport S. Check sticker and you will see 24S or 23S option package. Power, “tint” rears and other convenience features.
I have the tint also, but the sticker still said it was a sport.....hmmmm

Here’s the sticker, I must be missing something.

I don't think they differentiate the Sport S like they did with the JKs. It really is just a Sport with an additional option package. I bought a Moab but all of my paperwork calls it a Sahara.

It is a sport S and any resale value will reflect that. Power locks/windows is a must for most people so unless you are running doors off all the time or its purely for wheeling...it is a no-brainer option and certainly going to be part of a $40k sport.

Good buddy of mine finally got around to seeing how much flex he could squeeze out of his MC kit we installed. I’m a RK fan but holy that SOB can flex out

It is a very nice kit! My only gripe with it is MC rolls the axle back to obtain proper caster while RK and others push the bottom out. Shortens the stance a little and less approach angle, but that flex makes up for it lol
His MC and my RK for example

I couldn’t find any discussion on my issue so I figured I’d ask here. I added some Rubicon takeoffs to my Sport this weekend and very happy on how they look/fit but I did find that the rear camera cover on the spare doesn’t fit back on now.

Has anyone figured this combo out the the oem spare tire holder? The camera cover seemed basic in setup but worth reusing if possible. I don’t know if there would be any specific risk to the rear camera with the cover off from the elements...

yeah i had the same issue, you can purchase the correct one for under 7 bucks. The camera bezel with the steel wheels is longer and the bezel for the rubi wheels is shorter. heres the link

Thanks. I too had that same issue with the Bezzel. Is that cover even needed? What’s its purpose.

It’s just a pseudo-security device and not much of one at that. You can’t pull the wheel off without removing it but it’s clearly easy to break if needed.

Agreed, for me it was cosmetic and a little bit of OCD of it not being there
