it's all good :like: a co worker of mine though it was a dark green. :facepalm: it was a dark cloudy morning.
Don't razz her too much, I've done some autobody and painting and believe it or not, there is some green tint to the granite grey. I've sprayed some other greys that have a little green in them too.

Geesh, these Rubicon guys think they own the place. :)
We don't? :devil: Seriously though I love the 2D Sport (well I'm actually partial to all Jeeps ;)). I do really enjoy the posts in the 2-door and sport threads.

I like this thread, a lot! I have a dream of one day getting me- just me, nobody else - a Jeep and I have looked hard at the 2 door models. I don't need a ton of room and I like the look of the 2 door. I do have couple questions, now, assuming your Jeep rode/drove fine stock, when you added a lift, did it change for the worse, better or stay about the same? I know, lift is a REALLY broad term, but I'm mainly interested in the replies from owners that had a negative view, what type did they do, I'd like to avoid - you know.
Next, from owners that had a 4 door and went 2 door; how was the handleing? I know it's going to be slightly different, just wanted your opinions.

Thanks!

I just put on the AEV 2.5” lift. Drives amazing, better than stock. Kit comes with everything, fairly easy install.
Only thing needed to fine tune it is a front track bar for addition.

My only negative is i got 3” of lift and its a little tall for my personal liking

Just brought home my 2019 JL Sport 2 door this week. Tinted glass, 3.6 engine with auto tran, a/c, LSD, hard top, A/T tires. My only mod was pulling the rear seat. I'm a long time Jeeper and used to do a lot of off-roading 50 years ago when I lived in AZ. Now I'm in Iowa, and the Jeep is just to make sure I can get to town for groceries...and have fun doing it.

Just ask @cosine he knows!
Great thread, thanks OP for starting it up! Ordered last Nov. picked up in Vegas in January. Update list is in my sig line. I f'd up not getting LSD when ordering~DOH!!! Got the grandma Michelin A/S tires and the small diff, worst $560 I've ever "saved" :( But gotta say I love this little dude, reminds me of how much I miss my old CJs from the 80s :)
Only future update that I can think of would be a Rubi suspension (if I decide to lift it up that is). Thanks for reading and looking, ROCK-ON!

I to wish I had gotten the LSD when I order mine. I love just the same.
I just added a Rubicon take-off suspension from a JLU with hardtop and steel bumper. It netted me 2.25" in lift.
I also added Smittybilt XRC bumper.

Absolutely not, I love it! Part of me is perfectly happy with the Rubicon takeoffs, it sits just high enough where it's still easy to get in and out but taller than stock. The other part of me want to say screw it and jump into a 2.5" RK lift and 35's.
