Fits perfectly rear-facing in our truck, which has a slightly smaller back seats. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkx6_FKRYB2ClSPRyjcd8HptiCS3EiQoNX4 Feels as comfy and plush as our Graco Contender carseat
Dude! I’ve been waiting for this video exactly. I drive the same 2 door same color JK rubicon and was considering exactly your vehicle as an upgrade. No one does the rear space area on the JL like you just did. Very much appreciated! Enjoy!
Finally got my JL Rubicon 2dr with soft top in the turbo 4cyl setup....took nearly 8 weeks to arrive from the time I placed my order at the dealer. Loving this thing. Fun to drive, over engineered beast for when the roads end, but totally fine on the asphalt when driving to and from work as a daily vehicle. I’ve driven it to and from work for a week now, and have no complaints. Sure, it doesn’t drive like a CAR, more like a truck that has the aerodynamics of a brick. But that being said, like you said in this video, if you know what you’re getting into, then no complaints at all. Fun to also get the Jeep wave from other jeepers, sorta like being a member of a club. First thing I did when I got mine, was rolled down the soft top, and installed a bikini top from spiderwebshade....now I get the open air experience everyday, but with shade from the brutal SoCal sun. Good times
My boyfriend has he hooked on his 2 door manual transmission JL and now I'm even more hooked! I'm so glad you showed us how to get the seats out because I thought it was more complicated than that. Also I drive an equinox and being in his JL is honestly not really a difference. The only time it was harsh was when we got the Jeep muddy and it had dried on the wheels.
Thanks for the video. If you want more space buy a 4 door, but you’ll be giving up some fun. Because 2 doors have better acceleration, handling and cooler vibe.
Nice review. I had a 2012 two door JK and at that time me and wife had no kids so it was fine, but a 2 years after we had our first baby. Now that was a challenge, but we manage, since we are in good physical condition, young I was able to put the carseat and take it off. Now the stroller we had to try a few models until we found one that fitted on the trunk and it was our only vehicle at the time, but after 3 years we had our second baby girl and that's when we had to say good bye. My advice, is get a family crossover and then get a two door once your kids dont need a rear facing carseat, since my wife had to move forward to accommodate. Also remember, a two door is like $3500 cheaper than a four door.
Thanks for this video. I've got a 2018 JL Sahara that I love, but I I wanted the smaller 2 door, and just didn't really know how much space I'd lose. Since it's just me and my son (single parent) and I really don't haul anything around, this video let me know that there's nothing keeping me from dumping my 2018 and getting a 2020 2 door. Thanks for the time and thought you put into this - you showcased the 2 door and space very well.
Thanks for showing the detail on the back seat and how to take it out. I had been looking for that and hadn't found it. I've been looking at the 2dr ones and I keep coming back to your videos!
This was exactly the video I needed to see before pulling the trigger on my Jeep purchase. Was planning on a four-door, until I thought, maybe you can take out the rear seats, which solves everything. So I found this video and it answered all my questions, and more. Great job. Thanks.
I have a 2018 Jeep Jk 2 door, I have a wife, 1 car seat in the back and typically fit my German shep. and a pitbull in the back seat as well with no problem. I love my jeep, highly recommend guys
I kinda regret trading-in my 2011 JGC for a 2023 Wrangler 2-dr. I wanted a change based on the different mods you can do, I talked to a few people about road & wind noise but different answers, I took a chance and I love it. Thanks for the video.
Was looking for a video like this. I needed to know how family-friendly it was (families with babies/toddlers.) Sadly a stroller would not fit in that trunk space with a baby/carseat also sitting in the backseat. Thank you! Super helpful!
I've really enjoyed my 2-door Sport so far. I can drive it every day, rock with the freedom panels off more often now (I'm in Texas too, looking forward to summer when I can just leave them off.)
i think you're the only person that knows the rear seats come out. I've seen a ton of vids on the 2dr and you're the only one to nention that feature. great selling point... if the bronco sucks I'm getting a 2dr Jeep.
Glad I could help! I did a updated video going a little more in-depth. Also I think some of the sales people don’t know you can actually remove them haha
Thanks for in info on the back seat removal. I drove a Jeep Wrangler (Earlier additions) for many years and mostly had the backseat out, but it looks like they have made the removal much easier than the Jeeps I owned. I know the 4 door model is more practical in many ways but they just aren't Jeeps to me. But it good they came out with the 4 door because it is saving the brand because it is what is selling.
