All, As some of you may know i currently have a fairly built up 2012 2 door JK (pr44, lockers, 35s, bunch of stuff) . I am a year or two away from turning this into a non daily driver and am the point where the next mods (still down the road a bit) would be, 37s, coil-overs, rear axle, and various things here and there. I prefer to build things a bit above what is "needed" so to maybe lessen the chance of failure- and why not in reality. Based on a recent adventure with a bunch of people with a nice mix of Jeeps (all 4 doors) I ive been doing some thinking and if im going to do all of these future mods why not see what a stretch would end up being and maybe a double throw down (makes sense to me to go all the way if im going this route). This could make a very unique Jeep but i imagine it would not be cheap at all. On the Rubicon i found that while my shorter wheelbase may have came in handy at times a longer wheel base might be more advantageous throughout the entire trail. So when i thought about all this, another issue came to mind. As my family will be growing in the next several years i realized that with a 2 door there just isn't quite the interior room to do everything i will want to do in the future.
This brings me to the point, Im trying to decide if it smarter to sell my current Jeep nowish and buy a used 4 door and build that up, correctly, from the start (likely not DTD). I feel like it may set me back a bit but ultimately will give me what Im looking for, at maybe a cheaper price in the long run (idk). I have certainly not made up my mind yet and this will be a decision i flip flop on a lot i think, because i love my jeep and have put a lot of time, money, blood and sweat into. plus its taken me some pretty cool places so its part of me like many of your Jeeps are to you. I just feel as if Im at a bit of a cross roads with it and the personal side and was just wondering what people had to say, maybe ideas or just thoughts on the subject matter. Thanks in advance!
