Are you serious, doors or no doors? I think you will find that a very small percentage of people run their JK's year round without doors. I enjoy doing this in good weather, but as I don't live in Arizona, Florida, or California, my doors are on my rig 95% of the time.
These rating have never deterred me from purchasing whatever I want to drive.

Light weight Wrangler? Seriously? This is a heavy vehicle. No where near a heavy duty truck, but it is one of the heavier average use vehicles on the road. Certainly if you account for size, it is a VERY heavy vehicle. And relatively safe. With the amount of relative vehicle our JK is a brick, and the fuel mileage reflects that.

I have no idea what high speed chase you are talking about, but I would guess it was the white Wrangler hit on "Fox's bad assed chases" or whatever the title was - the driver was okay. I haven't seen the train one.

But I would have to echo that if you have your seatbelt on, you are probably going to be fine in this vehicle. And a JK is safer than a TJ. Again - that was the IIHS's beef - that the door opened and it was likely to eject an unbelted occupant.

Read the ratings again. The poor rating (2door only) was because of the POSSIBILITY that the driver could be ejected. The crash test dummy was not. Other than that the driver was "fine". Fine including possible internal injuries. Not that this is an accomplishment - but you have to keep it in mind.

And again the REVIEW of the ratings specifically EXCLUDED the Wrangler.
