The sport will do many things beyond your expectations. They can be built just as well or even better than the Rubicon model.

Y, you got a real jeep regardless of Sport, Sahara, or Rubicon. Deficiencies are pretty close to the same across the board. Don't go thinking that a Rubi is the end all be all. Same weak axle tubes and C's...but you get a locker. You get an electronic disconnecting sway bar that often times dies anyhow. The transfer case is nice, but I've yet to see it make a real difference in conquering an obstacle vs. not. All in all, you have a capable jeep, that can be made more capable with some additional modding....just like all the other jeeps out there.

Welcome to the forum!
