    2 Door Jeeps: For 2 people and removing the rear seat, you have a ton of storage in the back. I vary rarely have more than 2 people in my Jeep. I love the look of the 2 door with the top removed.

      I currently have a 4-door pickup and I rarely have more than 2 people in it. Most of the time, it's just me and no passenger. I think a lot of people buy a vehicle with more seats than they really need.

      The four door Jeep Wranglers look like (because they were) a design afterthought. The two door Wranglers just look and feel the part of what these magnificent utilitarian four wheel drive vehicles were designed to do. I always thought that the Cherokee (now a very bland and station wagon-like car) should have taken on the role of the four door off road monster that the four door Wranglers now are.

      I don't give a crap what 2dr "purist" snobs think. I've had CJs and a YJ. They're smaller than a JK or JL. I treated mine like convertible mini-pickups. They towed, hauled, commuted, offroaded, roadtripped, recovered, etc.
      A 4dr is fine offroad if you're not trying to be a competitive rockcrawler or trying to compensate for weak self-esteem. Just set it up intelligently, instead of spending THOUSANDS on a huge lift, enough lights for a football stadium, and 20"+ rims...instead of armor, lockers, a winch, and durable 33-37" tires. The bloated JK and JL are already 6" wider than earlier Jeeps.
      If you want an offroader that can climb steeps, but also want a convertible, AND you have 3 kids...or kids still in carseats, still socialize with 2 parents simultaneously, have a few big dogs, want to haul big stuff without a trailer, and/or want to tow your 3000lb boat to the local ramp, the 4dr is the way to go. The ride tends to be nicer with the 4dr too. Tops and rockers are more expensive though.
      If you're that worried about breakover angle, engineer a high-clearance skid to maybe complement taller tires/suspension. Install rocker protection that can be pivoted on. Do a 3pt instead of a U-turn. This isn't rocket surgery. Try to keep the COG and overall height reasonable, so that it doesn't flop over or clip the roof on every branch/ceiling/cliff.
      I have a small 4dr hatchback commuter. It's usually just me in the car. I still like having 4drs for when it's more though. A 2dr is often a PITA with carseats, elderly family members, or large cargo. You're not as comfortable towing a 3000lb boat very far with a 2dr Wrangler either.

      I see far more women driving 4 doors now. How any "man" can look at a goofy and just outright fugly, super feminine 4 dr limo and drive that thing off the lot says a lot about that person. Any man (said loosely) not a minimalist is a fruit. Ladies and "certain men" need a lot of room for shopping bags and a lot of other 💩.

    I have a 2 door (I've had 3 to be exact). I've also had a 4 door (my wife did). I like the 2 door because I like to have the doors off during the warmer months. 4 doors just aren't appealing with the doors off. However "lifted" 4 doors have better trail manners. Either way you go, they're great vehicles to own. Life's too short to drive a boring car.

      The 4dr is not really a jeep. Since the 40s, jeeps had short wheel bases and were light for climbing. The long wheel base is the same as buying a 4wd suv.

    • @joshe7813
      @joshe7813 7 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Bryce, owning a 2 door and a 4 door and wheeling them constantly, will take the 4 door any day. The slight breakover angle loss isn't really a hindrance. Its better climbing ability is immensely helpful.

    • @logicreigns3478
      @logicreigns3478 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I disagree with you Josh, having had both myself. I would say there are four difference: turning radius/maneuvering, breakover, off camber, high incline climbing. But that the areas where JK has advantages are more important to most. The difference in turning radios (advantage JK) are frankly huge. Breakover is slightly better on JK too. There is an advantage on JKU on some rare off camber lines. As far as climbing, the difference is nowhere near the difference in radius

    The 4 door will sleep 2 tall people well.
    I'm 6 foot and throw some sofa cushions in it and it is great for winter storms or to be less concerned about bears, snakes, cougars, maybe even people;... can't drive off in a tent.
    A mesh screen for the window(s) to keep bugs out is needed to beat a tent for summer.
    That extra 10 inches of width is needed for shoulders, so I sleep with my head toward the front.
    One person may be able to nap in the rear seat on their side as it is easier with the 4 door that can seat 3 not too wide people.
    The front seats recline also for napping but laying down on sofa cushions in the back can be better than some beds.
    Surprisingly the lifted 4 door is not hurting too bad on black diamond trails compared to the 2 door and may be less prone to flipping over backward onto its roof climbing ledges.

