Nope,,,, a jeep is a 2 door.

And a true man lives off the fatta' the lan'!Nope,,,, a jeep is a 2 door.
I think the 2 doors are more fun and with the more powerful motors just that much more fun. Plus they look more jeepish, better looking with the doors off, top down, not to mention more maneuverable.I presently have a 2014 JKUR, and sometimes think it's just too big for my needs. I really want a 2 door JL, but worry that it'll be too small. I have no need for the back seat, and although I can't find pictures with the back seat removed, I know it's possible. Anyone have experience with this dilemma? Pictures with the back seat removed?
your right, I forgot about break over. the 4 door sucks in that department. You really need 40s to achieve what a 2 door can get away with on 35sI've had 2 JKUs, a JK and not the JL.
The 4-doors were fine when the kids were still in school and holidays meant 4 people in the Jeep with luggage.
Off road the 4-door's break over angle (Or lack of it) was frustrating.
The kids left the house, I moved to the 2-door versions and will never turn back. It is better around town, not so large to park and more nimble in traffic. Packing space a plenty for two people. Off road the 2-door break over angle is a pleasure, also easier to navigate on tight and narrow trails.
both are great vehicles, it just depends what you will use it for and how many passenger you need to accommodate for when using the Jeep.

I couldn't get over the 4-doors on the trail. I first saw them when the JK came out (obviously) and owners were bitching about buggering up their colored hard tops or front/rear fenders on the trail....and I can turn the unit around on a dime.
Same here. I’ve had 2-door TJ’s for years. Then I’ve driven a 4-door ever since the JK came out in 2007.I've had 2 JKUs, a JK and not the JL.

Did you get the new cast-iron steering box and longer LCAs to get caster to 6? If not I'd say do it ASAP, my 2dr has great steering at all speeds (for a live front axle that is)Best decision ever! Driving a 2-door feels like driving a Jeep again. Short turning radius, crappy steering. I ditched the back seat since day one so there’s plenty of room. I’ll never go back to a 4-door.
Right? I think Jeep is still trying to come to terms with exposing themselves to that segment of the market...I was thinking - no shit....you just tried to cram a minivan sized jeep through the trail....what did you expect?
And even then that's not much of a regret when you consider the improvements in mileage of the new Jeeps... When I fill up and see "Range: 345 miles" on the instrument cluster, I just smile and think, "Try that in the old CJ."Only 2dr regret is having 4 less gallons of fuel than the 4drs, but that's a tradeoff I'll take 24/7 365 out of 365!
I know, in my CJ5 my gas gauge was guess at best, so I just filled it up anytime I was near a station, lol. And I had a beefed up AMC 401 V8 from a Cherokee, so mpg wasn't a priorityAnd even then that's not much of a regret when you consider the improvements in mileage of the new Jeeps...

Went on a five day camping trip with two JKUs. Granted, they were carrying more weight (passengers and gear), but their fuel consumption eclipsed their 4 gallon tank advantage.Only 2dr regret is having 4 less gallons of fuel than the 4drs, but that's a tradeoff I'll take 24/7 365 out of 365!
