Is a Sahara any better than a base model?

Must be a misprint. All 4wd Jeep Wranglers have 4WBLS, but not lockers.

I love my Sahara, power options, wheels and all....

Its my weekend driver (I don't even drive to work) and I like the convenience of the power locks and windows, AC is great on a hot muggy rainy day. I like the look of the bigger tires and I even like the Sahara logo.

Don't care much for the silver bumpers though...

I might be wrong, but on the 08 Sahara I thought the AC was standard as well?

A/C is standard on all four door Jeeps. Still optional on the 2 doors.

Default Sahara?

I bought my 07 Sahara as a leftover in 08 and got what I considered a pretty good deal on it. For my money I got 4:10 axles, auto trans, a/c (2DR),sirius, YES seats,cruise control, Red Rock Crystal paint(really sharp when it's all shiny)and what amounts to 32" tires.Is it better than an X? In my opinion just slightly for the few extras I got. I wish I had gotten a Rubicon just for the locked D44's and low range transfer case. But you have to work with what you have and I'm having fun building up my Sahara.

Standard: 3.8 lSMPI V6, Command trac 4wd, Front/Rear Electronic Locking Differentials,Next Generation Dann 44 Heavy Duty Solid Rear Alxle, High Presure monotube Shocks with Low speed Tunable Valve technology. ect ect ect.

Hit another button my jeep is locked/unlocked.

Hit another button, I'm cruising.

Sahara's are kewl.
I am with you on that one. A few vehicles ago I had basic Dodge Dakota 4x4 with roll up windows, manual locks and 3 speed window wipers and I said never again.
