Default 2-Door or 4-Door

I havent seen a thread yet about which everyone prefers/likes best in an XJ. So lets see everyones opinion. Do you like the 2-Door or 4-Door best? Me personally, i have never seen any 4-door car that i liked or looked good, but a 4-door XJ looks way better then a 2-Door. A 2-Door looks "hheeeyyyyy" lol, not flaming on anyones ride, just speaking my opinion, we all have diffrent opinions on everything.. So which do you prefer?..

Also, the 4-Door doesnt only look better, but its alot easier to load up or unload 4 or 5 people...

ive owned 3 2drs and 6 4 drs.

i like both, but prefer the 2drs

while the 4 doors may be easier to fit more people in, i didnt buy the jeeps for them.
besides, i like to go doorless and the 4 drs look a little off with doors removed

I personally like the 2 doors better. Its always been personal preference for my off road trucks to be as short as possible.

I'm not sure but I'm assuming the wheel base for the 2 doors is shorter.

Either way, if I want/need a 4 door truck, its not gonna be a Cherokee. Its gonna be Ford Excursion with a 7.3L PowerStroke Diesel.

Nope. Everything is the same length and inner changeable from the 4 door-2door. Just the fact that the longer doors on the 2 door make it look shorter. but if you were to flip them upside down and compare you would not be able to tell a difference

I have owned 2 four doors and 2 two doors and I like the 2 door's better. They seem more aggressive to me. And a lifted two door looks so much better than a lifted four door.

the wheel bases and deminsions from bumper to bumper is the same. as with the width. 2 and 4 doors are the exact same in deminsions

Doors won't be interchangable, then, will they? Just today saw a thread with a door from a 4 door on a 2 door, and it was much shorter.

Now that I've got even more information on the specs, I'll take it even further and say I'd really like a 2 door over a 4 door as the 2 door has better cargo space from the hatch.

If I really need to haul people and gear, the Excursion is the way to go. I'll (practically) fit an entire Cherokee inside it.

Not really.. both have rear seats that provide the same cargo area when folded down.. (or up).. however with the seats folded down it is easier to get to the cargo at the front when you have a 4 door..

i personally think the back glass is to long on a 2 door so my vote has to go for a four door, although when doorless a 2 door looks better.

Have fun with that gas guzzling, heavy monster, I'd much rather have my 4 door cherokee, plus Ford is crap, Mopar all the way.
