Okay, here is the updated build sheet and pricing.
I dropped the steel bumpers. I do like the look, but it is expensive vs aftermarket options that will be coming out. Plus, there is a good chance I could buy the steel bumpers from someone taking theirs off.

The two options I am struggling with are the Dual Tops and the Safety Group.

Dual Tops - I just don't know that I need the hard top. With the active noise cancellation, the soft top was really quiet when I did my road test. Also, where in the heck would I store it? I guess I would have to build a lift but that may not work well in my garage due to a large steel beam going across the garage??? Help me decide.

Safety Group - Would this beep constantly when offroad? Seems like every tree, rock or log would set off the proximity alarms and make the Jeep beep or flash at me for hours on end while riding trails? Am I right, wrong?

Other than these two issues, I think I have it pretty close to what I would want. Take a look, see if I am missing anything, or mispriced any items. Thanks in advance!

Someone in another thread mentioned the benefit of the dual top group. You get the premium top. If you decide you want to sell the hard top, you can do it for a profit. I think it's a no-brainer with that considered.
I'm definitely going with the safety group and advanced. As I mentioned earlier it is mostly to get the adaptive cruise in the advanced. I wouldn't buy another vehicle without it and want as many safety features as possible since it'll haul my family. I know a lot of people hate them, I love them. The only situation where I think there would be any alerts going off while offroad is if you're in reverse backing toward an object.

Ahhhh okay, I did not realize it was the premium soft top. I just assumed it was the lesser top. If this is true, then I too would do the dual top just to have the option.

Forgot about the adaptive cruise. I am really trying to decide if this will be my DD or not. I will keep my GX 460 for a while just to be sure. Are you going with the stock 33" tires for a while or upgrading from day 1? I love the look fo 37's but don't need them right away.

As it's going to be my DD and I want it to remain as fuel efficient as possible and it's a lot of up-front dough, I'm planning to stick with the 33's at least until they're warn out... but I can't even leave a lawnmower stock, so...

IMO... Definately get the LED package. Skip the leather and go Katzkins later if you don't like the cloth.
Great advice! I totally agree
