The 2Dr Sport Only Thread

[BrandonB00]

Did you replace the stock tires? or are those those the optional ATs?

I ordered it with the tires that come on the Rubicon (essentially 33s) and Sport wheels. If i were doing it over again I would just buy my own wheels and tires as they managed to charge me a lot of cash to do this. I could have just got some sweet @fifteen52 turbomacHD wheels. .
Hopefully Jeep will buy this lemon back and I can do it right next time.

Just found this thread. I've had this since august and has over 6k miles on it. It's a sport S but I wanted the sport wheels on it. I haven't done any upgrades yet because I'm waiting on Jeep to fix my steering.....and my radio. but other than that I think I got the best model for my needs! i am pretty envious of that @Rock Krawler Suspension rig!!!

Thanks, our lil' yellow jeep has moved on to a new owner in TX. It was one of the more fun ones we have built in a while, though I'm a 2 door guy through and through.

Woah that looks great. Any clearance issues?

 

[nick1tucker]

No clearance issues, The wheels are pro comp aluminum (series 69 I believe) 17x9 4.25 backspace. And the tires are 35x12.50 Toyo open country mt

 

[rangejt]

Did some updates, 1.5" Teraflex Lift, EAG Crawler Bumper, Rough Country 12" Led Bar and four Led 2" Pods. Barricade 9,500lb Winch and tube rock sliders.

Does anyone have the Rough Country seat covers in their 2 doors?
Does it have a slot or flap on the top of the seats for the fold forward levers?
Their stock photos dont show them, though they do seem to show the correct 2 door back seat..

 

[four low]

Stock photos usually show seat covers for 4 doors, which don't have the seat back " fold forward " feature of the 2 doors, which requires the slot for the lever.
Call the manufacturer to be sure of availability for the 2 door

So it's been over a year since I started this post and things didn't go as planned. I had some health issues so my other hobbies got cut back so I put resources into the Jeep instead. Was originally going to keep it low just leave it with Rubicon takeoff tire and lift but was having clearance issues where I wheel so I needed some more height. The failing rear D44 limited slip also prompted an upgrade to Rubicon axles rather that fighting with a dealer.

Rubicon take off wheels / tires / axles
DIY winch bumper / winch / etc.
EAG rock rails with DIY removable steps
RK 2.5" X Factor lift / Fox shocks (ended up being 3.5")
Synergy track bar and drag link
M.O.R.E engine and transfer case skids
JKS swaybar disconnects
DIY switch panel for lockers and front light bar
Trailer hitch / wire harness
Tazer JL lite
Headlight / Foglight / backup LED bulbs
Weather tech floor liners
Generic seat covers

To do list:
BIGGER TIRES
Gas tank skid
DIY rear bumper
Additional lighting?

Nothing against the Rubicon or Sahara or 4 doors, but the 2 Dr sports don't get a lot of love on the forums and not everything applies to them. The aftermarket has been slow to release 2Dr specific parts and not everything is interchangeable from a 2Dr to 4Dr or the other models. So I thought it would be a good idea to have a thread dedicated to 2Dr sports whether it be a new mod you did or accessory you bought or whatever. I'm just starting out with mine and am already finding a lot conflicting information about what works and what doesn't and thought others might also.

I haven't done much so far, it's only three weeks old but I'm working on the list of required equipment by my local clubs so I can do some trail riding. I did get black Weathertech floor liners for the front and they fit perfect (part #4413131).

I installed the trailer hitch leftover from my JK and it fit perfect. HOWEVER, the wire harness is completely different and you need an auxiliary harness with switching module that requires a 12v lead run up to the fuse box in the engine compartment. Something like this:

So post a picture of what you got or what you've done and hopefully this thread will stay alive for a while and be a resource for future 2Dr sport owners.
