When I said they don't make them like they used to, sure, they need a little work but, so does a new one to make 'em capable. How does the capability of my station wagon look compared to your JK ? lol

That's awesome! Next time we drive up Carrizo Mtn you can take it and avoid those teeter-totter moments! ;-)

I have to agree with the top and doors off the two door looks better. I currently have a two door and love it but there just isn't space to being my wife, two kids and dog on camping trips. I am also more limited on towing my camper which just exceeds the two door capacity. All these reasons are why I just ordered a 2017 JKUR to replace my two door. I will miss the look of the two door but can't wait for the extra space.

stock the 2 door looks better hands down. Lifted with big tires they both look good but the 4 door looks a bit tougher. I bought a 2 door and didn't even give consideration to a 4 door. I don't have kids anymore and if I want to haul my grandkids or other people just take my Silverado. For the most part I wouldn't give consideration to a jeep jk as an only daily driver anyway. Its more of a second vehicle/utv/hunting rig to me. For that purpose the smaller size, lighter weight, and tighter turning radius make the 2 door the hands down winner.

Default i agree with the post above

when i bought my 2011 jk it was a 2 door i traded up for a 2012 rubicon , i had the option of ordering anything i wanted 4 door or any options. I went with a bare bones 2 door no bells or whistles , manual windows and door locks tinted rear windows and a engine block heater due to i live in a colder climate of the USA

I never have more than myself or a passenger in the vehicle so my back seat was removed day one. Its only for gear needed like a utv hunters rig so i rarely have to go back there for anything. I put racks on the back of mine for stuff i need to carry on daily basis , which works out nicely for me. I like the 4 doors as well in some cases when dressed up right same with 2 doors . But i cant see me in a 4 door even though it has more room. To me The compact simplicity of a jeep is the fact that it can maneuver in tight quarters much like the military had in mind for its design. To me the 4 door is to long for that aspect. Not that they dont have more room benefits . For me the 2 door has been the right choice even though @ times ive muttered the words i should have gotten the 4 door maybe lol it was only a rare moment when trying to get under the rear window

I have had both and love them both for different reasons.
I currently have a wife and 3 boys. When we go hunting/fishing/camping/vacationing I need the room for all my, and their, stuff. Also, kinda required to have 3 seat belts. We bought a bare-bones JKUS for the fun/economy.
But when they're all gone it'll probably be traded for a 2-door Rubi.
