Have an opportunity to get a GREAT deal on a Sahara Unlimited! Everything i wanted as far as color, mileage..etc.

The issue: 2 wheel drive.

Would anyone on here buy if the deal was good enough? And if so is lifting the 2WD any different?

Thanks!

 

I think everyone here would so no. 2WD not worth it.

 

Here in Omaha?

No way I would buy a 2WD Jeep, not with our winters here.

 

With it being only a 2wd that had better be one *sweet* deal.

I'm not sure what the climate is like where you are, but here I would say no dice...2wd isn't even an available option where I live.

 

No way if you get any snow. The 2x4 is rear wheel drive on top of it. Just doesn't seem to make sense unless you are strickly highway driving in dry part of the country.

 

Lifting a 2wd is the exact same as a 4wd, just doesn't require front driveshaft replacement when you start getting higher.

I chose the 2wd to save money in the long run and convert it to 4wd, however, if you don't plan to get that involved and you might need the 4wd for daily driving, I would opt for the 4wd instead.

 

I think the vast majority of JK-Forum participants would eventually regret such a decision.

 

Is it just me or did they only sell 2WD JK's in the U.S? I havent seen or heard of one in Canada.

 

That's correct, 2wd isn't an option North of the border...

 

Might as well buy a front wheel drive Corvette while you're at it.
