How To Choose The Right Jeep For Off-Roading - Wrangler JK 2 Door vs 4 Door Off-Road Comparison

[@extremeterrain]

2 door or 4 door? Which Jeep Wrangler do you prefer and why?

[@AaronBernier_]

ExtremeTerrain.com I love this vid

[@Soulofjazzman]

4 door. love the space! :)

[@AaronBernier_]

ExtremeTerrain.com I would rather have the 4 door and put armor on it cause I would like to go off Roading with my buddies . And if I have and children there would be room for them .

[@AaronBernier_]

ExtremeTerrain.com but honesty if I could I would have both

[@tbex8606]

I love my 2 door. That being said, after wheeling with many many 4 doors, I want one. The extra room is great and if properly built with a good driver they'll go anywhere a 2 door will and even up some taller obstacles as that wheel base helps from tipping. My next jeep will probably be a 4 door.

[@Ferda1964]

Most of people driving the 4 dr. would do just as well in the 2 dr. 99% of the time . I picked the 2 dr. , it is so much easier to park in a big city and easier to get through rough narrow trails. 2 dr. is less expensive , sucks less gas and has an original Jeep look. I give two thumbs up to the 2 door legend.

[@extremeterrain]

I love my two door! And you're 100% correct, for most people 99% of the time a four door would do just fine off-roading with a lift and some nice tires. That break-over angle is a godsend when needed though. -Zach

[@Ben-sv9op]

You could sleep in the 4 door camping

[@IskateUphill]

2 thumbs for 2 doors eh I see what you did there

[@pfarraldcash6095]

The 4 doors can climb better because of the wheelbase

[@txgamer1347]

I've had my 2 door JK for almost 6 years now, and when wheeling side by side next to a buddy's 4 door, it definitely does better on the trail. However, with my Jeep also being my daily driver, there are MANY times I wish I had the 4 door to haul people and cargo better. So my two cents is buy the 4 door if you do more daily driving, and buy the 2 door if you do more off-roading

[@RickZackExploreOffroad]

I'm am just the opposite. Because of my off road use I needed the 4 door. Just water for 4-5 days would fill the back of the 2 door. Add food, camping kit, photography gear, the rifle and dog I'm maxing out the JKU! :)

[@HeartAE86]

You get on some bigger rocks an steeper inclines, you will see that the 4 door does better then the 2 door. It's all in what obstacle/terrain you have

[@jamescox2575]

Buy a pickup trick for DD, buya two door jeep for off-pavement.

[@jamescox2575]

Nope. THAT'S what the 4WD pickup trucks are for. Jeeps should be two-door, for lighter camping scenarios in harder to reach places. ACTUAL hard core camping is rucking it in anyway, so...

[@ironberserk2175]

@@HeartAE86 Exactly, the higher height & short length of the 2-door, especially with a lift/bigger tires has an increased flip over rate compared to the 4-door.

[@themrwinston9570]

The correct answer is TJ.

[@extremeterrain]

Definitely hard to knock a TJ! -Zach

[@jordanclements8178]

I love my jk 2 door. It's stock, but I have bfg at tires. I get the gas mileage I wanted, and the off road capability I wanted. Perfect.

[@lucifer0001]

The gas tank on the 4 door is bigger. The 2 door's gas mileage is almost the same. The 4 door has a better ride. Way better for traveling.

[@coejbee]

I'm only 18 seconds into this but ya'll are literally Extreme Terrain, how does that 2 door not have rock sliders lol.

[@eightosaurusspelunk1598]

Two door. I didn't realize that was even something anyone questioned...

[@jeepcollector91]

At 5:20 in this video you show why I never wheel with my hardtop on my Jeep. Too easy to destroy offroad. I just use a cheap Bestop Bikini top to keep the rain and snow off of me... I usually leave the full doors at home as well and run some cheap half doors that I don't care too much about damaging.

[@Offshore1977]

I own a 2 door my dad a 4 door. Love my classic look and the way it looks. But his 4 door drives WAYYY better on the road which is where we drive most of the time.

