Another Dilemna--JKU Sport or JKU Willy
Getting ready to order my new Jeep. Have the deal all set with the dealer, regarding price and trade in values, etc. Just deciding on final color choice.
Be my first 4 door Jeep JKU. 4th Jeep have owned though.
Plan was to get a Sport JKU with only upgrades being Automatic transmission, 3.73 gears and premium soft top. Then put on after market wheels (Black quadratec Moab?), 255/80R17 tires, add a 2.5" lift kit (RK, OME, TF, AEV - still debating a bit). Few other things like grab handles and rubber mats. Was not going to add the LSD. Figure with 4x4 and the Brake system, OK?
Well, now thinking maybe best to go for a Willy's Edition. Just buy and leave stock. Price would be very similar. At best, maybe just do a budget boost, put on the 255/80r17 tires sell the stock Willy's tires.
Price would be very similar when all said and done. Maybe the Willys being $1,000 more if I swap out the tires and add a budget boost.
So trying to decide if I should just go that route.
