Default Going to purchase my first jeep

Hey guys iam lookn into buying my first jeep a 2011 jeep wrangler sport with the ac option and the 3.73 gear option price ($21,045) i wonder what are your thoughts? Do you think i should just go for the sahara upgrade??price (28,095) is it worth all that extra money? as for the just the sport model ill only be doing a few modifications as in tires and rims and a little lift and mabey a few other little things just to make it look abit better and to get into those good fishing spots thanks for any input!

I love my sahara. I could never live without power locks and windows!

I agree the power options are a must. Well if you are not use to power windows or locks you may not notice but I am way to use to that option and couldn't go with out. Plus I have 4 door and kids so the power options are needed I feel.

We love our 08 Sahara...good call on the 3:73 gearing...would also suggest the rear limited slip if you have no plans to add a rear locker later down the road.

Your decision will come down to personal choice...

-some like painted fenders some don't
-power windows ect is nice
-what will you be doing 90% of the time...daily driver? Will you be out 1 a month wheeling?

If you are looking at the sport I'd consider the 32" wheel package...same rims and rubber as the Rubi.

For my second Jeep (to add to the current JKU) I'd go Sport 2 with the 32" tire package, no side steps, 6 Speed, AC and power windows/keyless.

Either way you can't loose, its a Jeep!! Don't forget to wave

my for self I found the limited slip option wasn't that huge to me, since you have the 4 wheel drive.
