Go with the proximity key less entry!
That's not how it works. Being in your pocket (or backpack, purse, whatever so long as it is in reasonable proximity) is all that is needed.
I don't have first hand experience with the JL, obviously, but on my (now 13 year old) Acura there is no "button" to push on the door handle - you just grab the handle to open it. I have to do that *anyway* - I just walk up to the car, grab the door handle, the doors (I set mine to unlock all doors vs just driver) unlock, the headlights, interior lights and rocker puddle lights come on and I open the door and get in. You don't want it, that's fine of course, but it works quite differently than you've been describing it.
Go with the Keyless Entry. I wish the techno wizards could come up with options either somewhat smaller to non existent, i.e. a cell phone link (With backup key) would be great. That said, as one of the gals said, it is easy to find in a purse or bag. For me, carrying a clipped knife in the same pocket, it's handy not to have to remove the knife to get to the key.
Very nice looking jeep. Can you please tell me how you went about getting those side steps? I know they are standard on the Sahara and optional for the Sport from the factory but it sounded like you may have ordered them through Mopar separately. They look nice and I’d like to put them on my ordered Rubicon but I do not see anything in the catalog matching those. I just see the tube steps. Thank you!I’m not a pavement princess but I did get the dealer to install the running boards that come on the Sahara. They are much nicer than the ones that came on the JK and with 6 bolts I can take them off when I go to a state with rocks. They definitely keep your doors from getting dinged up. They are great to stand on when riding on the beach and are the only way to get my 80 year old mother in law into the jeep....
Ok, I don't have it. Others have described the button on the door handle as a button you had to push, maybe it is just a sensor for the fob.
Interesting. I've always thought the upgraded Rubicon wheels looked more rugged and the standard ones looked more upscale/fancy.
The whole conversation will be moot once they offer the standard Rubi wheels in graphite powder coat like on the Hella Yella one at the Auto show. Then they will become THE ONLY CHOICE for the thinking Jeeper...(cue mic drop). Anyone who disagrees is a communist tree-hugging Starbucks-loving Walmart-over-Target Subaru-driving vegan. Believe me...
:cwl: (Full disclosure - I love Starbucks dark roast. Black. Wish they had a coffee only line...)
Wait...Starbucks serves coffee?
