Default 2dr Stretched Wheelbase

ANYONE OUT THERE DONE A STRETCH ON A 2DR JK? I HAVE SEEN A COUPLE KITS OUT THERE ON THE MARKET. I AM SERIOUSLY CONSIDERING THIS AS THE NEXT MAJOR UPGRADE FOR MY JK.
THANKS GUYS

I did a 20" stretch...
























































And I also added two additional doors for aesthetic reasons...

Sorry, I just take a lot of grief for buying a 4dr. So, I thought I would sling some back towards the SWB guys…

It's a pig on tight trails already... No need to lengthen any farther in my humble opinion!

I like the idea of a stretched 2dr, or welding up the rear doors on the 4dr and making a jk8 type rig.. I just like the 2dr look, without the post between the doors, so stretching the 2dr would look better. Burnsville had a nice black one.. I'd like just enough room to squeeze in my dirt bike.. and camping gear so I don't have to tow a trailer..

sometimes I wish I'd have bought a 4-dr after I got married in Dec and having two teen daughters, so we decided to get her a 4-dr Rubi early next year hopefully. All I need is a congo rack or something for storage, even a wilderness rack would help when we want to go camping, the 4-drs have a lot of room compared to us and 4 people in the vehicle on a trip.