Hiker SanDiego The back seat is definitely not super hard to release. Buts it’s a little awkward to get out. And it’s definitely more practical than the older jeeps. Thanks for watching!
With the exception of the color (I want white) this is my dream car, including the 6 spd MT. Rubicons with 2 doors, MT and body color hard tops are literally impossible to find at the dealership, so I will be ordering a 2021 this month. This is a fantastic video and answered many of my questions. Thank you.
Jennifer Harris Glad I could help! And that’s exactly what I did took about 2 months to come and and it’s cool because then the window sticker will have your name on it 👍🏻
I’ve been daily driving a Jeep 2 door soft top for 20 years. No issues, picking up my new JL on Saturday. Get the 2 door then you have the excuse honey let’s just take your car the kids won’t fit in a 2 door Jeep! Nice vid
Wow I have the 2dr and had no idea the back seats came out or with that much ease. I wanted you to go into taking the doors off. By far best video that showed me what I wanted to know about my 2door.
A Great review I bought a new 2019 Wrangler JL 2 door in march 2020 not needing a lot of room for people removed the rear seat so I have adequate storage for camping and hunting gear with one other person. Get 21 mpg yes it is rough riding on a windy day and notice I am constantly cleaning the windshield from insects but It drives nice and seems very comfortable on the highway for city driving But this is not for everyone it is an off road vehicle
Awesome, thanks so much for highlighting this in a video. Currently waiting on my 2 door JL - only a matter of days now. I'm told very few have actually made it to Australian shores. I didn't want a 4 door - because why would you? - but I do want to be able to take my two large-ish dogs out. Being able to see how to remove the back seats, and how easy it is, put this vid next level! Cheers.🤙
@@nadiaciardullo6785 I either remove the rear bench seat or just tumble it forward. I have a purpose-made mat that fits the storage area and hooks onto the forward seat head rests, for the dogs to sit on. They don't need to be belted in... They like to move about a little and look out the windows!
Hey Cody, This review was perfect for my situation right now! I have a loaner 2dr right now for my 4dr 20'JL which has had nothing but issues. Until tonight, I was really concerned about the lack of space, since I hate moving up the seats to access the back row which is a pain for putting in my tools. You saved me a minute or two now on every haul so much appreciated! Keep enjoying the rubi!
@@drivenmad2089 question for you, I see you don't have headliner. Do you regret not getting it? I am in CA and I am not sure $498 factory install is worth it..
andy I actually do use it haha I’ve got a dirt bike and a motorcycle carrier that I mount to it. Or I’ll take a trailer if my dad takes his dirt bike too. So for me the hitch is useful 👍🏻
I had a two door JK but the lack of space with the seat up was comical, I've been debating a JLU but I think the extra couple inches of depth and the sub being moved to the floor might have swayed me back to a two door. Thanks for showing the helmet for scale!
Plan on buying my first Jeep very soon: Sport, 2 door hardtop with manual shifter. The many videos out there are fun and informative. Thanks for "telling it like it is."
Thanks for the video. I have a 2 door 2016 (special ordered and got Oct 2015). I have the premium soft top and manual. I wasn’t going to go to a JL, but now that they announced the Willy’s, I’m seriously considering. I’ve got on long road trips and it’s fine. I rarely have the back seat in. My biggest question remaining has to do with the soft top. It doesn’t look like you can roll up the windows for storage like on mine. If you have to lay the windows flat, that takes “all” your space in the back.
Thank you for showing me taking out the backseat because I have two German Shepherd’s and if I put a comfortable sleeping pad W room for them to have a good day
It is super simple to take the back seat out of a two door. I have a new sport. First weekend I had it we had a church picnic. I took the back seat out. Lots of space. Not like a van or a pickup but enough. A jeep can do lots
If you are worried about noise, wind, or working on your vehicle dont buy a wrangler. If you want a really fun convertible that you can go off road, get a 2 door soft top, take out rear seat, sides and enjoy Safari mode (the best open air solution you can buy), its like having a small 2 door pickup truck. I avoided the stereo with the subwoofer (recovery straps and tools go in cubby, not speakers), and then put in weathertech rear full cargo liner. I have 2 big boxers that fit no problem.