[@lvmybears]

Good job slamming both hardtops on that tree.Yur a good driver

[@tylerboyer3904]

go easy on him😏😏he's terrible..but he got the heart...we all the same man

[@VuePianist]

Now this is a real put to the test. I hate those reviews where they claim off road but all they do is drive through mud and flat surface off road. You guys really know how to do a review off road keep up the good work.

[@jwat2396]

They both have their + & - but I've always liked the 2 door and I can add things like a roof rack and so on. I don't do anything like this alone so there are other vehicles we can use for hauling more stuff. If you've got a ton of stuff you're not camping your moving. If you need that much stuff to camp try a 4×4 pickup. But because it's long you might just need to find an easier trail to camp. Or lift kits for all.

[@Bleeper168]

I recently bought a 2008 jeep rubicon 3.8l V6 manual 2 door and watching this really makes me feel better about my purchase. Thank you guys for making me feel like I don't have buyer's remorse.

[@oobleszgoobles2767]

2 door for sure, for the added capability, (especially out here in the woods of the Northeast). I'm sure the 4 door is a nice luxury on road for the extra space / passenger room / ride comfort, but that's not why I bought a Jeep - (in my experience, and the vid shows that difference pretty well). Wheel what u got though - and have fun ;)

[@RickZackExploreOffroad]

I bought a Jeep more for overlanding vice day trips. The 2 door wouldn't work for me.

[@oobleszgoobles2767]

Rick & Zack Explore Offroad - Hey Rick. I checked out a few of your vids, (very well done, by the way - looks pro. I'm lucky to remember to stick the GoPro to the windshield most of the time!). Actually brings back memories.....I spent about a decade living in NV and enjoyed the off road experience there. Miles and miles of overland trails......what freedom - just pick a direction, (I kinda used the Zach method - not much planning, lol). I now live back where I grew up, in New England, where IMHO, the 2 door edges out the 4 door, (my wife and I have no issues with packing enough gear for weekend camping trips, (first thing I did was to remove the rear seat, lol), and I've been thankful of the tight wheelbase and break over angle advantage quite a few times on tight trails). Gotta admit.....it's not all utilitarian....some % of my desire to own the 2 door is nostalgic as well. The look / feel is iconic......everything I remember my Jeeps being in the past, but better. Enjoy - and be safe...

[@RickZackExploreOffroad]

Thanks for the compliment, and Zack is telling me "I told you so" :) I had a navy buddy from MA, spent some time up there back in the day. Beautiful country. I am planning on removing the 60 part of the 60/40 split rear seat. Plan on some sort of box to hold water containers, low and centered. Even the JKU rapidly runs out of space.

[@Bigcheese2321]

How to decide which Jeep to buy for off-road..... buy a tj

[@Wooskii1]

I also think what tire size/ how extreme you plan to build is a huge factor. That 2 door looked great with 35s but they looked small on the 4 door. So 35s or under I would go with the 2 door, but if I was doing something like swapping axles to D60s and running 40s and a taller lift... 4 door all the way. just my $.02

[@smokingbean]

I think both have some advantages over each other in different ways but part of being out on the trails is going to be picking the right line that best suits your rig. As for me 4 doors for the extra room and the usage that I get for myself is the way to go

[@1111Overland]

Would like to have seen an example of how a longer wheelbase of the 4 door can actually benefit you sometimes.

[@justinsnyder6881]

Jeremy McLerran Teraflex has a good example watch there how to choose a lift or something like that

[@jaymanxxxx]

4 doors have an easier time climbing up a 6 foot ledge then a 2 door.

[@mlwilliam213]

It’s so subjective. 2 door is slightly better for off-roading, but are you really gonna be doing things that are extreme enough to matter? Four door is a better ride, but that only matters if the 2 door ride actually bothers you. Do you need the extra space? Some do, some don’t. People complain about the “daily driver” qualities of Jeeps in general. I’ve had a TJ, a JK, and now a JL and I’ve never really had any complaints about any aside from when my kids were in the back of the TJ 2 door, you couldn’t really put much of anything back there. Is the ride quality as good as an suv? No, but I don’t care about that. It’s fine for me.

[@loenigma69]

I think I'll be trying a 4 door despite the break-over angle. I need the extra space. My old 2 door was not great for camping, even for two people it was a tight squeeze.

