I know the feeling. I am placing my order with dealer Wednesday on a (I think) Big Bend, 2 door, 2.3 7 speed in either Rapid Red or Race Red. I wan't a locker, that's the main thing making me go BB over base. Do I "need" a locker??? Probably not. I honestly think the base is a better value, and that makes me have conflicting thoughts on just doing a base Rapid Red, swapping wheels and tires day 1 ($1,500) and having tint installed for $200. I would not have to put any of my planned $5k down, still have $3,500 left after wheels and tires and then build as I go. But, I'll probably do BB. I'd rather regret spending more than I think the package is worth, than not getting a few things like the locker and being miserable....ughhh!!!
I finally chose a BaseSquatch V6. It's pretty much the same price as a Big Bend 2.3 auto with the locker and mid-package. I'd rather have the extra capability of the V6, front locker, and the ground clearance. I can add tint and heated seats (and possibly the mud/ruts goat mode with forscan) later. The fender badge is a nice bonus but I wish it was clear or opaque so the body color would show thru as the background coloring.For the $5,000 extra or whatever it is for Big Bend you can get a Base and Sasquatch it. Base + Sasquatch package pretty much gives you one of the most Off-roading capable rigs in the industry for around $40k. Oh and let's not forget it also gives you the coolest fender badge in the industry.
