- 2018 JLU Sahara
The wheels and a/t tires on the Sahara were off my my jeep within 12 hours of getting home. I had a set of Rubi takeoffs in the garage waiting. So that was another $1200 on top of my build. In the end I could have easily purchased a Rubicon for what I spent, but knew what I wanted and would use.Quoted for truth.
One of the reasons i went with the Rubicon is because when i built a loaded Sport S with what i wanted (automatic, anti-spin diff, tech grp, convenience grp, cold weather grp, hard top, alpine, headliner, leather) i was already at $46K and i'd still be without the 8.4in screen, proximity and have the ugly (in my opinion) wheels.
Then i said, "ok, at $46K on a Sport S, how much is the bump to a Sahara", and built one with automatic tranny, anti-spin diff, select-trac, cold weather, 8.4" / premium audio, active safety group, hard top, leather, headliner, remote start and proximity key and it came to $50.4K, so $2.5K less than what my Rubicon build was with the same packages/options. At that point i just made the decision to go for the Rubicon. To me, the $7K jump from Sport S to Rubicon was worth it.
Options and packages add up SUPER QUICK in these JLs but if you don't care too much for them and go more towards base builds, the Sport S makes a lot of sense.
Those Sahara wheel/tires had to go though. At least I got something back when I sold them.
