I'm happy with my Sport S with Max Tow, Hard Top, and Bedliner (factory is cheaper than doing it local)
Has what I want. Lockers and swaybar would be nice but I doubt I will wheel that hard in this.
They probably have the same fenders because they have the same axles, which are wider than standard.
The max tow package for $1,000 USD (plus the cost of an automatic) is a pretty good deal. You get the Rubi axles and fenders, 4.10 gearing, HD engine cooling, 240 amp alternator, HD brakes and...
When it comes down to it, it's a Jeep. It has solid axles, so you have the best offroad potential. It has better approach and break away angles than a standard pickup.
I don't need a full size truck. But I will be taking the top and doors off..
I wanted Punkin Metallic. I love those garish Jeep only colors.
I went red. I would bet White, Black, Red, and Silver are the four best selling colors. Can't go wrong with it.
I have no experience with the JL, but factory JK headlights are anemic and a lot of owners like myself swap them out for aftermarket LEDs so we can see at night.
Nice rig. I'm jelly
To answer the op on if anyone ordered a sport S, the answer is sort of.
I ordered a Sport (on 5/4 and have a von), which only comes with the 24s package, which pretty much makes it a Sport S. I did add the auto tranny and the max tow package, the latter seems like a good...
I don't think it will fit. The Mopar part numbers for the Rubicon front bumper match with the JL bumpers for 2018-2019, but not the JK part number. If you're good with fabrication you might make it work, but it doesn't look to be a straight fit.
