I am not trying to be an a-hole as the original poster of the other thread wasn't, it is simply a valid question for me. It seems to me that all JK's are quite capable, so if you could have more room for family, friends and gear why wouldn't you buy the unlimited? On top of the room, it also tows more and I am sure will go through snow better. With all of this being said, are they that much better off road and going through tight spaces, or is it just that they were originally built as two doors, so they should never be changed?
For me, aside from the room, the 2 doors look simply awful to me... there HAS to be others out there like me... they just look unbalanced and makes me for the owner when I see one... that's just me... I don't get it either... its like a no-brainer for a 4 door just on looks, let alone it's expanded function... I NEVER EVER would have bought one if they still made only 2 doors...

WOW! I sure wish I could've afforded a jeep with all those mods on my store clerk salary when I was in high school!!!
