But if you find happiness in your rig, then that is all that matters.
is the difference in the wheelbase or your 40s

to the op. the weight if the 2 door wrangler jk is heavy the 4 door even worse. if the weight is your selling point you might like a tj. the 2 door would need to be stretched for the perfect wheel base and the 4 door is already about there.

When I took the doors off, it was less of an ordeal. The top goes down easier. It seems to fit me better. I love it...

...what do yall think?
That's why a 4dr wasn't even a consideration for me. I KNEW I wouldn't like it.....no way.....no how. Hell, I was even a little bumbed that the 2dr had grown a little in the new design.

Hell, I love my 2 door just what I've wanted for years but 4 doors have their place too, grocery getter, highway, steep hills that gradually change to flat ground (we know there are alot of those out there) just kidding. And on the serious side I'm thinking of having both when I get home after this contract. Ain't it great we have choices!!!

When we wheel the 4drs are all grouped at the rear because it takes them 5 turns to turn a corner.
Real jeeps don't turn around corners, they just drive over them.

Default The look

I like the traditional look, however the "Unlimited" to me, does look more balanced when lifted. I would like to see the "Scrambler" return.

Choice is a good thing! Single and no kids so I love my 2dr. I never disliked the 4drs, but I agree with you, they look much better with a mild lift. Bone stock on the factory steel wheels they look kinda funny.

A return of the Scrambler is the only thing that I would consider parting with my Wrangler for.

I love my 4 door, but my dogs love it even more. I can fit a full grown Lab and Golden in the back at the same time with the rear seats still up.

However, if I knew then what I know now, I would have ordered a 2 door Rubi with half doors. I say this b/c ulitmately this rig will retire from being a daily driver and the need for a 4 door will diminish. I'm not sure if I'll go with a truck or a nice sedan.

Right now, I love the 4 doors. It's great to bring a couple of friends wheel'n. Especially if they have never done it before.

I've never had an issue with my turning radius. There is ONE obstacle where we wheel that I get hung up on. There are multiple stair or waterfall climbs where the longer WB is a godsend.

I go back and forth on what I like. I guess I wish my wife drove an Unlimited Sahara and I drove a 2 door Rubi with half doors. Best of both worlds.

This had me cracking up. For a minute there it looked like almost 70 years of Jeeps were somehow inferior to the "Unlimited"... Thank God they invented the sedan Wrangler- to tackle all those trails that the MB's, GPW's, CJ's, YJ's, TJ's and SWB JK's have to "sit out"...

Oh sure.......when's the last time you went "over" a 100' lodgepole pine. But I bet I can go "around" it faster than you....
