I personally don’t buy vehicles that are easy for your daughter to drive but at least you got a low end Benz in case she dings it.

I’m sorry the vision issues run in the family but you have LEDs so you and your neighbors will survive.

In the meantime enjoy trolling forums of vehicles you wish to own. I’m guessing there’s not much of that element at the GLB forums.
I'm glad that you don't base your personal vehicle decisions off of my daughter, but the fact that it's even a thought is coming off a little sketch. Has Chris Hansen ever suggested you have a seat over there?

Why would I troll the GLB forums for vehicles I wish I own when I already own said vehicle? At this point you're just being obtuse, but I'm not sure it's intentional.

Z automotive has a front camera option.
I ordered mine, so happy with the result.
Zauto front camera is ok. Would love to have a sprayer but I haven't needed it. Would love to have higher quality but Auto gets the job done.

How about you?]

Once I decided the Max Tow was best suited for me, I bought from available inventory from a dealer lot, but I searched for dealers' inventory in the area. If I could have, I would have added the Rubicon wheels and tires (since purchased and swapped in), the soft top (since purchased from a Forum member), and the Auxiliary switches - I don't need them yet, but...

Completely satisfied with what I have (except I'm on the lookout for the steel Rubicon bumper for a stubby install of it).

My order
https://www.jeep.com/bmo.gladiator....D3,A5,UAG,AM2,AD6,HT3,MM3,GXD,CSD,ABR,XMF,23D - you may have to refresh your page once you click, I did.

I haven't really utilized the trailer package or aux buttons, but I like the bigger battery and alternator, so no real regrets. I'm glad I went with the cloth seats and didn't get the tech package or any of the nanny driving stuff. I'm also glad I sprung for the LED package.
Today I may have went with Nacho or Shnazz for color with the black fender/top combo. The two greens are also sexy. I didn't have Nacho or the two greens when I ordered mine, and didn't see Shnazz in person (it looks much better in person). Blue looks better in person as well, so no real regrets.

One thing that is kind of interesting, MSRP has gone up since I ordered mine a few thousand....

As the title says - If you could redo your purchase - what would you change?

To answer my own question - I wish I would have gotten the Diesel. Strictly for the torque and economy. I'm not unhappy with the V6 gasser (Livernois has a great tune!), however with the Banks tuner or potential upcoming tune from GDE I wish I would have gotten my truck with the different power plant.

How about you?
I can honestly say there isn’t a single thing I would change…

4.10 gears in the axles, 4:1 low range in the transfer case, front swaybar disconnect, and f/r e-lockers aren't exactly little knick knacks. No knock on the other trim levels, but the Rubicon is a pretty solid package overall.
again, i am speaking on compared to mine currently. I have the majority of the things the rubicon does already.

Wrangler/Gladiator halogens are notoriously crappy. Like, to the point where I wonder how they're even legally passable. A birthday candle reflecting off a brick wall produces more light than those halogens.

In my JKU, I often had to flip on my high beams just to verify I even had my lights on. So many other people do the same. I eventually upgraded to JW Speaker LEDs and it was honestly the best upgrade/"mod" I made.

Headlights are one of any vehicle's most important safety feature. I'll never buy another Jeep again unless I get the LED package or I have upgrades waiting at home on day 1.

At least you can easily remedy the lighting situation!
Also agree...I installed LED’s from Amazon, that are similar to stock looking, today and what an upgrade!

Would have preferred a V8 instead of V6, but works fine for most situations...
There is a V8?
I regret no one told me that.🤔

No regrets, regrets are pointless and cause stress.
Got what we wanted and don’t wallow in the what ifs.

Ordered mine 9 weeks ago. Took delivery Monday after it sat on the lot waiting for me for 2 weeks.

I made 2 last minute decisions on the order:
LEDs and cold weather pkg. Really glad I did.
One change to the original wish list: went from tan to black leather. Regretted it since.
Really wish I'd ordered the front cam.
Really wish I hadn't ordered the upgraded wheels.
If I could only have one option of everything i ordered which was a lot, it would be the diesel hands down. This thing's a boss! Love it! Even if it does bottom out going over a dime laying flat in the road.
