If I owned a 2 door I don't think I would care much. With a 4 door power all the way.

I like power locks because it also locks the tailgate rather than using a key, which i think would be PITA since i use my tailgate constantly as thats where i keep a majority of my tools..plus i couldnt consitute spending 30k+ on a vehicle and not getting power locks and windows

No power on the 2 door doesn't bother me. I would want power with a 4 door.

I have a pretty stripped out X. I don't mind rolling down a window. I also know the window motors will never get slow or break. Power locks on the other hand are the only option I wish I had. It's a pain walking around the jeep and locking all the doors when going shopping etc....

Moving from a TJ to the JK the power option has been GREAT!! NOT having to remember to lock the back with keyless is nice but the not cranking, folding or sliding windows in a drive thru is the BEST! No leaning over to unlock the passenger door either.

My JK is manual everything

I could care less about power windows in a 2-door. In a 4-door, I think I would want them.

As far as power locks.......I miss them every time its raining, every time I need to open the tailgate, and every time I'm parked in a dark area. Last night, it was dark out, pouring down rain, and I had my hands full of stuff that needed to get put in the back. Of course it was locked. Had to fiddle with my stupid keys in the rain. Damn I miss power locks and remote entry. After last night, installing power locks is now my #1 project for this year.

I have had a 4 door and now a 2 door, both have been manual windows and locks. I have had absolutely no issues with either. When the doors are off and you have no top on it is though to use power windows and locks. Honestly I wish I had gone with half doors.
