Alright guys, laugh it up

In all honesty, I had a 2-Door Rubicon on order and I really didn't want to get a 4-Door. Hell, I haven't had a 4-Door anything in my garage for about 10 years and I wasn't about to start with this. But, after talking to a few of my friends in the industry and doing a lot of thinking, WOLette and I decided that the 4-Door was most likely going to be a hit and that it would do us well to get it instead. Besides, we already had a TJ, a CJ and a 2-Door XJ at the time and having the extra room would be nice - at least, that's what we convinced ourselves of before canceling our 2-Door order and placing an order for a 4-Door.

Now, having said all that, I can honestly say that getting a 4-Door was the best thing that we could have done as we absolutely LOVE this thing. It's still feels like a limo at times but man, does it ever ride nice thanks to the longer wheel base and on the trail, I have not found it's lenght to be a hinderance. In fact, in some cases, I have found it to be a big advantage. And, if I were to do it all over again, I can say with all sincerety that I would do it again.

So, yes, I am eating my words now and will say that I was WRONG about the 4-Door. For those who convinced me to get this thing, you were RIGHT

I love my 2 dr JK, and just being myself and my son couldnt justify the 4 door. Sometimes I regret it, but was curious what situations you found the longer wheel base to be an advantage. (I'm assuming you weren't just referring to extra doors/space/storage).

Mostly in places like Moab or when climbing up tall ledges. The longer wheel base allows you to keep your rear tires planted on the ground with good traction while your fronts get a good enough grip to pull you up and over. This is of course as oppose to having both front and rear tires fighting to climb up and over at the same time. But, the extra space is definitely a huge advantage as well especially since my family and I like to camp a lot.
