The 2Dr Sport Only Thread

[Rufus]

Here's my 2018. I bought it during construction of a new house I'm building. So I haven't had time to play with it. But I just picked up a Rubi take-off suspension and Sahara wheels. Now if I can just finish the house, so that I can get back to what's important.

Did you add that “4x4 Off-road” sticker on the rear size?

No

Interesting, I don’t think I’ve seen that before. My ‘18 JL Sport didn’t come with it.

My 2 door Sport is excellent stock, it's the first Sport I didn't have to upgrade the tires ,wheels ,as the LSD option gave me 32" Bridgestone tires. . Remember when stock Sports had 29" tires, 16" wheels ?? The stock 3:45 axle ratio is a big improvement over the JKs 3:21, I had to order the 3:73 on my JK, an extra jolt to the wallet. The only things I've added, hitches front and rear, Mopar side steps ( saving for ROAM), mud Flaps ( Quadratec). My cargo liner from the JK, Dirty Dog, transferred no problem. No lifts, or big tires in my future; Skid plates likely, and when tires become worn, I'll replace with the same, or 33" Pizza Cutters, narrow is Good.
Best "stock" Wrangler ever...
PS, decals are my add-on, I liked the JK Willys, and made my JL one before the JL one appeared. Already had LSD, so painted grill, added decals, and a budget Willys is born..

I find that DCJ in S.W. Florida have decals on the vehicles that aren’t anywhere else.

I need to stop reading this - it makes me want to buy stuff.

Mine didn't come with bridgestones... came with Goodyear AT's (kevlar). And they are technically 31.5 not 32. Sweet tires tho.

3 months under ownership, no loft kits, no bigger tires, no mods what so ever (just some rugged ridge door entry guards and floor mats) and having a blast with my stock 2 door. Honestly don’t see myself getting a lift or even bigger tires. Only thing I’m looking at getting right away is a winch on the front, although not sure how much weight I can put before I start seeing a sag upfront.

Just get some rubi takeoffs, from a rubi that had metal bumpers and get either a light metal bumper or one of those winch plates to be able to install it on your plastic bumper. Then you don't have to worry about sag.

ok thanks, that’s a good idea. Also looking at getting a roof rack to put a overlander tent on, but I haven’t seen any for the JL 2 door models, and from what I’ve read, the JK models wouldn’t work.

Nice find! I like how you can remove the freedom panels with that also!

Have you looked into exposed racks, cheap and claim to hold 300lbs dynamic. If you wanna invest some more cash $$$ best rack out there imo is the maximus 3, can hold a lot of weight and it is low profile and light. I like it much better than the Gobi rack.

Just crossed the Mississippi and stopping for gas. Had the JL 2-door Sport S since late September and already nearing 6000 miles. Hopefully this will be one of my last trips to Iowa.

Best,

Something I recently got that other 2 door Sports may be interested in.
I wanted to cover the pinch seam/rocker.
I don't like running boards and didn't feel I needed a true rock rail.
They are quite a bit cheaper from Amazon than anywhere else.

I got that too... very good investment and body protection from stuff being thrown up from the road....
