If you are only going to take it out on moderate trails a few times a year, get a Sport or Sahara . Sport does not have the side air bag option, remote start option, navigation option (2011’s have topo maps) so my vote is Sahara

Agree with the above post.. what are your intents with this Jeep? You could get a lift and 35s on an X for less than a Rubicon.. which looks pretty awesome.
Anyone think it may be safe to say that deals will be easier to get on 2011s once the 2012s come to dealers with the Pentastar?

For me, it was mindset when it cam to purchase my 09 Rubicon. I thought (and still do) that it is better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it. The options on a Rubicon are great and when you do need to pull them out and use them, you'll be glad that you did. On the other hand, there is a mind set to get a bare bones one and put all the parts you want in it. So, do you have the time, money and resources? Take your pick.

My $.02...I bought a Sahara in '08 and was very happy. Then I started wheeling it and quickly came to the realization that I should have gotten the Rubi.
2-1/2 years later...I picked up my new Unlimited Rubi a few weeks ago and unloaded the Sahara, it feels really good! I would get the Rubi, you won't regret it unless your going to go crazy with the mods.

If you are going to do big rubber, you will need to re-gear. These are the kinds of questions that you need to ask
The guys on the forum are not shy about their opinions - right or wrong
But if you read enough you will
1) become addicted to the forum
2)learn a lot about jeeps and build options
and 3) change your mind about what to mod next every night
Don't rely on this thread. Keep ready - you're not the first to ask the question.