    I just purchased my 2016 2 door jeep wrangler and I LOVE it! Especially when the top/doors comes off, the 2 door looks more like the vintage jeep wrangler than the 4 door does. I feel like the 4 door looks weird with the top/doors off....doesn't give me that jeep vibe. The dealership offered me a 2015 4 door that was $4,000 cheaper! I still walked away with my 2 door and couldn't be happier. Plus I'm only 23 and it's just my dog and I. it fits our lifestyle :) TEAM TWO DOOR!

The trunk has a 6 person tent, camping cookware, knives, 2 large bags of clothing for 2 weeks of travel, and an air compressor. She still handles mountains and boulders like a champ. We just finished a Jeep Jamnoree and she is all stock.

    I have to disagree with a lot of the 4 Door haters. Like Junior said in the video, it depends on what you intend to use it for. I have had 3 wranglers. a YJ, a 2005 TJ and now my 2015 4 door Rubicon Hard Rock Edition. I go camping, fishing and hunting in very remote places in Nevada and Utah. the 4 door allows me to carry additional gear with out a trailer. some of the places I go, it is advantageous to have the longer wheel base of the 4 door. having owned both, I have to agree with the video, buy a 2 door, if that's all you need, but if you need the extra space like I do. get the 4 door.

      while there are some insanely cool $2000 roof rack systems, very good ones can be had for $500. I also do a lot of remote hunting and fishing including with four people and we can fit all our gear including extra gas on the roof of my 2door. when I am back in the city I can park in spaces smaller cars leave!

    • @shadvan9494
      @shadvan9494 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      a lot of the cheap roof racks require you to drill a hole in your hard top, and have supports that mount to the roll cage. which causes the hard top to leak or crack. the exo-cages racks are really nice, but expensive. I used a exo-cage rack on old YJ. I put everything on top, except the sleeping bags. just in case of a rain storm and it did really well. I learned the lesson about putting the sleeping bags inside the hard way. not a fun trip. I really wanted a 2 door, but with everything I do, the 4 door made more sense for me at the time.

    • @rd58rd58
      @rd58rd58 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      ***** 1. I am not a 4 door hater. 2) none of the roof racks I am talking about require drilling into a hard top -- in fact they can be used on hard or soft top.
      I am only saying there are a lot of solutions.

    • @shadvan9494
      @shadvan9494 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      never said you were a 4 door hater. however there are a lot of people that do hate 4 door wranglers. I love 2 doors, I would have preferred to have a 2 door, the turning radius is much better than the 4 door. but I needed the extra space and occasionally I need the extra towing capacity of the 4 door. I didn't want to add a roof rack do to the reasons stated in my previous post. I am sure there are venders that have roof racks that don't require drilling in to the hard top or the body tub of the jeep. I just have not looked that far in to it and those were the ones I saw at the time at the local jeep dealer. I ran a roof rack on my old 95 YJ. it bolted to the windshield frame and the then looped up and bolted to the rear frame, it required that I drill some holes in the frame to attach the rear supports. it worked well. I believe it was a smittybilt. but I don't remember back that far... it was around 20 years ago.

    I was 54 when I bought my 2 door as it's just my wife and I now, so no real need for four doors or a back seat, which I removed soon after I bought it. Without the back seat, it does have a ton more room for your stuff. Also, once the seat was removed, I bought the Mopar cargo liner (heavy rubber with the tire tracks on it) that is made for the Wrangler 4 door and it fits like a glove! I must admit that the turning radius in the 2 door is amazing! One last thing - if your 2 door is equipped with the 3.73 gears, it can tow up to 3500 lbs.

    Well thought out video. I am on my 4th Jeep. My three previous ones were all 2 door. This is my first 4 door and I love it. I do tow a lot and take it off road. The difference is night and day. The 4 door seems to tilt and shift better over rocks and tough terrain because of the longer wheel base. Also, I like the bigger overhead girth between the rails when the top is off. A much better choice for me. But don't get me wrong, I loved my 2 door wranglers.

      Did you have a 2 door JK? I like the look and utility of the 4 doors, but the 2 door is a completely different vehicle. The suspensions are different to begin with. The 2 door is playful and responsive like a sports car, and the 4 door is more like a station wagon made for hauling. I guess it's all a matter of taste and usage though.

    I've had 3 Jeep Wranglers (6 Jeeps all together). I had a 2004 Rubicon (2 door of course), 2011 Wrangler Unlimited, and 2012 Wrangler. I do agree with you that I like the 2door & that the price does jump quite a bit; however, I found I liked the 4 door the most for the space. I had no problem parking anywhere, even in crowded cities, and I could carry so much more. The internal space was just amazing compared. But again, like you said, if you aren't going to ever carry much of anything or more than one person the 2 door may be fine for you. But if you plan to keep the Jeep for lets say 5+ years, can you really say you won't want to carry something or maybe even tow something in the future? I never planned on towing anything until I rented 2 Jetskis and had to tow them to the lake. Luckily I had a hitch on that Jeep, even though I never really planned to use it for more than a bike rack and back storage rack.