Thanks a lot man for this vids and reviews. That give us a good idea of what we will into. Defently that’s what I want, just waiting a little more for a best moment.
Excellent observations that will impact my decision to buy one. Would forego the NAV with sound system upgrade, because the dust 'n' dirt collecting woofer is absolutely unacceptable, not to mention losing that handy bit of storage space. Surprised the hood "vents" were for looks, only. Had guessed they were to actually help cool the engine compartment. Only, yesterday, noticed the side vents were functional when viewing FCA's Wrangler production plant video. Good to be aware of the slightly smaller gas tank. Still strongly considering a 2-door 2019 Wrangler Rubicon, though. Glad to learn of your valuable critical pointers, *before* making a purchase. Had intended to take out the back seat, nice to know they are relatively easy to remove. Thanks for the helpful video.
Pro Blu thanks for watching man! I love my 2 door. I’m glad I went with it instead of the 4 door. Don’t need the extra space since I don’t have kids and I like that it feels a bit more nimble on the trails. All in all, the JL is an awesome vehicle. 👍🏻
@@drivenmad2089 Primary reason for choosing a 2-door over a 4-door is a much better breakover clearance and nimbleness on trails. My alternate in lieu of Uconnect NAV: Garmin is soon to release a fantastic overlanding GPS, with many super features, including pitch 'n' roll page, plus I can easily carry it for use away from my Jeep.
I'd kill silence when driving my JK 4-door wrangler..dang light bars and spot lights though..finally order some silencers so let's hope they reduce the whistling..significantly
Very informative! I’ve owned a JK and now this JL, both 4-doors. Been wanting to get into a 2-door after my lease is up. Incidentally, am I the only one watching this video getting terribly motion-sick??? Seriously feel like barfing right now!🤢🤢🤢
@@drivenmad2089 I ordered 2 dr. JL , manual , stock steel rims with all terrain tire upgrade which automatically includes the rear differential lock and then I asked for tinting of the hard top. and of course AC which unfortunately is an extra too. I wish I had option to pick better rims but it is not offered in the basic sport model. I think the first modification will be removal of those plastic covers that connect the ends of front bumper with the fenders. I am not even sure why they bothered with that [ fuel efficiency perhaps? ]. After I toss the redundant plastics away it will show the tire from the frontal view just like Rubicon . It's all about $$$ but I am happy with what I have. : )You should do more reviews man, you are really good.
Kluk Ztopolovky Sounds sweet man! And as long as your happy that’s all that matters dude! And I think they did do that for fuel economy. And I appreciate it! Means a lot
Recently bought a 2dr jk just looks better than 4d imo plus better parking maneuvering saves garage space lighter top etc and cheaper - wish the back seats were split and removable one section or both
Good video. My hearts set on the 2 door but my brain knows the 4 door makes more sense. If I can find a good deal on a JL 2 door Rubicon then I may convince myself to follow that route. Have had a 2 door TJ and 4 door JK. The JK with 35s rode way better than the TJ with 32s but I was more attached to the 2 door TJ. Your videos are definitely helping me with my decision. Thanks!
Keys Collector I can understand that dilemma. I love my 2 door dude and I’m super happy I went that route. It’s really just down to is it your only vehicle, who are you going to carry (kids, dogs, etc) I did a 2 hour trip with someone in the back who was about 5FT 11 and they didn’t complain once. Hope you can get into one soon man! Thanks for watching!
I got the 2 door and I love it. My wife and I take it everywhere, road trips, offroading, camping, beach, hiking, kayaking, mountain biking, etc... A year after I bought it my wife gets pregnant... I was gonna sell it and get a 4 door, tested the 4 door and hated it. Fuck it I just bought a Camry for my wife and kept the 2 door. ordered a roof rack for the 2 door and should be good. If I get a second kid Ill just buy a nice hiker trailer camper. The two door can tow some decent weight compared to any compact SUV. 2 door forever, no school bus for me. till I get a third little demon.
eda Congrats on the kid dude! And yeah man people don’t realize that the 2 doors are decently practical. I can comfortably fit 3 other people in the Jeep and they don’t feel cramped. Thanks for watching!
