You have to ask yourself, will I have enough room in my 2dr to do what I need to do if I sell my truck. There's your answer.

I have a 2dr and will never sell my truck.

Mine is my daily driver. 20k plus miles a year and offroad when I can. Being a daily driver it prevents me from extreme modding it as I need to keep it street legal for the UK but it's still got plenty of mods to keep be titilated.

Thanks RubiKing for this reminder, and why working to hard at saving my $$, looking forward to my own DD JK. We own a 08 JKU which happens to be my wifes DD, and I have visitation rights on the week end.
My commute is 120Kms round trip, and can be a real DRAG...the odd time I drove our JK to work, I didn't feel any pain, in fact took the long way home to extend the drive.

Great thread, great inspiration....we will be a dual JK family soon !!

Wife's DD for the last 3 years. The only issues she has is the JKU keeps getting taller and more accessories added. As well, she has noticed our bank account dwindling the last 3 years

Also, she is not a fan of the scratches I put on it when I take it out wheeling.
