I decided to purchase an Unlimited in the next few months. I am deciding now between an X and a Sahara. I wont do much off roading so I am not considering the Rubicon. I know the Sahara has the upgraded YES fabric and the painted flares. What are the benefits of having that YES fabric over the standard X. I know the Sahara has most the options I wanted as standard and the Insurance difference between the two was only 5.00 more for the sahara. Is there anything else I am missing?

I have the Sahara unlimited with the towing pkg . It gives you the Dana 44 in the rear with 4:10 gears. The Sahara basically has everything offered except for locking diffs(opt) and disconnecting sway bars(opt) - oops - and the front axle isn't a 44. Transfer case is different. I 'd choose the sahara over the x anyday - just for resale.

3 pages and no mention of the subwoofer?!? 
That's another difference between the Sahara and the X.
I chose the Sahara because everything that I wanted in a jeep came stock with it. I priced a decked out X but it was the same price and still didn't have everything that I wanted.
I like the painted flares, btw. I like the black too but I think I prefer the painted.

??? my stock subwoofer works fine, of course I don’t play that “3 sneakers-in-a-dryer and someone spittin real fast” type of music at jet engine decibel levels either.

I don't need look at me loud anymore but I would like to help out the anemic standard subless soundsystem, mine came equipped with. Right now the drums sound like plucking a dixie cup.:sad:

To me it seemed like I was going to spend more adding options to an "X" rather tnan just getting the Sahara. Since I don't plan on investing initially in a lot of extra toys for it, getting the Sahara gave me the best setup for the money I spent.
The tipping point for me was the 18" wheels - which I think are the best looking.
Had I gone 4x4 I would probably have the best of all worlds.

No matter how I price it out...when I add options to the "X" so it has the exact same things as the Sahara other than the flares and YES seats, it still comes in at 1000 dollars less.
I really like the idea of the Sahara for the seats and the option for the 18"wheels" but wow, that is a pretty big price difference! Decisions, decisions. I still cant even decide between the auto and manual either. I really need to make up my mind.