I think I'd buy a twin turbo bronco if I had the money. I got an 07 wrangler jk. Visibly It's in great shape, 3 inch lift, 33's etc.. Just rough on gas, wouldn't take it on the highway etc. The things a bit of a money pit to be honest. It looks nice, turns heads every where I go.. Constantly told it's nice while pumping gas etc.. 20 something hotties seem to like it for some reason and I just chuckle when I think about them actually driving it because it is way rougher than any other vehicle I have driven over the years. It looks good but I don't think I'd buy another one.. I know it's an 07 but it was never winter driven till I bought it so it looks like it's a about 4 years old body wise with 100k km on it. I think all the parts are mostly original since the elderly couple never really drove it for 16 years just summer driven so all the common parts like battery, alternator, water pump etc misc parts like that are all original. I had to redo the whole front end, new brakes, rotors all around, new battery, brand new falken wildpeak at3 33's etc. It's got some weird issues here and there with starting.. I think it has something to do with the parking relay or something. Perhaps the starter is starting to go. Personally, I wouldn't buy another one brand new or older model.. It's more for someone who likes to tinker with shit in the garage and my busted spine doesn't allow for that crap anymore so it's all out of pocket at the mechanics.I think the last mechanic might have even swapped some parts off mine for his kids I don't know.. It's now making some weird whirring noise when slowing down.. Sounds like the transmission or axle or some shit. It kind of sounds like an old army jeep but not quite as bad.. The thing is, it's an automatic.. So I don't know wtf is the deal.. It's probably on borrowed time for all I know, just waiting on the next thing to break on it.
Would you mind on doing a video on how you actually go about ordering a vehicle and how long and where it gets delivered and how that financing with that dealership kinda works or is it all handled through the Jeep website? I've always just went to a dealership and looked at their stock and went from there.
Del Fields it’s actually super easy. I built it online how exactly how I wanted it, then printed that out, took it to my dealer and said “I want this, order it” haha and they put the order in, I left a deposit, then 6-8weeks later it shows up at the dealership. Then the process is just as if it was originally at the dealership. 👍🏻 thanks for watching man, hope that helped!
Good video ! Didn’t realize that the backseat was that easy to remove. One other question though is there anyway to stop the backseat from flopping back and forth when it is folded back ? Seems there would have a tie down point from the seat flop. At times I would have cargo in the back and the seat folded back. On
It actually does have tie down straps to keep them in place! I made a updated video and if my memory serves me right I talked about that. Thanks for watching!
Nice video but have another issue the back seat when folded forward does not swing up towards the back if the front seats. What you show it swings easily up, mine seems locked down. Nothing in manual so looked here. Not helping me but still a good video for seats that work
please create an Instagram account. or if you have one dedicated to the driving and offroading of your vehicle then link it. I haven't seen anyone else with a two door jl and as someone who has his eyes on this exact model I would greatly appreciate it. thanks for the reviews, walk arounds, and feedback because this is really encouraging.
Fits perfectly rear-facing in our truck, which has a slightly smaller back seats. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkx6_FKRYB2ClSPRyjcd8HptiCS3EiQoNX4 Feels as comfy and plush as our Graco Contender carseat
By far the best 2 door JL review on UA-cam.
Thomas B thanks man I appreciate that! Thanks for watching!
Thanks for taking the back seats out and giving us a look at that. That's exactly what I'd do if/when I buy a 2 door Rubicon.
Second that
Me too.
Are anyone of you guys selling the back seats
same here
@@illest_street_cars1907 are you looking for one?

I was very concerned about dirt bike helmet storage. I'm glad someone finally did that.
I had a four door Jeep about 10 years ago and just got a two door yesterday. The two door is just more fun and looks so much better.
I have zero backseat space, first thing i did was pull the rear seat out for more cargo space.
How much space after removing the back seat?
Had a JK & liked it a lot. Bought a JLU, because I need more interior space. Depends on whether you have kids or more than 1 passenger frequently.
Thank you in particular for showing the space. I have ordered one and can hardly wait!

joezephyr no problem man! Congrats on the order! Thanks for watching!

THANK YOU I have the 2024 JL 2D and I was wondering on how to flip the seats up etc
I wish I didn't have to order one to find a 2 door rubi with a manual. Love yours man!