[@ortiz73caify]

I agree that a 4door has less of a break over angle but I think you fail to show the 2dr weakness on steep inclines. They both have there pluses and minuses.

[@HeartAE86]

Albert Ortiz exactly , the obstacles they chose are very 2 door biased. They are at rausch creek off-road park. I can think of a couple obstacles on some of the red trails wear the four door shines an the 2 doors fail

[@ortiz73caify]

HeartAE86 I live out West and at a place like Moab or the Rubicon Trail on steep inclines 2dr Jeeps will roll back because they lack the wheel base. With a 4dr I can always lift it more to increase the break over angle. Don’t get me wrong I like both but prefer the 4dr for all the other advantages it gives you. There’s a reason the 4dr Out sells the 2dr.

[@brandonbouchez7195]

Albert Ortiz probably because a lot of people that buy them don't even off road them and they want the extra space?

[@ortiz73caify]

Brandon Bouchez no not really you look at the guys from WAYALIFE and the majority have 4drs. And most of the wheeling I see with Jeeps is in a 4dr.

[@brandonbouchez7195]

Albert Ortiz ehhh, to each their own! I personally can't bring myself to get a 4d, jeeps are and always will be 2 doors to me. If I needed a longer wheelbase id prefer a truck

[@fr4nz51]

In my opinion, the 2 door will be the best if it is really ment to take it on the trails all day because it is shorter and more easy to turn, and 4 door will be the best if it is ment to take it on the roads and sometimes on the trails because it has a longer space inside for passengers

[@AntRocker]

2 door since 1941 always

[@sofiaxu3916]

Vernon Miller 👍

[@zephyr5802]

Couldn’t agree more

[@romansteinbrenner]

do you camp / sleep in a 2 doors? I wang the 2 door but for overnights the 4 door ist so much bretter or?

[@sscbkr48]

For wheeling.. 2 door. Sleeping inside.. 4 door! I've been trying to improve my JK 2 dr 2 person elevated sleeper which works pretty good and I'm 6-2. The sleeping height is only 20" thanks to the sound bar. My remaining challenge.. modify it for more interior height.. better yet, get it right out of the way as in saw the effing thing off!

[@jeffrentsch4318]

I prefer the 2 door. I have a 1995 YJ Rio and a 2014 Rubicon both 2 door. Test drove a Rubicon unlimited when I bought the 2 door, 4 door felt like a floating work truck. Currently building a 1982 K10 long bed for long wheelbase.

[@kenmunoz8517]

Great SxS comparison! I think the answer would be that all of us should have both😊 Solo Jeepin’ or family Jeepin’ whichever situation applies. Driveway full of Jeeps?... I see no problem😀

[@jeepchronicles5644]

I’ve had both, ended up sticking with my JKUR. Just overall better than my TJ. More space, better ride feel, still performs on the trail

[@allenw969]

I did a lot of off road exploring in a 1975 GMC Sierra K-15 2-door pickup with a short bed, in the High Desert and the Eastern Sierra in California. (I never heard the term overlanding back then, but that is what it seems to be called now.) The wheelbase was 115 inches, much shorter than a modern 4 door pickup, and 3 inches shorter than a current Jeep Wrangler 4-door and 18 inches longer than the Jeep 2-door. So it was perhaps comparable to off roading the 4-door Jeep in some ways, but of course due to the narrower width it would have been easier with the 4-door Jeep in spots where I could barely fit the Sierra between the trees. But the Jeep 2-door would been good in situations where it was necessary to turn around on a tight trail. I don’t have a spec for the turning radius of the Sierra, but it was very short for a full size pickup. I would assume the Jeep 2-door is a much tighter turning radius, and perhaps the Jeep 4-door is shorter also. As for the Jeep Gladiator, it’s wheelbase is 22 inches longer than the Sierra was, so what advantage it’s narrower width offered over the Sierra would be more than offset by the long wheelbase.

[@vertisce2845]

It really depends on the obstacle. A 4 Door will sometimes have the advantage due to its longer wheel base but a 2 Door more often than not has the advantage.

