I just found a 2011 rubicon setup just like that for 30k.

No power windows/doors here. I wanted a base model with minimal options. Not really needed when the doors should be off anyways. Less things to break down the road too.

Get half-doors then you don't have to worry about the windows at all!!

I don't lock it either...

My '11 JKU is power-nothing. It's funny to think manual locks/windows are the distinct minority in new cars; I remember when it was seriously fancy to have power windows. Anyway, I went that direction on purpose for the sake of simplicity.

I can still reach all 4 locks and windows from the driver's seat. But mine is a soft-top too so I haven't bothered to lock up much. One minor annoyance is the driver's side window crank pokes my leg; it's a little bit annoying during a long trip. But if I was gonna make the choice again, I would still do the same.

BTW,The only options I got on my JKU were 3:73 gears and limited slip rear, again by design. I figure a K.I.S.S. jeep will prove to be more reliable as time goes on.

Mine came with just AC and auto. Everything else is manual, including locks and window cranks. I personally LOVE that! Fewer things to break or fix. Fewer things that could go wrong. Mine's a DD and I have had no issues with convenience. The cabin is so small that if I need to lock the passenger door or lower its window, I simply..... lean over

I paid $17,900 for my 08 X 6spd with 30K on the clock last summer. It is a 2dr soft top only with no power options except for AC. Its all that I wanted at the time. Over a year later I kind of wish I had dual tops, but that's it.. However, I am thinking of installing cruise control at some point.. A few years from now when my JK is paid off, I may sell or trade both my vehicles (I have a car as well), for a brand spankin new 4dr fully loaded Rubicon!! :r ock:

I think we see a split between the people that grew up before electric locks/windows and A/C were standard on even base models and those like me that grew up with them only coming on the higher end cars. Growing up I don't remember our family cars having any of that until I was in high school. I didn't have A/C until my third car and power locks/windows until my fourth. Thought it was cool having all that...then it started breaking. LOL! So now I'm back to no power anything...but I'll keep the A/C...I am fond of that.

Doors without PW and PL motors are lighter and easier to remove too. I am searching for a 2012 and no PW or PL is a must.
