This whole thread is just dumb. Who cares if fellow members of JK-forum are driving 2wd Wranglers. Has anyone thought maybe it is what that person could afford and even though they wanted the fully loaded Jeep, they didn't want to break the bank? I would love to have a lift, a hemi, rims, a Corvette for sunny weekends, a 10 car garage, etc. Come on people, grow up and stop with the stupidity of "you're not a Jeeper if you have 2wd". Point is, we are all members therefore we all have a common interest of Jeep Wranglers. Don't waste our time bringing negativity to this board.

I had one prior to this 4x4 I have now. At the time I was thinking that I would never really need 4wd cause we live in the south so rarely any ice. Well I had a bunch of problems with the top and got rid of it. But for the most part I enjoyed it. Jeep opened up to a whole new market of people with the 2wd. Dare I say "soccer moms" that like the look of a convertible SUV but not really needing the 4wd aspect of it. just my .02 cents.
I personally see nothing wrong with a person buying a wrangler because you want a cool inexpensive convertible to have some fun with ON ROAD..I grew up in NYC and still live here and thats what the wrangler always was to me growing up. Until I got my JK I had no idea that this world even existed. And I too got my 4dr JK for every reason other then off roading. But I have since been introduced to a new hobby thanks to my jeep and I love it. But since no rain or snow today and it looks like we are gonna hit a high of 50degrees today I'm gonna spin the tires all the way to the office in my new Hemi Challenger RT...can't wait to hear those exhaust pipes, grip the pistol grip and dump the clutch .....geez my neighbors must absolutly hate me...ehhhhh
Who Cares!!

The key word in that is can, mine was nearly $8k cheaper than the lowest priced 4x4 I could find.
I would of loved a Rubicon or a 4x4, but I couldn't justify the price difference for the amount of utility I would get out of for the life of the jeep.

See there is another point. I agree with your other statements about the cost but for some (me at the time) even a couple of grand more for the 4x4 just can't be stretched. Now if you got money enough for a 4x4 and a Hemi Challenger RT then all is good. Hope to be there some day but Firemen don't get paid all that much.
