Long-time Wrangler owner, looking for advice on a 4-door Sahara or Rubicon JL. We currently have a 4-door JK Rubicon, and love most of the upgrades...except the "start/stop" thing. Our love for our JK has diminished with the interior quality, lack of creature comforts and dated NAV/Head unit.
Don't get me wrong. We LOVE our Wrangler...but ready for some upgrades.
We DO take it off-road, but only a few times a year when we take a trip up to Northern Michigan...most of our needs are centered around daily driving needs. We do take the top off in the Summer, and have a ceiling winch to take it up easily.
Set in Stone / must haves:
- 4 door
- Mella Yella (I was high on Mojito! but my wife wants a new color...and we've never done yellow)
- Painted Hard Top & Fenders
- LED Lighting
- Keyless Entry / Remote Start
- Hard Top Headliner / Insulation (as we have always added it ourselves)
- 8 speed
- Cold Weather / Heated Seats / Steering Wheel
- Blindspot / Rear view camera.
- 8" NAV / Alpine Audio / Sirius
On the fence:
- Sahara (Like the cost savigs, and DD smoothness...don't like the look as much as Rubicon)
- Rubicon (Love the looks...love the capability, but mostly a Mall Crawler)
- Tow Group?
- Steel Bumper?
- Leather Interior (how does the cloth fare?)
And concerns?
- Has this Steering thing been worked out?
- Any other major issues to look for on a test drive?
Thank you in advance! - Big L
(PS-Here is our outbound beauty and the future home of our JLU!)
