Default Second Thoughts?

Yup Yup, first post.

Well I got my first jeep (always wanted one) 08 black 2dr X 6pd base a few days ago at a shaweeet price. With the top down and the Jeep Wave, it almost feels like I'm on my bike. My only concern is, I hope I don't regret not buying a 4dr. Anyone else have this feeling?

Anyways, sweet forum

Welcome aboard, Ponch! Since I went with the four door, no regrets here; I really needed the extra space and seats (i was replacing a short cab F-150). So, how about some pictures of your new JK, okay?

I'll be posting pics as soon as I get a new camera cord. My dog decided she was going to take a little nibble out of the connectors. The JK is bone stock...for now. . I went from a Avalanche with every option to a JK with none...hahaha go figure.

I was thinking pretty similiar. I was tired of being DD and road trip biotch. It has enough room for all my hunting gear but I'll have to add a little something extra for deer. Both have their Pros and Cons. The only way to fix that is to buy both...

I have one of those trailer hitch basket/racks, that adds enough cargo space for what i need. If i really needed more, I'd go roof rack personally , or trailer, before i started adding doors.

The 4drs are nice, and the extra room and all would be good, but i just cant get by "4 DOORS" that just doesnt do it for me. *L*

2 or 4 they both look good. I see alot of 4dr JKs around. The 4drs that are lifted looking insane. I have only seen two 2drs lifted....damn!!!
But if I had a 4dr, I think I would prob have another post saying, should I have gotten to the 2dr? Actually it might be, I just like anything Jeep.

Got any links for trailer ideas? I have enough room for duck decoys and gear now.

Wanted and happy with the two-door. If I had kids I might've reconsidered, but I don't. Compared to my previous TJ the JK is more spacious anyways, so it was still an improvement.

As far as looks go, which do you think looks better...2 or 4? I think they both have a look of their own.