[@RickZackExploreOffroad]

I agree generally speaking that the maneuverability of the JK is better. However there are situations where the longer wheelbase of the JKU is an advantage. To me it was down to how I intended to use it. I could not carry enough supplies in the 2 door for even a short trip of 3-4 days. The Unlimited had to be the choice.

[@zephyr5802]

Are you packing your house? In my two door I just pop out the back seat and there is enough room for almost a weeks worth of stuff (if packed correctly) and I can still use my center rear mirror. Looking to get a roof rack though so I don’t have to strategically place every single little thing. It’s also worth it to know that I only pack for myself, the other people I camp with carry their own stuff. I will agree though that for multiple people the 2 door will not work, it’s simply too small. But even then though on a roof rack and you can add one more persons worth of stuff to the vehicle.

[@blacksuan1]

Did the 2 door have lockers? Looked like a stick to me. Stock 3:21 gearing?? Lmk please this vid is rad

[@moedog5087]

Anyone else notice the rub bars on the JKU seemed loose? They flexed a lot. Is that normal? Or a word about the strength of their products?

[@bennyboy6851]

Having installed multiple sets of sliders/running boards, they aren’t supposed to flex like that unless it’s a design built into these specific sliders. Not saying these shouldn’t but I’ve never seen any that do because of how they mount to the vehicle

[@yovalgo1]

Just got a 2 door JK 2015, I have no family, friends have their own cars, I like the look and feel of the 2 door and I feel its safer to start off roading in as a newbie

[@TheBoxAssembler]

You guys should do a vid illustrating the differences between wheeling a standard vs an automatic, I'm guessing the 2 door was a standard since it looks just like when I wheel mine.

[@RickZackExploreOffroad]

TheBoxAssembler Excellent suggestion :)

[@street_legal_go_kart7356]

Auto does better has for long time . Ironically is Many manual guys claim to have more Control auto actually gives more control off road. There's a reason most rock crawlers and rock bouncers run Auto.

[@tylorhughes4484]

I love my 2 door, being only ever me and rarely a passenger. It's really all the size I need, that being said I want to get into overlanding. It would be nicer having more space for storage and Id love an ersa minor camper top if only they made one for the 2 door. But I do want to make my 2 door into an awesome little overland rig.

[@lucifer0001]

Your 2 door should hold a roof rack & a roof top tent with a low profile plastic shell. If that's not in your budget buy a regular dome tent or a tent that ties to a few trees to keep you off the ground & out of the mud if it rains.

[@CHMernerner]

2 doors are feel authentic and natural, look beautiful especially if it opened top. and You know that breakover-angle is.... very important

[@alexkrayo4694]

That off-road park is awesome. It's name is Rausch Creek for those of you who are wondering.

[@jackhook4192]

2 door looks better has a smaller turning radius shorter wheel base.in some cases off road the 4 doors model works better because of its longer wheel base.and if u have passengers the 4 doors hands down easier access to the back seats for passengers and gear and more room for storage. So it your own preference. There's nothing like a jeep period.

[@extremeterrain]

Not a bad way to put it, Jack. Thanks for watching! -Zach

[@smalltownMainer]

2 dr looks better for sure, also i like the color.

[@co4x4]

For the people that are new to Jeeps watching this I wanted to add that the "Rubicon" version of these Jeeps would do even better than what you see in the videos, and the reason for that is that the "Rubicon" has what's called "lockers". These "lockers" will get all 4 of your wheels turning simoutinausly which will get you over those obstacles with a bit more ease and less effort.

[@RickZackExploreOffroad]

I've had a 2dr Jk, a 4dr JKUR, and now a 97 TJ Sahara ... the 4dr rubicon was the most difficult to wheel and you have to lift it higher to do the same obstacles ... wheel base benefit on east coat isn't worth it imo from a strictly wheeling perspective

[@rhettsetzer3193]

There is only 1 choice. 2 doors. The other is just another SUV

[@user-fo8lz6om7l]

God, those ending shots were sick.

