Power windows may have only been available as part of a convenience package. $$$$$Good to a see a real 2 door Wrangler instead of all those 4 door mall crawlers around here. I'm all for retro, but I wouldn't buy any car that I'm ordering from scratch, without power windows. I'll leave out the radio over PWs.

Around here, most 4-door Wranglers are driven by soccer moms and used to drop kids off to school and go shopping. I know they are capable but about the only time they get off a paved road is at the farmers market gravel parking lot.Mall crawlers based on the number of doors ? … my JLU Rubicon is very capable off-road … heading for the peninsula today
We do lots of short trips to town in the JLU … even the 4 door turns on a dime in parking lots etc …Around here, most 4-door Wranglers are driven by soccer moms and used to drop kids off to school and go shopping.

I have a JK Rubicon, but I'm afraid to call it a real 2 door Wrangler. That might ruffle some feathers, however I do agree with you!Good to a see a real 2 door Wrangler instead of all those 4 door mall crawlers around here.

Same here.many are lifted with other kids. Never been on the street except for parking in the dirt at the farmers market. Even worse are the 2wd wranglers...why? Just why?Around here, most 4-door Wranglers are driven by soccer moms and used to drop kids off to school and go shopping.

Yep, I'm in 2 Jeep clubs that have hundreds of owners who go off road frequently. My Jeeps have been to Moab and Colorado several times, and all over the midwest and southeast. Too many places to list or even remember them all.Mall crawlers based on the number of doors ? … my JLU Rubicon is very capable off-road … heading for the peninsula today
Daughter ordered the 4 door sport in sarge green last month. Hasn't come in yet. Love that color of yours.Wife's new toy arrived; Wrangler Sport 6 speed manual, manual lights and wind up windows. Only options are A/C and A/T tires. Knew I liked her 8 week wait.
Fun car, bit crude, but that adds to the fun. It is what it is.
Pro's
Its an open top Wrangler and there is nothing else like it new...
Ride isn't bad, a little hobby horse pitching, but not harsh
Top is about as simple as it can be, still fiddly
Interior material quality is much better than I expected
This car exists for things like beach permits
Transmission has a great feel, precise, short throws
Con's...irritants more than complaints
Feels caged in w/ the... beefy cage a modern necessity..lucky we can even have a new open 4 wheeler
Clutch is way too light w/ no feel...catering to the college girl crowd, they buy a lot of 'em
Reverse lockout is in a bad spot; right where your fingers wrap over the gear knob
Gauge illumination defaults to bright when you turn off car..maybe able to be changed, need to look into it
Summary; FUN
Have to remember it is her car and not go out and add my touches...but it needs fogs, E Codes....