They’re pretty hard to find. But ordering one is pretty cool because then you can get exactly what you want!
Thanks for watching!
We have the same Jeep :)
Moving soon so it was helpful to know how to remove the backseat. Thanks!
I love my JL Rubicon 2door! It’s great off road, comfortable with the leather interior. I did remove the back seats for more storage.
Thanks for the video. I have a 2 door 2016 (special ordered and got Oct 2015). I have the premium soft top and manual. I wasn’t going to go to a JL, but now that they announced the Willy’s, I’m seriously considering.
I’ve got on long road trips and it’s fine. I rarely have the back seat in.
My biggest question remaining has to do with the soft top. It doesn’t look like you can roll up the windows for storage like on mine. If you have to lay the windows flat, that takes “all” your space in the back.
sdallnct thanks for watching man! I didn’t know that they announced a willys version. That’s pretty sweet 👍🏻
Btw, thx for all your videos & sharing your experiences with us all....keep’em comin brother 👍🏻🤘🏻
sallutz appreciate it man! I’m working on posting more 🤙🏻
Thank you for showing me taking out the backseat because I have two German Shepherd’s and if I put a comfortable sleeping pad W room for them to have a good day
Definitely enough room for the doggos if the rear seats are out!
It is super simple to take the back seat out of a two door. I have a new sport. First weekend I had it we had a church picnic. I took the back seat out. Lots of space. Not like a van or a pickup but enough. A jeep can do lots
thanks for the review, looking to buy a jeep!
Lisett Tapia no problem glad I could help! And you should definitely buy one, they’re awesome.
Thanks for watching!
3:02 good you brought that helmet for measurement
Great Would like to see demo on going to 4 wheel high and low
Thanks Neil
I go over some of that on my video “how to drive a manual off-road”
Thanks for watching
Great content on this channel! I have a 2021 2-door Willys hard top and I do get some good info, especially about off-reading skillz
Thanks man!
2 door is the only way to go. The true Jeep.
If you are worried about noise, wind, or working on your vehicle dont buy a wrangler. If you want a really fun convertible that you can go off road, get a 2 door soft top, take out rear seat, sides and enjoy Safari mode (the best open air solution you can buy), its like having a small 2 door pickup truck.
I avoided the stereo with the subwoofer (recovery straps and tools go in cubby, not speakers), and then put in weathertech rear full cargo liner. I have 2 big boxers that fit no problem.
Thanks a lot man for this vids and reviews. That give us a good idea of what we will into. Defently that’s what I want, just waiting a little more for a best moment.
Abel Luciano no problem man!
Thanks for watching!
👍!! I like your performance ---- thank you !
Excellent observations that will impact my decision to buy one. Would forego the NAV with sound system upgrade, because the dust 'n' dirt collecting woofer is absolutely unacceptable, not to mention losing that handy bit of storage space. Surprised the hood "vents" were for looks, only. Had guessed they were to actually help cool the engine compartment. Only, yesterday, noticed the side vents were functional when viewing FCA's Wrangler production plant video. Good to be aware of the slightly smaller gas tank. Still strongly considering a 2-door 2019 Wrangler Rubicon, though. Glad to learn of your valuable critical pointers, *before* making a purchase. Had intended to take out the back seat, nice to know they are relatively easy to remove. Thanks for the helpful video.
Pro Blu thanks for watching man! I love my 2 door. I’m glad I went with it instead of the 4 door. Don’t need the extra space since I don’t have kids and I like that it feels a bit more nimble on the trails. All in all, the JL is an awesome vehicle. 👍🏻
@@drivenmad2089 Primary reason for choosing a 2-door over a 4-door is a much better breakover clearance and nimbleness on trails. My alternate in lieu of Uconnect NAV: Garmin is soon to release a fantastic overlanding GPS, with many super features, including pitch 'n' roll page, plus I can easily carry it for use away from my Jeep.
Nice vid. You can knock 9-11 dB, off with good headliner kit. Also on 2dr, A/C and Heater, Much more effective, with kit.
Good video, I guess I made the right choice by going for 2 door jeep Willys S same color as yours.
Nice man!
Thanks for watching!
