Roll Bar ?

[YBRIK]

Does anyone know if this is a custom roll bar or are they different on certain models/years? Every 2 door JL I've seen doesn’t have that angle at the back like the 4 door JL’s have???

that is part of the whole frame/chassis design and structure

mine and all the other 2 doors JL's are more vertical at the back

i have seen both as well, most likely a soft top and hard top mechanism , that's the difference maybe ...

It looks like they used the roll bars from a 4 door cut to size

Look at the picture. They literally cut the rear doors out of the picture. The garage door and shadows don’t line up. It’s pretty poorly photoshopped. You can see a few places they tried to smooth the editing but failed. AI would’ve done better.

if so, that's a no no in the body shop industry ... but to each his own i guess

You are correct, this is how the rollbar looks on the 2dr. The original picture you posted is fake / poorly photoshopped.

Lol i can’t believe i didn’t notice that. It’s really noticeable now.

Yep. Once you see it you can’t un-see it. It would be cool if the rear was slightly extended with the slant bar and a fastback hardtop.

Its not horrible and I’ve accepted how it is but i agree.. Slightly extended with the slant bar would look better.

It's because of how the rear passenger area relates to the "cargo" area, different between two and four door. You can't have the slanted roll bar in a two-door. Passengers wouldn't be protected in a rollover.

Sure, which is why it’d need to be extended a bit. But also many of the 2 doors only have 2 seats; I removed my rear seat years ago and haven’t put it back.
