IMO... I view a Jeep differently than I do trucks and cars. When it comes to Jeeps, it can take you off road to places where your life may depend on the strength and integrity of the Jeep. Don't skimp on the features that give you confidence.Here's my dream Sport-S config ($42k):
https://www.jeep.com/bmo.wrangler.2...DA,TQJ,WF9,A7,UAQ,AEK,AJ1,AAN,RC4,AJB,GXD,22S
Upgrades include:
- half doors
- 8.4 in screen
- remote key
- safety group
Here's the bare minimum features I could live with ($36k):
https://www.jeep.com/bmo.wrangler.2...C1,DFT,DLK,Z1H,SDA,TQJ,WF9,A7,UAG,AAN,RC4,22S
- no half doors
- standard screen
- no remote key
- no safety group
I am torn, because while I really want all the additional features, I'm not convinced they're all worth $6k.
Gun to your head, what features would you cut, given these two configs? Is there anything you got in this list that you're unhappy with?
Forget about adding a larger screen later; it’s very expensive If you don’t order right from the start. I’m upgrading my sounds which will cost much more than just getting the Alpine system. Dont know how easy it would be to add OEM doors later. Nothing is easy after delivery. Best plan is to bite the bullet and order what you want now,Can you easily add OEM half doors later?
Are there other features here that are way more annoying to add after-the-fact? Maybe it's best to prioritize that way? Things that are easy to add after its created vs ones that are a PITA to add later.

From what I'm seeing, I'd go with the factory half doors for sure. Who knows how long Bestop is gonna take on their Core doors, and the soft doors Bestop offers have received largely poor reviews. Other than that you're looking at tube and trail doors that aren't going to give you cover from the elements, especially on a moment's notice.Any strong opinions on the half doors? Are there good cheaper after market ones or are the OEM ones the way to go?
That's my JK. Went a little crazy on the JLR, but love that simple jeep.Probably don't want me to answer this one.... I went with a 2 door, roll up windows, manual locks, small screen, soft top, and manual tranny. I am around tech all day at work and it is a refreshing change to get away from it all when in the Jeep....
Adding an 8.4" radio to one with 7" is a 10 min job provided you have the unlock code and bezel. if you're referring to the actually Alpine audio, yea I wouldn't want to mess with that aftermarket and if that's a concern a would add it to the order.Forget about adding a larger screen later; it’s very expensive If you don’t order right from the start.

Please tell me more? Get it from dealer?Adding an 8.4" radio to one with 7" is a 10 min job provided you have the unlock code and bezel. if you're referring to the actually Alpine audio, yea I wouldn't want to mess with that aftermarket and if that's a concern a would add it to the order.
You can from the dealer or a couple other websites but I think most people, including myself, just pick up a used one from Craigslist or another forum member. You need the 4 digit unlock code (which they need to get from the dealer) and the bezel. There's a couple minor issues like the LTE won't work but there's another huge thread on that somewhere.Please tell me more? Get it from dealer?
