@Nickp i love ya and all, but comparing a base to a Rubicon is like comparing a Prius to a Mustang GT. Hell even if the only reasons are tinted VS non-tinted windows.
I mean they’re more comparable than you’d think. Power windows and locks, 8” touch screen, cloth seats, front and rear locking diffs, favorable axle gearing. The base+Sasquatch is pretty darn closely equipped to a rubicon except for, like you said, window tint and rock rails/extra armor. But I can get a lot of rock rails and armor for $7k lol.

What you don't want to do is give up the front sway bar disco if you do any type crawling that is high end of moderate. I wish the WT did come with it or be able to add it on.

Damn, add $10k for auto, Squatch and mid package. These are going to be way more expensive than I thought optioned out. I was leaning highly towards the 2.3 manual anyway and with No Squatch available, I guess it makes it that more Appealing. For $60k, I’m not buying a Bronco, I’m getting a GT350 or BMW M car.

I think the configuration you listed will be even cheaper since the 4D comes with auto trans. And the steel bumper is 800 bucks, rock rails are probably about the same.

I think any way you slice it, a BaseSquatch is supremely capable and undercuts the price of a Rubicon.

If you are not into off roading there much better choices!

You're at least the second person to round ~$8000 to $10,000. Very weird.

Plenty of people have easily eclipsed $60K with their JEEP's just by purchase price, a few factory hardware upgrades and tons of accessories.
