Great great points. I also won't be wheeling a ton. I just like Rubicon hood vents and extra height (without having to get a lift).Honestly, the red Rubicon accents are 80% of the reason I have a Sahara and not a Rubicon. I did *extensive* research on this before ordering. It is stupid expensive to truly get rid of them, but there are basically 3 ways to do it (4 if you count just buying a Sahara. ):
As I'm not likely to be doing many trails that need a Rubicon (that a Sahara can't handle), I'm happy with my Sahara.
- Order a 4xe = probably the easiest, but also the most expensive. The 4xe comes with a BEAUTIFUL set of blue accents. They're just lovely. The tax credit makes this a bit better, but it's still a premium.
- Order black cloth/leather and remove yourself = cheapest, but a hassle. The dash panels and decals are obviously pretty easy to get rid of. It's the stitching that's a pain. Red stitching EVERYWHERE. The most common DIY solution is a fabric marker, but this is tedious as you have to go over every single thread, and it risks that coming off on your clothes/hands over time. No thanks.
- Order tan leather interior (to get grey stitching/accents) and then use Katskinz to go back to black = pretty pricey. It's $1.7K for the tan leather, and then another $1.8K for Katskinz (in my area) to go back to black. So you're dropping ~$4K extra (on top of Rubicon pricing) just to get a normal colored interior.
Has anyone come across a good chart to highlight spec / feature differences across models?
