ExactlyI would have gotten a two-door manual transmission EcoDiesel, but that was never an option.
! Unfortunately, they stuffed so much emission shit into Ecodiesel, there's not enough room for it in a 2 door. I already have a diesel car, so I chose a 2 door manual Rubi gasser over 4 door diesel and it was a hard choice. If they made 2 door diesels, there would be WAY more 2 door owners around here.
I ended up dumping my 2dr manual when the clutch started slipping at 28k miles. I wasn’t about to go down that path…Exactly
Can't blame you.I ended up dumping my 2dr manual when the clutch started slipping at 28k miles. I wasn’t about to go down that path…
Not sure it would attract many 4dr buyers to be honest, especially after having owned and wheeled one. The storage space is better, but just as much of a pain to access as the 2dr. The slightly shorter wheel base could be advantageous on certain obstacles but a drawback on others. If the options were only 2dr or bigger 2dr, it would get a lot of would be 4dr buyers. That ship sailed with the JKU. I don't see enough gain for it to increase sales enough to justify a whole new body and frame design. The only way I see a long wheel base wrangler being developed is if it's a replacement for the short version. I could be wrong.
Sad how some people can parachute into a thread and start throwing sand around like a two year old in a sand box for no reason at all. It seems to be a pattern with @yokramer . Pathetic.
There have been many times that I wished Jeep would build a 4 door on the JT platform, with more interior cargo space, heavier axles and the heavier tow rating of the JT.
Pretty much what I said earlier, I would love to have a 2 Door, as a TOY, but that is all a 2 door would ever be for me, a TOY, Top and doors Off, and around here would sit in the garage for 13 months out of the year. Realistically a Naked 2 Door would get about 3 months of use around here probably 60-75 days of that even, it would be Fun to have, but Never replace the JLU as a serious vehicle
Love the look of mine. It's what the stock steel bumper should've looked like. It's not as bullett proof as a single piece bumper, but it's still pretty stout. I've smacked the skid plate fairly hard more then once without issue.Thanks, that bumper is the Rugged Ridge Venator. Got it at Quadratec. They have some good videos on the install. Also on YouTube. It is a modular bumper. They can take some patience to install because there are a lot of separate parts. It is also not good for bashing on rocks. The metal parts are not thick enough for that. I got it because I like the look and do not do rock crawling. It has extremely rugged tow hooks and winch mount and I wanted those features. Also the winch mount is low profile, something else I wanted.
