while i'm waiting, for me i traded in my 11 sport for a 12 rubicon. my sport was bone stock. no power locks, windows, remote start. nothing. i had a lift rims and tires on it. my new 12 has every option available. heated seats, power and heated mirrors, everything but leather. those were some thing i could never do to my sport. the push button sway bar and factory lockers are nice, sure they might break, but everything wears out over time. dana 44 up front and extra shit like a factory tranny cooler and evap skid plates are nice. the extra hp and better tranny are night and day from my 11. just why i traded my sport for a new rubicon. life sucks without power locks and windows..

That sounds just like my story. My 10 sport was great but it was no rubi. With what i paid for my rubi, there is no way you could add a new front axle, front and rear lockers, 4.10 gears and transfer case, leather and nav to a sport and come out ahead. I think its great to disco with a button instead of getting out and pulling pins and securing manual discos.

i agree, nav is nice, threw out my tom tom. the diffrence in the stero systems was even way better. if a person is just gonna build a dedicated rock crawler, then i'd say build up a sport. but if you use it as a dd more than off roading, the rubicon is way better. save yourself the hassle of trying to build up a sport if it's gonna be your dd. just my opinion. because most people who have a sport, at one point wish they got a rubicon. i know i did.
