My 4 dr basesquatch build comes to 44K and my 4dr nonsquatch badlands is at 48K. Both have the 2.7 and I’ve added bumper, rock rails and floor liners to the base. I still think the base is the better deal but am leaning toward the BL because of a lot of the stuff you mention plus I would rather start with the 33s. They’re both over what I was originally prepared to spend!$6500 price difference if you keep the standard package on the Badlands. This is my swag at justifying the cost difference, and these are all things that I actually want:
$2000 - MGV
$500 - Rubberized flooring with drain
$1500 - Sway bar
$800 - Signature lighting
$800 - Nicer grille
$500 - High level instrument panel
$500 - Nicer interior appointments (dash, doors, etc)
$500 - Extra goat modes
$500 - Steel rear bumper
Plus, you get a cool Badlands sticker and some extra clout.
