Re: Mojave Edition 2012
I was wondering about that, because I see some Sports on the dealers lot that have the Rubicon wheels & tires. So just because it's not offered/listed on Jeep.ca as an option does not necessarily mean it's unavailable? I don't (think) I need a Rubicon but I also don't like the 18" wheels or two tone bumpers on the Sahara. A Sport with Rubi wheels, a few options, and heated seats would fit the bill nicely though!

Re: Mojave Edition 2012
The silver panels on the Sahara bumper come off with a couple of screws leaving a standard black bumper and if you like Rubi wheels you can have the dealer put them on a Sahara as well.
But in all honesty, if you are going to wheel it at all just get a Rubicon to start with. Especially if you start to mod it, you'll wish you had of gotten the Rubi with 4.10 gears..
I will be trading my 08 Sahara in on a Rubi within the next month or so..

I don't see much wheeling beyond forest access/logging roads ( some abandoned ) but this would also be my primary DD. It's not about the money, is a Rubi as good a DD as Sahara or Sport?

Re: Mojave Edition 2012
Both plastic panels come off, problem with the back is the half dozen hex headed screws that hold the upper lip in place are impossible to remove because the top of the bump is sooo close to the body you can't get anything into the gap to remove them, short of removing the whole rear bumper.
