Default Power locks & Power windows.

So I'm faced with the dilemma whether to get the 2011 JKU Sport (i'm a sucker for 0% for 60 months). My only choices really are whether to get the Power convenience package. Any thoughts from you experienced Jeepers? Is it easier to get the doors off when they only have roll-up windows?

same plug w/ or w/o power group. Wife says MUST have power group I say It doesn't matter other than a bigger key to fit in pocket.

More power is always better. Who has crank windows anymore?

With the power windows, you will literally be adding seconds to your door removal time..I would think this through carefully. Also, the "I'm a real man cause I roll down my windows" crowd will ask you to turn in your Man Card, IMMEDIATELY. (after they are done thumping their chests and simulating the Tarzan yell)

I can't live without Keyless entry. For me it was a no Brainier, Just press a Button. Simplicity at it's best.

I was so impressed when I saw power windows & locks, on doors that come off. It's a must get.

Seems like the overwhelming answer is get the power package. Thank you all for your replies. The wealth of knowledge on this forum is great.

The power locks and fob have an additional benefit of prevention in locking your keys in your car (at least for me and my forgetful brain).

Just get in the habit of ONLY locking your doors with the fob. If you have the fob, your keys aren't inside...if they're inside, you don't have your fob to lock the doors.

Also, it's nice to just roll down all the windows while cruising down the road without having to lean over or pull over to do it.
