Default 4door to 2 door?

My buddy is thinking about going form a 4 door to a 2 door. He is single (meaning no kids no real responsibilities ) has a 3.8 and wants the 3.6(and a stick shift). At first I though he was crazy but now I think he might be on to something ? Any input?

I went from a 2 X door to a 4 door Rubi. I don't have kids either but it's just do much more convenient. Hope that helps!

There are dozens of pros and cons for each, just comes down to lifestyle. If he doesn't find himself using the extra space in the 4-door, I'd say make the switch while he's still unattached.

Thanks guys I'll pas it along. I have a 4 door and I never really though about a 2 door (after 07) but the more and more I think about it I hardly "use it". I guess i have just learned to love the look of a 4 door lifted of course lol.

I've got a 2 door, It's certainly a compromise but IMO looks way cooler.

I went from a 2010 4 door to a 2012 2 door. The upgrade in power is hashtagsurprisingrygud. I'm married with a kid and two dogs. The wife drives the practical vehicle so it works out. I'm happy I made the change.

Went from a 07 4 door to a 2013 2 door and haven't looked back. Love the 2 door. Single and no responsibilities like that as well. Love it on the trail too. Sure the wheel base comes into play sometimes but with the 4 door the break over angle and turning on the trails is a pain. Pros and cons of each but I love the 2 door