[@lucifer0001]

Four door only! If your Jeep is driven on the road every day like most people do the four door is your best choice. It doesn't buck on the highway. The four door rides way better. Plenty of room. Why do you think that they out sell the two door? The four door climbs steep grades better as well. I saw a video on UYUBE that showed one four door & one two door Wrangler & two four door Toyota FJ Cruisers climb a dirt hill. All the four doors made it but the two door was unable to even start the hill. All it did was spin at the bottom. All had large tires on them. My wife & I absolutely love our 2020 JLU-R. What a difference compared with the 2016 JKU-S that we used to own. The 2020 JLU-R even rides better.

[@extremeterrain]

To be fair, 2-Doors don't ride awful if you have their suspensions set up right! I've been daily driving a JL 2-Door for the last 3 years without many issues, it road even better when I lifted it honestly! If you plan on having passengers though and think you can use the extra space, you *really* need to go for the 4-Door. The pros of added space and smoother ride will always blow away the added off-road performance of the 2-Door. -Zach

[@germanstein]

I will always favor the 2 door. it looks way better, its amazing, if set up well itll drive down the highway just fine too. Hell of a vehicle.

[@jacqueline5064]

Do you recommend a manual or automatic transmission on the 2020 wrangler?

[@extremeterrain]

All comes down to personal preference! I recommend test driving both to see which you prefer better, honestly. The automatics come with a "manual mode" too, where you can control what gear your Jeep stays in if you want more control. If you plan on installing larger tires down the line, the automatic transmission will be able to handle them better without needed to re-gear right away FYI. Hope this helps! -Zach

In the old days I say standards but the automatics today are much better.

I went 2dr for mostly economic reasons, but I also like the maneuverability. If the 4dr was the same price, I would probably have a 4dr. However, my goal is to have one of each. Even solo camping, I run out of space in the 2dr with the back seat removed. :(

Sweet ! You running the standard front axle on the maroon 2-door or is it upgraded to the 44 ? Couldn't quite tell. I'm in the market and wondering if the smaller one is OK for 35's for mild-moderate trail use.. nothing too wild.

[@extremeterrain]

Both are on stock axles! So the 2-Door has a 30 in the front and 35 in the, I beleive. The 4-Door Sahara has a 44 in the rear. Honestly if all you're planning on is daily driving and mild trails, off-road paths or overlanding I wouldn't worry about swapping axles. Once you start doing more moderate trails and rock crawling though, you do want to consider beefing up your axles to help with the larger tires. -Zach

@@extremeterrain Sweet. Thanks..and I may even just do 33's on it.. to keep it simple and not lose too much power. I def dont want to spend to regear. thx!

Can you tell us what skid plate you have on that JKU?

[@justinprichard5329]

This guy is the definition of when in doubt throttle out. In the west coast you’d be laughed at. This isn’t rock crawling he’s not picking good lines just trying every spot with slot of gas and praying he makes it

This may be a silly question, but what year or model is the best for the 2 door? Does it matter? I'm looking to buy one to go off roading and haul my camper ( 2,500 lbs) cross country, so I would need it to be automatic, but I know that's not standard for quite a few years. Thanks!!

[@rey5597]

I don’t think it matters what year but the 4 door would do better towing cross country. I think the two door tops out at 2500 towing for stability reasons. The JL (newest wrangler model) which came out in 2018 has an 8 speed automatic which may be beneficial for towing.

Here's a thought, pick a different route

[@coughtr]

I have a 05 and 06 LJ Rubicon s Best of both worlds . I don’t know why Jeep stopped building them. Does anyone know ?

Viva the 2 door The timeless Jeep 👍🏽

Where was this filmed, like what offroad place is this?

[@adamant7146]

how hard would this course be in a jkur with 33s?

[@dante.giannuzzi]

what rear bumper/tire carrier is on the 2 door?

[@aceforever001]

Without even watching the video, it's 4 door obviously! Weight/power, approach departure break over angles. The science doesn't lie.

[@jim6682]

After the 2 door dug two deep holes to make it more difficult for the 4 door on that last obstacle.

[@libertystuffnthingsreviews829]

What are the gear ratios in those?

[@columbiariverdetailing1943]

I have an xj front an rear locker 4.5 lift 37s blagh blagh work great half the price

[@mantislife7463]

I think the no doors are the best

[@robertfrancisco1193]

the 2 door did it have a locker?

[@RD-hn6ut]

Lockers are a must!!
