Hey everyone, I'm in the market for a new JLU. I really want to go with a Rubicon. Love the way it looks. The larger tires, the Rubicon hood, everything about it. I didn't like the red dash interior (I want to go with wither Black or Granite with black leather) until I test drive a black Rubicon last week. I don't mind the red at all now. The only things I don't like are that it does not come with step rails (I have a wife and 2 small children that will need them) and the price. I can get a Sahara with the same options from a better price obviously.
I have 16 months left on my RAM 1500 Laramie lease. Looks like right now I'm about $10,000 negative so I have to wait, so I have time to figure everything out.
If I go with a Rubicon, can I replace the rock rails with side steps? Do you think steps will become a factory option in the future? I'm also not going to be doing a LOT of off road driving. In the summer, we take the truck down to the beaches of Long Island but other than that it doesn't go off road very often. I need it to be good in the snow and NY winter weather.
I has a 96 2 door and a 2007 JKU. Love Wranglers and have missed driving one. I've always wanted one with larger tires and a bit of a lift. The Rubicon has such a mean look to it compared to the Sahara in my eyes. If I go with a Sahara, it has everything out the door I need for my family and I would in the future with with bigger tires (33 or 35") and maybe a small lift. Also, the Sahara save me some money out the door at the dealership. I'f I go with the Rubicon, I get the look I like more but have to do something about steps for the family. the Rubicon also costs more.
1st world, problems, I know...
I am so confused with what I should do. Any input or opinions would be appreciated!
