Default Lookin at 2 Jeeps help me pick

Hi. I am planning on getting a Wrangler Unlimited in the next few days. I have found 2 and having a hard time picking between the 2. First one is a 2007 Sahara Unlimited 4x4 Auto with 20k Hardtop and all the power options. The second one is a 2007 Jeep Green Rubicon Unlimited Auto With 5600 miles black soft top and no power options on it. I am looking at 20600 for the Sahara and 21000 for the Rubicon. Which one would you pick and why? About me I wont do a ton of offroading, drive about 15k a year do plan on doing a small lift and 35s down the road. Thanks everyone for any input.

Jimmy

Rubicon without a doubt and it has a cool color! Price is decent if you can live without the electronics!

Go with the Rubicon. I had a Sahara and it was great but when I do it again, its all or nothing. Once you go wheelin, you are gonna want to spend an insane amount of money on your Jeep. You may as well get the Rubi now

I had an 03 TJ that was Silver and have a 04 S2000 that is Silver so the Jeep Green does catch my eye just cuz it is different. How much did you plan on offroading your vehicles when you got them and how did that change after you got it. (did you plan on not much and got the Jeep and had to do it all the time lol) Thanks for the quick replies

Really the big thing the Sahara has I like is the power options. But I guess I can always get some summer doors and keep the full doors off. What is everyones take on the Hardtop only versus the Softtop only? Are Hardtops easy to find if I really want one down the road?

Get the Rubi, Power group is overated seeing as your doors will be off anyway! And having the lockers will give you a little extra time to save for a better winch!!!!!!!!!!

You can just add a Wild Boar hard top to your mods list, when you get the Rubi.
