Just dropped my cousin off at JFK as he is going to see his parents after almost a year. I have his 2 Door Base Sport JL (2019) for the next two weeks. It is a bare bones factory stock Hard Top with an A/C, the Turbo 4 and an 8 Speed Automatic. Nothing else.
Interestingly tonight (Dec 24th) into Tomorrow morning (Dec 25th), we will be having a significant rain maker hitting Long Island with 60 MPH winds. Will for sure be checking out how his 2 Door Sport behaves versus my 4 Door Rubicon in the 60 MPH cross wind gusts on the Long Island Expressway. Given the supposed relative unstability of the 2 door versus the 4 door, cousin thinks I will hate the 2 door a lot in high winds on the highway as I already hate my 4 door in those conditions. Wonder if anybody on this forum has experienced both the 2 door and the 4 Door JL in a wind storm and what they think.
Once drove my factory stock JLUR last summer in the middle of a Tropical Storm on the Highway with the Soft Top on. Never doing that again. The Jeep hated going above 60 MPH. Maybe I will slap the Hard Top back on in case I want to do that again.
