Trade in my 4dr for a 2dr?
Hey everyone,
I'd like to get your thoughts on this. I have a 2013 JKU. I sometimes regret not going for the 2 door for originality reasons and shorter wheelbase. In addition I have always wanted a jeep that from the late 80's into the 90's (something that I can work on myself). Should I stick with my 4 door and build up and mod it? Or should trade it in and go for an earlier year or to have the 2dr or just stick with the 4dr?

The most important consideration is what do you plan to do with your Jeep? If it's transporting junior and his friends to soccer matches, then the four door is the better answer. If it's hard core rock crawling, then maybe the two door is best. Overlanding is dominated by four doors, though there are the occasional troopers out there with two doors (and trailers, usually, since overlanding demands transporting more gear). You'll get better responses if you describe a bit how you see yourself using your Jeep.
And, because I like to make and share videos, here's one for you. Lots of four doors, but there is an occasional two door ...

I was in this exact situation, after owning a four door for 7 years, I wanted something different. bought a 2017 2 door, an absolutely love it. SUre there are moments when the four doors come in handy, shopping, transporting kids, etc.. I feel it drives more nimble, on and off-road I can turn anywhere. I say go for it..

Obviously you want the 2 door. You just have to decide if you're going to regret losing the cargo space. If you depend on the trunk and substantial back seat, you'll regret it. If not, you'll join plenty of other happy 2 door owners, myself included.

Love my 2dr but as mentioned, space is at a premium. Both have advantages offroad. Just boils down to how you'll use it the majority of the time. In a perfect world I'd have one of each.

Here is a video I made about getting out there. In my two door of course.
