I'm liking the dimensions of the 2 door. Looks longer than a 2 door JL but shorter than the 4 door. May be a happy medium.

The wheelbase should be within about an inch of the 2d JL, but the JL has its front axle pitched farther forward for better stability and a protruding front bumper.

The Bronco might have a slightly longer body at 148", but not by much.

Maybe it just looks more proportionate. Hard to tell by a picture I suppose.

I've always felt that the JL looks off balance, particularly with the full doors on.

I can't shake this front/back split from my mind:

With the doors off, and the top, it feels much better to me. It seems to shift the split forward.

i can see your point. but it doesnt bother me either way.

I agree. 4 door jlu is beautiful while the 2 door is awkward looking
to me the 4 door looks great. and the 2 door still holding the "traditional look' to the jeep history. i looked at the 4 door first, but picked up the 2 door. what awkward is see the 4 door without the doors and top. 4 door with just the top out is ok. by far the 2 door looks better with either set up.

Too many people used to driving around in / looking at empty school bus sized SUVs if the 2-door looks wrong.

I'd be concerned with the braking and descending balance of the Bronco. Rear wheel hop, etc.

Well then Jeep better get serious and stop throwing different paint and badges at everyone, that's pitiful!
Luckily they got serious and stopped throwing different paint and badges at everyone with the Mojave
2020 Wrangler JPP.................... Is the JPP or Mojave more to your liking? Or both.

I think it is the angle of the windshield that really makes it look disproportionate.

Changing the angle makes it look more normal.