I'd kill silence when driving my JK 4-door wrangler..dang light bars and spot lights though..finally order some silencers so let's hope they reduce the whistling..significantly
Solid consumer advice. Thanks man
Bailey Brewer no problem! Thanks for watching!
Very informative! I’ve owned a JK and now this JL, both 4-doors. Been wanting to get into a 2-door after my lease is up.
Incidentally, am I the only one watching this video getting terribly motion-sick??? Seriously feel like barfing right now!🤢🤢🤢
Andy D glad I could help out dude. Thanks for watching 🤙🏻.
Don’t know about the motion sickness haha
Your video helped once again thanks
Glad it helped
Thanks for watching!
for some reason i don’t have that much space in my 2 door JL....well now when you put your helmet in i really saw.
Took the back seat out and know I have more than enough space for my 2 labradors.
I would also be interested... how do you get them safe? Do use a belt? Or a separation?

nice presentation , thanks, I just ordered mine and now it is the looooong waiting period : )
Kluk Ztopolovky haha I know that feeling! It’s gonna suck but it’ll be worth it when it shows up! What’d you order? Thanks for watching!
@@drivenmad2089 I ordered 2 dr. JL , manual , stock steel rims with all terrain tire upgrade which automatically includes the rear differential lock and then I asked for tinting of the hard top. and of course AC which unfortunately is an extra too. I wish I had option to pick better rims but it is not offered in the basic sport model. I think the first modification will be removal of those plastic covers that connect the ends of front bumper with the fenders. I am not even sure why they bothered with that [ fuel efficiency perhaps? ]. After I toss the redundant plastics away it will show the tire from the frontal view just like Rubicon . It's all about $$$ but I am happy with what I have. : )You should do more reviews man, you are really good.
Kluk Ztopolovky Sounds sweet man! And as long as your happy that’s all that matters dude! And I think they did do that for fuel economy. And I appreciate it! Means a lot
I like the two door look:)
Incredibly helpful video. Thank you so much!
Lucas glad I could help!
Thanks for watching!
This video was SO helpful. Thank you!
Renee Wilson sure thing! Glad I could help. I also did a updated one where I focus a bit more on space if you wanna check it out.
Thanks for watching!
Great video. Got my 2020 two door Rubicon today 😊
Chris Gunter Awesome dude congrats!
Thanks for watching!
Recently bought a 2dr jk just looks better than 4d imo plus better parking maneuvering saves garage space lighter top etc and cheaper - wish the back seats were split and removable one section or both
RyAn Noel I totally agree! It would be cool if the seats were individual!
Thanks for watching!
First thing that I do is remove the back seat..Free up a lot more space. Makes a great dog space, storage for camping gear, etc.
Very good video. Well explained. Thank you.
Jeep Rubicon thanks man appreciate it!
Thanks for the informative video!
waiting for my pay...im getting the 2dr rubicon jl...hopefully soon...im so excited
J.t.R. JP sweet man congrats! I know the feeling. I was super pumped up when mine finally came in!
Thanks for watching!
I’ve got the same Jeep with a premium soft top, 37 inch STT pros and 3.5 inch lift. Love mine. Only complaint is the ESS.
michael cammack sweet man! What lift are you running??
Driven Mad! I got the Rubicon Express 3.5/4.5 with all 8 control arms and track bar. The RE JL shocks are made by RadFlo. It rides really well.
You can fit two car seats no problem. I got a 2door willy no problems
Good video. My hearts set on the 2 door but my brain knows the 4 door makes more sense. If I can find a good deal on a JL 2 door Rubicon then I may convince myself to follow that route. Have had a 2 door TJ and 4 door JK. The JK with 35s rode way better than the TJ with 32s but I was more attached to the 2 door TJ. Your videos are definitely helping me with my decision. Thanks!
Keys Collector I can understand that dilemma. I love my 2 door dude and I’m super happy I went that route. It’s really just down to is it your only vehicle, who are you going to carry (kids, dogs, etc)
I did a 2 hour trip with someone in the back who was about 5FT 11 and they didn’t complain once. Hope you can get into one soon man! Thanks for watching!
