If I take a Sport S and add the LED lights, Rubicon suspension, Rubicon steel front and rear bumpers and the hood do I have a Rubicon? If I take a Rubicon and replace the suspension, wheels, tires, hood, put on a big stinger is it still a Rubicon? Is it possible to make a Rubicon a Sahara if I change enough crap? Move a Sport S upstream into a Sahara or Rubicon?

Or is it just a bunch of letters on a title somewhere?

Just curious

Basically you don’t get built in lockers, Dana 4:10 rears and electronic sway bar disconnect if you don’t buy a Rubicon. . Is that important to you? Would probably never get people here to agree on that.

oooh - electronic sway bar disconnect. That would be nice - no crawling under the JL.

People are spending $500 + For on-board air compressors. I guess anything goes
Yesterday I picked up Rubicon Steel Front and Rear bumpers with LED and tow hitch for $600 off a JL with 500 miles - feel like I won the lottery

Holy cow, you sure did. I paid a lot more just for the front.

Beyond the obvious superficial items; gearing, different t-case, axles(wide), lockers, sway-bar disconnect

It's just a package of component that make a trim level, but don't forget the VIN! The 7th digit of the VIN will indicate the trim level... So changing parts to match with make it look and/perform like the other, but cannot be mistaken for.

:jk:
A = 2-door Sport
B = 2-door ??
C = 2-door Rubicon
D = 4-door Sport
E = 4-door Sahara
F = 4-door Rubicon

Don’t forget Fancy stitching, red tow hooks and a pretty red dash ;)
My Punk'n Rubi didn't come with the red dash, certain colors don't. I'm not sure why they went that way. They put red accents on the "RUBICON", red tow hooks front & rear, and red accent badges that look really good with the orange, not sure why they didn't put it on the dash too. But the gray dash looks classy... not sure I want to spend $ to find out if I like the red dash better or not.
