Haven't done any mods, but that's why I\m on this site.
Is it a pain in the butt as I've been told by others to use? The other people didn't have Jeeps, so I'm not sure they all work the same. I enjoy using a starter all through the year, but my current vehicle is automatic.

Congrats.

Adding a after market remote start may affect the warranty. Better check it out first. I have a factory remote and love it.

It will be a factory remote if I decide to get one.

Is it a pain in the butt, a little.
There's a couple of steps to follow , but it's not really a big deal.
I debated on getting heated seats or car starter. Thought I'd us the car starter more than I did. lol

Same opinion as GrimsbyAl, if you plan on doing mods, it might not be worth it to go with the Rubi. While others will say you should definitely start with a solid base like the Rubi to start your mods, in my point of view, if you do so, you will eventually switch parts and upgrade what you would originally paid higher for on the Rubi. It was a smart decision to buy the Sahara, now you need to plan your mods in priority by respecting your budget which is the tricky part!! lol

In my opinion and from what I've seen it's more worth your money to start with a Sahara or Sport if you plan on doing any "real" offroading. . . . a stock rubicon can't do anything advanced without a ton of mods . . . and if you're going to mod your jeep the differences between the sahara/sport and rubicon don't matter because you will want better lockers (for example), bigger wheels etc., so the rubicon extras quickly become obsolete because they all need to be upgraded anyways.
