Default Ordering a 2012 Unlimeted Rubicon

I am trading in my 07 2 door X for a 2012 Unlimited Rubicon soon. I have half doors on my 07 and will be going with full doors for this one. I plan on ordering several options. I will list the options, but want some opinions or suggestions on my options choices. Cherry Red, 430N with connectivity group, saddle/black interior, keyless entry, remote start, max tow, 4.10 gears, supplemental seat airbags and auto trans. Let me know what y'all think.

I just made similiar decisions when i traded my 09 for a 12 rubi a couple weeks ago. my opinion is to go with:
full doors (i use tube doors in the summer)
4.10's (YES. drives great with these)
auto (nothing like the old auto tranny. really smooth and nice. i was going with the 6 speed until i drove the new 5 speed auto)
430N with connectivity (awesome option i almost didn't get. Very happy to have it)
black leather (heated even if you go with cloth)
ALL black interior only (i don;t like the two tone with brown at all)
dual tops
auto climate (for the 155 bucks, it is worth it)

No to these:
cherry red (looks pink to me. wife thinks the same. i came out of a red rock 09' that i loved. i don;t like the cherry red at all. i went with black. should have gone with the black forest green. awesome color. i don;t like the dozer or crush. I loved the mango tango.)
keyless entry (standard?)
remote start (not something i use)
max tow (i just added a hitch and harness for 90 bucks after i got the jeep)
supplemental airbags (i didn;t care either way. saved the money on this)

YMMV

I also chose the auto air. Did you do the install on the hitch and wiring yourself?

Sounds awesome. Good luck on your new Jeep. Hard or soft top?

I went with the following:

Rubicon with 4:10 Gears
Hard Top
Auto Transmission
Connectivity Group/Bluetooth
I did not get the 430N Navigation. I was not completely sold on spending extra $1300 on navigation.
I went ahead and purchased the extra warranty for 6years/100,000miles for $1500.
No Two package - I installed Hitch and Harness myself for $90.00 . It is 30 minutes plug and play job.
Slush Mats
Keyless entery/security - Standard
Air Condition - Standard
Color - Black Forest Green

I have the identical setup in my 2011 including the exterior and interior color and I love the setup. The towing option is worth it since it all includes the programming for trailer sway damping.

I ordered everything you ahve in your list plus leather and the auto temp control. Get the auto temp control definately worth it. I like the two tone interior, the tan leather looks great. i ahve had mine for 4+ months now and love it. Congrats

Dual tops are nice, cheaper than if you just got the hard top and bought a soft top afterwards. All the options you picked are nice. Personally, i wouldn't go with the climate control though.
