I have a 2 door, kinda wish I had a 4 door.

Doing anything that involves travel or shopping sucks, plus the lack of towing capacity.

It's a toss up for me. Both are awesome, comes down to how much space you need etc. My 2 dr with the rear seat removed is perfect for my wife and I with our 4 legged child. I like how tight it turns and the places it can fit both on and off road.

This is a question that seems to bring up many ruffled feathered discussions. I've done my fair share of contributing in them.

I will say this. Of all those discussions I have seen quite a few 2 door owners say, "I wish I had gotten the 4 door instead", but not once have I heard a 4 door owner say, "I wish I had gotten the 2 door instead."

I've owned three 2-door JKs and two 4-door JKs. The 2-door is more fun to drive, more maneuverable, and feels a lot more sporty. The 4-door works better for long expedition style trips that require lots of gear. Both work well off road, with the 2-door being better some places, and the 4-door being better in other places. The 4-door requires about two more inches of lift to work well off road than the 2-door does.

I had a 4-dr. Sahara and wished I had a 2-dr. Rubicon. I probably would have kept the 4-dr. anyway, but it had so many electrical issues that I finally sold it. I have my 2-dr. Rubicon now and haven't looked back.

I've owned both as well, and I agree with everything you said here.

But to the OP, since you're coming from a Liberty, it makes me think a 4-dr. might be best for you, since you're used to having 4 doors.

Love my 2 door, but the convenience of a 4 door would be great :-/

I have two 2-door JKs, if they made an Unlimited with only 2 doors I would own one for the interior space. I don't use the back seat and haven't had it in since new.

Four door if you have a family, makes it fun for all. Two door if you aren't planing for a family in the near future...just my 2 cents!
