Anyone considering black diamond with hard top now? It’s cheaper than base squatch. At least we get a manual with the black diamond. Manual is my make it or break it. I’ll hold out to see what happens with base-man-squatch first.
Oh man... this might save me and get the MGV interior I've wanted. Thanks!! I was looking BaseManSquatch with Standard package. But if I'm going Standard, I can do BD, MT and get the similar build without upgrading to Sasquatch.

edit: Still thinking BaseManSquatch is my sweet spot after BD build.

Ok. so that is my build as well. The auto is showing free and the advanced 4x4 is showing free. I dont think that is right. It came in 2k cheaper than I was expecting. I'd expect the price to get fixed in the next few weeks/months. Or Am I missing something?
Not exactly "free". Doing similar build. B&P shows Sasquatch package as $4995 but when you add it it charges $5790 but tacks on automatic transmission and Advanced 4x4. Still seems like a good deal to me.

When you go to add the 4.7 gearing with the rear locker it forces you into Sasquatch so at this time I would say that it is not an option.

I am now solidly BaseManSquatch. Decision made! Also @dingle87 inspired a new BaseManSquatch motto:

Pretty sure this is going to happen and the t-shirt will be worn to the Chicago Auto Show. The anticipation is killing me. LOL

We are on the same page. I have not played with anything yet, but I just want a manual and cloth seats. The base has a different steering wheel correct? Does the black diamond have any advantages to the base? I am not picky at all the only option that I car about is the manual.

Is the Base or Black Diamond the best options for us manual fans?

Initial pricing had put the advanced 4x4 at 800 to 1000.....If that is true then they didnt account for the price of the auto. I'm hoping I'm wrong of course....

The auto could be the reason for the steep price jump from the 2dr to the 4dr.

Nope, it's the same on the 2-door. It's standard.

You can add on the auto for a separate charge of 1595.....The B&P is wrong...That is my 2 cents. Adding either SAS or the 2.7 just includes it at no cost. The SAS has the adv 4x4 covered in the price as mentioned.
