Besides the ones you already added, there's not much left. The sahara is fairly loaded.
Many guys love the my gig, but I'm happier with my aftermarket setup.
I'd probably add the tow package for the heck of it. And maybe the 17inch wheel and tire package, if you're going to upgrade (seems like there are more tire options for 17 inch rims than 18 right now)
Oh, and welcome to JK forum!

Kind of depends on what you're planning to do after the fact. For example, if you're planning on lifting and re-gearing then the 3.73s that I think now come with the tow package wouldn't be necessary. But, you'll probably want that gearing if you're not planning on lifting right away.

I do have future plans to put a lift and change the rims and tires. This will be my daily driver I still need to keep it streetable. I was thinking about a 4-5" lift later in the year. I will do some trail riding but nothing to extreme yet. This will be my first 4x4. My usual play toys are muscle cars. I will attach a picture of the most recent car I sold. So I might be asking a lot of questions.

As to the Sahara, I think you have it covered. I hve the mygig on our minivan and really am not that pleased with it. I am having a bunch of trouble with the system not recognizing the songs and the system freezing up. The dealer has done all of the possible updates and have no idea how to fix it. I could not justify $1275 for something that has proven, in my case, to be problematic.
The one thing that I am very happy with in my Sahara is the Yes essentials. My son spilled his prange juice on it and the liquid just at ontop until we wiped it up. No stain, not really even wet. Great stuff!
You will soon see that the Jeep is different than everything else on the road. It truly is a great driving expierence.
Hope that helps.
