I went for the Rubicon because I figured any modification I was going to do to a sport was going to be what a Rubicon offered. Glad I did, because I've not had to do much to it, and I'm as capable, if not more so than every other 4WD I venture out with. The only thing I've found as a shortcoming from the Rubicon is the tyres. The AUS version comes with the same tyres as the sport model (USA gets BFG muddies from the showroom) and thus traction is limited in certain situations. If you buy second hand, check the underbody for scratches and dents, if you see none, it probably has never seen any serious action off road.
Also, songwriting the side of your Jeep makes good sense for protecting the paintwork before taking it past scratchy plant life. Tax deductible paint protection
