Sad but true. However, I think the 2 door would have survived, due to the niche market established around it and its iconic image.Looking at sales figures, if they diverged the 2 lines the 2 door would be dead and gone by now. The purists may hate it, but the 4 door is carrying the line.
Yep I shake my head too. Every forum, Facebook Group, etc. has them no matter what the topic. The best response is no response.Buy and drive what you like. I can’t believe how many unyielding opinions are posted in this thread. The forum in general has quite a few posters whose opinion is “I made the best choices, your choices suck!” Shaking my head.
Not really... roughly 36% of 2-doors on this forum have a manual transmission, while only 17% of 2-doors are a 2.0.I know I'm more of a Unicorn having a 2 door manual
I'd say it would make the gladiator unlimited since it appears to go on forever. And yes, Scrambler would be a fitting name for the two door jeep pickup but my son says it sounds like a breakfast menu item.Man... that thing is awesome.
We all know Wrangler = 2 doors & Wrangler Unlimited = 4 doors.
So since the Gladiator has 4 doors, does that make it a Gladiator Limited? Hopefully it would be cialled the Scrambler.
FYPThey should not have given the Jeep the name Wrangler, this distinction should have been given to some Nissan Pickup.
Just my 2 cents.
Nice!I’m late to the game on this one, but here goes.
I AM OLD SCHOOL!
First Jeep was a 75 CJ-5 that I loved and it barely had an option on it. Found it in New Mexico, with Radio and Heater Delete. I was a NOOB 2 striper in the USAF and figured I would not need heat in NM. I was so wrong! LOL!
Second Jeep was a 2003 WJ, yep a capable SUV that took us where we wanted to be.
Third Jeep was a 2013 JK 2 door, soft top Stick shift that I updated slightly with Rubicon Shocks, and Firestone Destination MT tires. It was just where I needed it when family matters came into play and I was forced to sell it off.
Fourth Jeep we just got. 2020 JL Willys 2 door, Hardtop, Stick with some tasteful mods by the first owner. Found in Tennesee and brought home to NY just a month ago. You really find out about your vehicle on a trip. Even though the tranny gearing is a little to gear towards economy, I figured that out quickly. She only had 4300 miles on it when we bought it so it was still breaking in as far as I am concerned.
From the CJ to the JK there was a huge jump, the JL is another leap for me. It has the looks I wanted. The Stick I wanted and it’s a two door. My grand kids all fit fine in the back seat and being it’s the wife and I why get the 4 door. For ME, just ME, this Willys is my Corvette. Just a vehicle I feel comfortable in. I like the twitchy feel, I love the long shifter. Takes me back to when I was running Big Rigs. For me it’s 45+ years of driving…..
There are a FEW times that after looking fully at the specifications, I would have considered the Auto. I like the ZF Design a lot, but had not checked into it enough before I saw the Jeep I have now. This purchase was literally a huge surprise for me. Very rare to get exactly what you wanted in a used Jeep with only 4300 miles on it!Nice!
45+ yrs of driving here too! And always 2dr Jeeps, started w/ the CJ7 then a CJ5 but the newer JL is an auto, and luckily it's a great AT, but I do miss the stick at times.
