Default Going back to a jeep, 2dr or 4dr.....should the decision really be this hard!!?!?

I had on 08 sport 2dr but traded it in last november for a mustang gt. now i cant shke the feeling of wanting another jeep!! Instead of trading in the mustang i am looking for a less expensive 07-08 rubi. My only problem is i cant decided between a 2dr or 4dr!!! Wife says 4dr but i fall into that small group that beleives jeeps should be 2dr's. Did anyone else have this dilleamma?!?

We have a 7yr old boy and he used to love clombing in the 2dr through the side using the tires as steps. I dont tow much at all but i am toying with the idea of buying a jet ski in the near future so towing would definately be needed however i did tow a motorcycle with the 2dr and wasnt bad at all....ugh. Decisions!!!

Purchase based on your life needs.
Personally, I LOVE my 4-door sooo much more than the 2-door!

Go test drive both and see how you feel about the 4-door...

Biggest thing...If you go with the 2-door over the 4-door, do you really want your wife saying "I told ya so"??? That could turn deadly...

How could you not want this??

i went from a four door to a two door. mainly because i have other rides for the family and im tired of trying to make tight turns on the trails i ride. it matters. i wheel in the woods.

"Wife says 4dr...". Enough said. Get the 4 door. You'll have a Jeep and a happy wife! (not to mention cargo space).

I really love my 2dr. But at times it would be nice to have a 4dr and i have a 3 year old. But she loves to climb in threw the rear window area.