    • @rd58rd58

      Earthling1984 My point is when unforeseen optional towing comes to mind it is not a 4,000lb boat or heavy trailer, but things like a carrier for half a dozen kayaks, or a couple of jets skis, or a 5x8 cargo or utility or say an small dishing motor boat, and the 2door has no issues with those. People who do have a specific need for regular heavy to medium heavy towing are not going to buy a any wrangler for that.

    You didn't mention one of my pet peeves... When the back seat is folded up there isn't a lock to keep it up. Instead it bounces up and down unless you install a strap to hold it. Of course there isn't much to attach the strap to under the seats...

    • @amt9289
      @amt9289 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Jeff Tjernagel Your right about the need for a strap or something needed to hold that seat up. I used a bungee cord.

      Jeep says don't drive with the back seat folded up on the 2 door. You should remove it.

    • @thelasttaarakian
      @thelasttaarakian 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      just remove the stupid back seats in the 2door... no one who has a 2door Jeep is gonna be hauling children, pets, soccer teams or buying groceries for that amount of people or pets either. with those dumb things gone it's not only much easier to see out the back but you get a ton of space in the back.

    The 4 door is designed for families and folks with lots of friends. It’s designed to be a daily driver. The 2 door is designed for single folks, empty nesters, and retired folks. I’m retired so I just bought a 2 door JK. Love it. The perfect Jeep for me.

  • @TheValleyofAwesome
    @TheValleyofAwesome 7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I'm not sure if the video even mentioned it, but the 2 door also has a better breakover angle than the 4 door :p. The 2 door has a lesser chance of belly scraping due to the shorter wheelbase which makes it more practical for off road use. Either way, JK's rock! ^__^

  • @jakp8777

    The base 2 door doesn't have air conditioning where it's standard on the unlimited. That's part of the price difference between the two.

  • @rogermetzger7335
    @rogermetzger7335 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    My wife and I subscribe to the philosophy that less is more. There are several things that most people in the U.S. seem to want but that I don't even like and that Sally readily agrees that we don't need:
    Automatic transmission
    Electric transfer case actuation
    Electric window lifts
    Cast aluminum wheels
    Automatic door locks
    Electric seats
    We're not opposed to people buying those things if they want them and can afford them but we'd WAY rather spend our limited resources actually GOING places in our 4WD rigs--camping trips and picnic trips to places FAR from the nearest paved roads.
    We had a 1999 Wrangler from 1999 to 2008. Base model 4 cyl, manual transmission, full hard doors with side window glass and manual window lifts, 15x6" steel wheels (not full face). Sally traded the 205 tires for 235s the day after we bought the Jeep but anybody who hasn't attempted backcountry exploring in a base model TJ is not likely to have the faintest idea of how capable that rig was!
    I really appreciate the info about the change in the design of the seats on the new 2-door Wrangler. It's too bad they didn't retain more of the design features from the TJ but it is what it is. We just need to take that into account if we ever decide to buy another Wrangler. (Right now we have a 4WD 1997 Dodge pickup and a 2010 Patriot with Freedom Drive I.)

    For all you guys comparing the capabilities of a 4Runner or any other production 4 wheel drive SUV, I have news for you - there is no comparison. The Jeep is the only body on frame solid axle 4x4 available. Everything else, your Toyota's and Nissan's and whatever are all IFS and uni-body vehicles - inferior from a pure off road strength and capability standpoint. Argue whatever you want but the bottom line is an independent front suspension will not articulate the way a solid axle does, nor is it as strong, (see the demise of the FJ cruiser) - they are inferior for off road use. Bottom line - nothing on the market today is even in the same class as the Jeep - body on frame, solid axle.

The past three summers we took my friends 2 door Jeep Wrangler Rubicon out of St Louis and drove 12 hours to go Shores Alabama and last summer made a trip to Ouray Colorado all with 4 passengers. there was no roof rack. but there was a trailer hitch rack that perfectly held suitcases golf bags, in the trunk space of the two door even with an added sub still is plenty for supplies and food. Your review is pretty great though. four door Jeep Wranglers are really good for only one thing. Getting groceries

    I love my 2015 2door sport but it is a vehicle you make compromises in. There are three of us and it works fine. I traded my Honda Pilot in on it and don't regret it. In every measurable way other then offroad the Honda is better, but it is not a Jeep. My family and I really enjoy it for camping and wheeling. I bought the 2door because of the price and maneuverability.
