Is it just me or the proportions on the 2 door JL seem off?

[JLBoucher]

Every time I take my doors off I think, "Man I wish these were much bigger and heavier." And when I'm getting in and out, "If only these doors were longer and swung further out." Jeep really missed the mark on an offroad vehicle. Long doors are a must, for sure.

For a second, I thought you were serious...

Longer doors also helps people get in the back seat, Jeep probably figured it's much cheaper to use the same doors from the 4dr

It makes it harder to get in the back...

You DO realize most of us buying 2-doors take out the back seat and never use it, right? I mean, there's a reason they made it QUICK RELEASE on the 2-door and made the flooring behind the front seats flat, KNOWING most had no use or desire for a back seat lol. My kids are grown and I'm not an Uber driver.

I agree on the look of the xj - however, the doors on my two-door JL are two inches longer than the doors on my TJ. Getting in the back seat is way easier on the JL than the TJ.

I'm a huge TJ fan but the 2 door on the JL looks off, i just cant put my finger on it bc i really like the 2 door TJ.

Its just you. I Love My Jeep!

For me it has always been the windshield rake on the 2-door JL. I get why they did it, but it does seem to screw with the proportions and overall look, especially on a short vehicle. I had a 2-door XJ and thought the proportions seemed off on that too; too much door for the side having grown up looking at 4-doors.

having grown up looking at 4-doors.

ooooook, here's the disconnect lol. 4 door Jeeps (/Wranglers) didn't even start significantly having a presence on the roads until <10 years ago. If you're basing your life experience of knowing Jeeps as having "grown up" looking at 4 door Jeeps with what you usually saw on the road... I feel like you're going to ask me for help with your algebra homework lol JK

I think it does come down to what your time span of Jeeps encompasses.
I appreciate that the 4dr has kept the Jeep Wrangler alive and well as of late, but to me the only Jeep I want is a 2dr, and if they made a Gladiator 2dr I'd be wanting that as well. 4drs rock, just not in my garage

And FWIW the two door looks just right!

Off road that is

Sweet looking Jeep...but I am biased towards 2-door silver Rubicons. But...wait...is that really a Rubicon???

 

[entropy]

It is just you. Jeeps have 2 doors.

While I think an LJ style 2 door wheelbase (and slanted sports bar in the back) would be ultimately a better Jeep if they ever decide to make that, I love my 2 door and think they look awesome as they are.

Yes, it is a Rubicon. It is a right hand drive export market Rubicon. We do not get the high fenders and we get the Euro bumpers.

Back seat?

You mean the free garage sofa that Jeep gave me for buying a JL.

Here's what I think of with a stock 4 door:

Though... to be fair, this is probably what 4-door owners see with a 2-door if it's rare in their area lol

omg this is hilarious!! Love it.

It’s just you.
