I have done similar mods to my Sport S. But i realize it’s not a Rubicon. There are a lot of capabilities off-road that you can’t easily add. Also once you lift and add bigger tires the gearing differences will be noticeable. So it just depends on what you plan to do with it. If you are going to stay at 33s like i have decided to then the Sport S is a great value.been in my sports for a year and a half now. walked out for under 36K ive put on a few things for cheap. rubi suspension for 150 bucks and the rock rails where only 50 and rubi wheels and tires brand new for 900 bucks cash. basically have a rubi that is well under 45-60K and my payment is half the price it would have been with a rubi. I also said i wouldnt mod my jeep.... well now i have a 2.5" lift on its way and plans to axle swap. etc. but i feel with the rubicon i would have done the same mods i have planed out and would have been 15K* more in debt. thats just my .02 the only down fall is if you like to have a new vehicle every few years the trade in/ resell on a rubi is a little higher.