I got the 2 door and I love it. My wife and I take it everywhere, road trips, offroading, camping, beach, hiking, kayaking, mountain biking, etc... A year after I bought it my wife gets pregnant... I was gonna sell it and get a 4 door, tested the 4 door and hated it. Fuck it I just bought a Camry for my wife and kept the 2 door. ordered a roof rack for the 2 door and should be good. If I get a second kid Ill just buy a nice hiker trailer camper. The two door can tow some decent weight compared to any compact SUV. 2 door forever, no school bus for me. till I get a third little demon.
eda Congrats on the kid dude! And yeah man people don’t realize that the 2 doors are decently practical. I can comfortably fit 3 other people in the Jeep and they don’t feel cramped.
Thanks for watching!
2-doors or no doors, only way to go
A 2 door is what I want also. And I would remove the backseat so fast.
John Grytbakk I’ve been driving with the back seats out now for about a month 👍🏻
I own a 2018 JK Sport , it's very comfortable...
love ur jeep
sofia garcia yours is still currently cooler than mine 😉
@@drivenmad2089 I like yours
I think I'd buy a twin turbo bronco if I had the money. I got an 07 wrangler jk. Visibly It's in great shape, 3 inch lift, 33's etc.. Just rough on gas, wouldn't take it on the highway etc. The things a bit of a money pit to be honest. It looks nice, turns heads every where I go.. Constantly told it's nice while pumping gas etc.. 20 something hotties seem to like it for some reason and I just chuckle when I think about them actually driving it because it is way rougher than any other vehicle I have driven over the years. It looks good but I don't think I'd buy another one.. I know it's an 07 but it was never winter driven till I bought it so it looks like it's a about 4 years old body wise with 100k km on it. I think all the parts are mostly original since the elderly couple never really drove it for 16 years just summer driven so all the common parts like battery, alternator, water pump etc misc parts like that are all original. I had to redo the whole front end, new brakes, rotors all around, new battery, brand new falken wildpeak at3 33's etc. It's got some weird issues here and there with starting.. I think it has something to do with the parking relay or something. Perhaps the starter is starting to go. Personally, I wouldn't buy another one brand new or older model.. It's more for someone who likes to tinker with shit in the garage and my busted spine doesn't allow for that crap anymore so it's all out of pocket at the mechanics.I think the last mechanic might have even swapped some parts off mine for his kids I don't know.. It's now making some weird whirring noise when slowing down.. Sounds like the transmission or axle or some shit. It kind of sounds like an old army jeep but not quite as bad.. The thing is, it's an automatic.. So I don't know wtf is the deal.. It's probably on borrowed time for all I know, just waiting on the next thing to break on it.
This will probably be the reason I trade mine in when I pay it off it's so small in the back
I was told never to drive around with the seats folded down...take them out all together or leave them in the seating position
@krvnjrcbs they can break n get ruined
Would you mind on doing a video on how you actually go about ordering a vehicle and how long and where it gets delivered and how that financing with that dealership kinda works or is it all handled through the Jeep website? I've always just went to a dealership and looked at their stock and went from there.
Del Fields it’s actually super easy. I built it online how exactly how I wanted it, then printed that out, took it to my dealer and said “I want this, order it” haha and they put the order in, I left a deposit, then 6-8weeks later it shows up at the dealership. Then the process is just as if it was originally at the dealership. 👍🏻 thanks for watching man, hope that helped!
@@drivenmad2089 Very cool 😎👌. Thanks for the info👍
Good video ! Didn’t realize that the backseat was that easy to remove. One other question though is there anyway to stop the backseat from flopping back and forth when it is folded back ? Seems there would have a tie down point from the seat flop. At times I would have cargo in the back and the seat folded back. On
It actually does have tie down straps to keep them in place! I made a updated video and if my memory serves me right I talked about that.
Thanks for watching!
Nice video but have another issue the back seat when folded forward does not swing up towards the back if the front seats. What you show it swings easily up, mine seems locked down. Nothing in manual so looked here. Not helping me but still a good video for seats that work
Thanks for your time ! ;) Do you think you could do the same video with a JL 4 door to compare ?
please create an Instagram account. or if you have one dedicated to the driving and offroading of your vehicle then link it. I haven't seen anyone else with a two door jl and as someone who has his eyes on this exact model I would greatly appreciate it. thanks for the reviews, walk arounds, and feedback because this is really encouraging.
Steven Lluberes I do have one actually haha I just haven’t linked it. It’s @driven_mad
