Not sure where to post this.
I will soon be ordering my first Jeep, a new 4 door Rubicon. I plan to off road a lot with some rock crawling, and I will likely add a lift kit and 35" or 37" tires in a year or so. I live in Southern California, but will make occasional trips to mountain snow. Also will probably off road over 100F occasionally.
I will get either the 2L turbo or the 3.6 V6. Automatic trans for sure. I plan on getting the off road camera, 8.4" + premium audio, trailer tow/electrical, remote proximity keyless entry, & steel bumper.
What are other must have or should get options, particularly from these listed below? Anything I should skip?
I want the safety group for blind spot and cross path detection, but I will likely eventually replace the rear bumper to carry a larger tire, gas can, and high jack. Should I skip the safety group?
I have read the LED lights are recommended, but are they really worth the $1295 (MSRP)?
I'm leaning towards cloth seats, but is there a compelling reason to get leather seats?
How about the optional Heavy-Duty Rock Slider with Step Assist by Mopar®? Are they the right size, or do they stick out too far for rock crawling? Are those really strong and worth the cost, or should I get aftermarket sliders?
Cold weather option?
Thanks to all who reply.
