Yucca Patrol

If there was no 4 door version, I simply could not have a Wrangler. This Jeep replaces my aging Land Rover Defender 90 which had only 2 doors but much more cargo room than a 2 door wrangler. No kids, but 4 Saint Bernards require some extra space, especially if we go camping.

2 door is the classic and can be better in extreme off-road situations, but it is really only good for 2 people plus camping gear or 4 people plus a picnic basket.

And I was very impressed with how well my Rubicon Unlimited did at a local 4x4 park. I had no problems with any obstacle I attempted and drove straight up an incredibly steep hill that one of the locals said once took him an hour to get up. With the improved technology: lockers, swaybar disconnect, low gears, etc, my new Jeep certainly out-performed my old Land Rover.

X2. My wifes 2d is pretty much useless for running errands in.
The unlimited also rides better. IMO

Thanks for all the advice guy's, I appreciate it. Looks like a Yellow Rubicon Unlimited is in my future.

Can't do anything but agree with this. I have a 2 door and love it. But the back seat is worthless. It's out so I have room to carry stuff.

In any practical sense the 2 door is a 2 seater.

If you look back at all the Jeeps from the past , MB's CJ's, TJ's, none of them would have what you would call comfortable rear seating.

I can't wait to add one of those external hitch trunks and that rack that attaches to the rear door. My Wrangler will have 4 doors, 3 rows of seats and loads and loads of storage room. It'll be a friggin' beast!!

If you really want the 2 door get it, a cooler, a small tent and a couple of duffles will easily fit, I've done it. I also have 2 boys (1 & 3) we take off for weekend trips with the Jeep fairly often, normally have a cooler, pack-n-play, and a couple of backpacks behind the seat. I did opt to add a safari rack for longer trips but rarely use it if we are just going for one or two nights.

I agree with most of the above. I only have 1 kid and I wasn't looking for a daily driver so it wasn't a difficult decision for me because I really love the looks of the 2 door JK and it's plenty big enough for my intended uses.

Howerver, I did test drive a 4 door though and I must say if I had two kids or if I was looking for a daily driver it would have been very tempting with all that extra room.

But if you're really torn I say go with your gut. The two door does have a decent amount of space and you can always use a trailer or a tow hitch type rack to add extra space in a pinch.
