Default 2011 Rubicon mid-year changes

Does anyone know what, if any, mid-year 2011 model year changes were made on the Rubicon Unlimited? My debate goes on with waiting for a '12 or getting a great deal on a remaining '11, I've noticed pricing changes that occurred at some point during the model year. Where there any actual changes in equipment that changed prices or was is just a price adjustment?

Thanks

No changes to any 2011 Wranglers that I know about. The 2012's will be available to order sometime in June, I think.

however,
you know they DID make changes on the interior on the 2011 model in general... the coolest being the hinge to the rear gate!

But there were no mid-year 2011 changes to my knowledge.

actually there was one slight change...the 730N RER media center was replace with the 730N RHR model starting in early January.

otherwise, no MID-year changes.

Thanks everyone. I wasn't aware of any either, but with the base MSRP being different on a few stickers I've seen, which I'm assuming is an early MY11 build vs a later MY11 build, I thought I would ask. Now for the hard part...to wait or not to wait for the '12. If it wasn't for my annual trek to Colorado coming up to run the trails around Montezuma, it would be a no-brainer to wait for the '12....but I'd love a Rubi for this year's trip.

I do think there was a change over.. my 430n was only $800 on my sticker.. other Jeeps I looked at were significantly more? :shrug:

I'm wondering if any of the changes were substantial enough that if I'm going to buy an '11 that I should make sure it was a 2nd half MY since there are apparently still some 1st half Rubi's floating around.
