Trail management. I figured the aftermarket may have something better, if not I'll just add the Mopar one.

Haven't ordered yet. But I would have gotten LED package if it was available on Sport S. I could get a Sahara for about the same price and then add LED package but I don't want a Sahara.

And I am holding out for Sting-Gray though the wait is killing me.

As of now I've give up sting gray as well. Kept bouncing back and forth on leather, but ultimately decided against it. Other than that, lm getting everything I want. My order is still in D, so I have plenty of time to switch to gray if it becomes available soon

I think I would have liked the tan cloth interior in a Rubicon. Oh well.. Went with black. Wanted the rail management system as well.

Blind spot assist.. guaranteed I’ll rip it off. Went with weather tech instead of Mopar mats, don’t like heated seats so I didn’t get those, got black top instead of paint... other than that I got everything else the rest is dealer installed including the Mopar Lift, color matched MotoMetal wheels, reinforced tailgate, Bull Bar and a 10k Engo synthetic winch for the stock steel bumper, A pillar square LED’s and 14” Bull Bar LED, skipping the window light bar because it made way too much noise on my JK..... still waiting to make up my mind on 35’s or 37’s....

I ordered a Sport with every option, but the only things I wish I could get were LEDs, leather, and color matched fenders. All easily doable with aftermarket though

I gave up several options due to cost, limited choices, and better aftermarket products.

I chose not to go with leather seats due to cost and limited color choices. I feel I could install aftermarket leather myself at the same price with more choices of patterns and colors.

Another option I skipped on was steel bumpers. I agree the Mopar steel bumpers look great but the aftermarket will soon have many choices that include winch mounts and recovery points that could be used with a tow bar for flat towing of the Jeep.

I also passed on was the Dual top group. I was worried about delaying my order and the soft top is a pain to store.

Last option I passed on was the upgraded Rubicon wheels. I will eventually go with some Hutchinson bead locks.

Blind spot assist, there's a backup camera and I added the 3.5 inch round mirrors to the stock mirrors. No more blind spots and I can view the entire side of our Jeep while wheeling.

Same for me, but I got white and I think I'll be happy with it.

In time, you'll have better and cheaper 3rd party options here.
