Me three. Lovin' everything about it. One note for all trim models (Sport, X, Sahara, Rubicon, Mountain, Islander). They're all 3.8L minivan powered. Just a'int enough.

pontiacstogo pretty much covered the specs for us all. Mine is an '09 so I don't have the 115V power outlet. or the heated mirrors.

I love my Sahara's features with one exception.


I wish it had the 17" rubicon wheels instead of 18".

Seems like 18" wheels bumps the price and reduces the availability of good replacement tires :(

You can probably pick up a set of Rubicon take-offs relatively cheap from someone that's bumped to bigger tires.

Those painted Sahara fenders look SOO nice, but I would absolutely destroy them on the trail. I enjoy abusing the plastic fenders... if I rip one off... I'll just get another one of a forum member.

LOL.. I agree with above.. The look of tha painted fenders is awesome... but for trails.. i didnt want to go there... I ended up with a mountain package instead of the sahara... its built off of the Sport line but has almost all of the sahara options. ie dash, dual tops, power group, etc... but also came with the gunmetal painted wheels, and bumper inserts, the running boards, gas door cover and tail light covers.. and was less then the sahara.. and the only thing i can think of that I didnt get other then painted fenders, is the Infinity audio .. which i really wanted but oh well..


Nice lookin jeeps!

Yeah, that's part of the reason why I got my JK in black. Some of the lighter colored non-Saharas (particularly white & detonator yellow) look a little odd with the contrast of all the black plastic bits (bumpers, fender flares, side steps, mirrors, door handles & trim, bits on the hood, the hard top with the dark tint, etc) so with the black paint job it kinda blends in & looks good in my opinion.

I don't want to split hairs, but in the US the 2011 Sahara (and previous models to my knowledge) have the soft top standard.

It's still an extra charge option ($735 USD) for the Freedom Hard Top and the Dual Top Group runs $1625.
