    If you are a single guy, living in Silverton or Ouray Colorado, have a dog, like to ground camp and really want to get away from stupid people, a TJ/JK/JL is really an amazing way to go. (Yes, my wife knows this would be me if anything ever happened to us)

    Any statistical data that makes you feel this way? Hundreds of rollover Wrangler owners would disagree.

    Yeah, that makes sense. It's just that after owning two-door cars for most of my life, I'm kind of over them. I really like the convenience of having a set of rear doors. I actually am a single guy with a dog, and I find my 4Runner is great for that lifestyle. I think a four-door JL would also be great.

    I found the two-door rental was inconvenient when it came to getting stuff out of the back seat, or storing the freedom tops. I did really appreciate how maneuverable it was and easy to park. If it was something I was going to spend more time off-road with, I might consider a two-door, and the first mod would be to pull out the back seat forever lol.

    Who cares? This never shows everything anyway.
    He must be really tall. His wife's afraid his head would hit the rollbar in a bad accident. His head does touch it.

    My head literally touches the rollbar.

    If I’m rear ended or rollover I crack my skull.

    Only 6’3”. I need the chair all the way back to fit my legs. I’ve test driven both wranglers and the Gladiator. My head hits the roll bar over bumps and speed tables.
