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

The body colored roll bars show because now there are no covers;
the bars have been body color since the JK.

If I recall correctly the YJ had body colored roll bars too, but also covered with black or tan foam covers. It's just lack of covers on the JL.

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.


Your thoughts, Thanks
My thought is that the 4 dr looks out of proportion. Not weirdly so, just a little "off." For decades, CJs and Wranglers were 2 dr only and I'm an old guy who thinks 2 doors and round headlights are just right.

I think what makes a 2 door look off is the hardtop gives it a weird look that I can’t explain. A soft top or no top makes the 2 door look great.

Yep, time to see a shrink. The 2 door is certainly the best proportioned. The 4 door looks much like a hearse. Even a 4WD one. The roller-coaster car comes in a close second.

I would say that would be the Bronco comparison and this would be the Wrangler one if you want to compare it to s hearse.

I don't dislike the 4 door. If I had some little hell raisers to haul around, I certainly would have 4 door (more likely a Gladiator). JLU or JT looks alright with hardtops (JT rear doors look goofy). 2 door with soft top is a sexy instant classic.

I think it’s the stock fenders (sport or rubi). They look better on the longer 4 door.

It's 100 percent you and I doubt you will ever be able to put your finger on it.

Yea, same. I don't know. I think the 4-door looks better than the 2-door this time around. The 2-door JL just looks stubby. I don't think that about 2-door JKs, so I don't know what they did lol

To further the insanity, I will say the 2-door Bronco is looking pretty sweet, though. I like what they did with the longer doors. Will be very tempting in a few years when hopefully both brands are offering electric 2-doors.

For comparison. I did not like the rounded hardtop of the TJ.
