Dont have that same connection I did with my first. Anyway, I just think the four door would work ALOT better...and fit my lifestyle better. Wish I would have kept my '01 though.

why pay for something you really dont like???

I love my unlimited JKU, and having power to pass on the highway is a plus

  • Without a doubt you'll get four doors
  • Get a little more power, but let's face it. It's a Jeep not a top-fuel dragster.
  • I bet the better fuel economy in a 2012 will never be realized. Changing your driving habits might yield a bigger impact.
Hope this helps
I just wanna add a little to this. This is just a hunch, as I've never driven a 2dr, and I've never driven a 2012, but I would bet that with the added size and weight of the 4dr, you probably won't notice any increase in power or mpg compared to your 2dr.

Default Trade

Why not try to find a leftover 11 4 door. You'll get the xtra doors, a BIG discount and not take too much of a hit on the 2 door.

The things that make me want to do it? Well, I want a four door, more power, alittle better fuel economy(I drive 60 miles round trip everyday).
I'm just trying to justify this, any thoughts?

I would trade. Just traded my 08 unlimited for a 12 rubi. There is no comparison. The 12 actually seems fast.

You only live once. If it makes you happy, do it and enjoy it!
