Thank you, man, you saved me a lot of time, I was doing research for 2 days and nobody gave specific details about how big is the trunk of the 2 door jeep wrangler, I'm doing a review myself on dog crates and which ones could fit, this was by far the most helpful review I've found.

What did you find? What’s the biggest dog crate you could fit with no seats?

[@georgehanson2978]

Good video. Additional point to remember is that the hardtop with the rear glsss flipped up makes accessing the back easier than the soft top.

[@hg7240]

GOLD, those measurements and items you put in therefor us to see were gold .For those of us who don't own a 2 door yet- it's great to see this kind of detail given to the back and not just the front. I've got all sorts of ideas to build out the wheel wells as cubbies and have a removable lockable box made of aluminum that would fill up the entire space flush with the seats all the way back and to the height of the tub body. Add a tray up above that's closer to the roof for soft storage and I hope to go cross country with my wife and camp out. Thanks for the video's, cheers

[@fremont111]

i have a 2 door wrangler and i have fit 2 large cages (moving 1000 miles with cats), a suitcase, a small cooler, coats, and tons of other assorted stuff back there. i've also over the last month or so, fit a large IKEA chair, a 5'3" IKEA shelf, a desk (separately)...i'm always amazed at how much i can get back there (seats removed, obvi)! i have also had a bike back there but had the window open, front tire hanging over the gate haha! you could sleep comfortably diagonally instead of straight, like you were showing.

[@immaundacova999]

Prior to my 2021 2D JL softop, I had 1994 Cherokee (almost 500k miles). I was going to go Chero again, but got the JL instead for the added headroom for my 100 lb dog, Griffin. Plus it won't matter once we go topless this summer.

[@RetSol61]

I ditched the rear seat on my 2 door JK. Haven't missed it at all and have way more "space".

[@wallyfronzaglio372]

Me too on a jk

[@johnnyhatesjazz7434]

My subwoofer box went too.

[@pujabelgian]

Yes, ditch the seat! Build a platform w/12" interior height to the back of the cubby storage. We have top access panels in the front half, the rear access is from the tailgate.. tailgate access means the back is secure. The seat can be modified to drop flat as long as you don't have side airbags, we have a JK soft top. The storage matches the folded seat height. Remove the headrest to fold the seat flat. It's a puffy seat so use a ratchet strap with a piece of ply on top to hold it flat. Makes into a comfortable 74" bed. We do it, works great. Probably be a good idea to actually own your jeep as opposed to leasing.. the dealer wouldnt be too impressed. 😃to

[@brianm6787]

Great vid. Just a bit of advise, when flipping the seat up use the Velcro straps and secure it to the hooks near the roll bar. The seat will actually bounce around. I had cases of soda on the floor and the seat bounced, and the metal ends slammed into the cans. What a mess.

[@drivenmad2089]

I drive a semi truck for a living. I only come home once a month or two. I bought it to make a statement. I feel like a king driving it. I'm going to experiment and see exactly how many cases of beer I can pack into the back. I'll let you know

Good information. I currently have a 2014 JKU. I am always alone. No wife, no kids, no pets, or anything at all. I got the four door for cargo room. I sometimes fold the back seat down and sleep back there. With the miles on my JKU racking up, I am looking at the JL’s and thinking about a 2 door JL with half doors, as I miss many aspects of my old YJ. My big concern is the cargo space. This video helps.

[@H.pylori]

Thanks for discussing sleeping in the two door. I realized after I bought mine that this was a problem. I like my two door for its small size and agility, but after much searching on how to sleep in it I should have spent the bucks and gotten the 4-door. I must stretch out flat when sleeping because of back pain and one company makes fitted pads for the JKU for sleeping. Otherwise the best solution is to push front passenger seat forward and recline like you did but place your head at the driver side tailgate corner, fill the footwell gap with a cooler or soft clothes or blankets and you can stretch out. Works in a pinch.

[@drivenmad2089]

Unless you want to spend the money on a roof top tent and roof rack sleeping inside the 2 door can definitely be tricky. Thanks for watching!

[@pujabelgian]

After having our 2015 2 door for 7 yrs continually tweeking it we finally got it right after figuring out how to flatten the passenger seat. Yes it can be done! If you're tall you need to address adequate storage, sleeping headroom and sleeping length. Once you solved those, you'll be a happy camper. 😉

[@H.pylori]

@@pujabelgian Would you mind sharing how to flatted the front pass enter seat. In my 2016 JK the seat back only folds forward half way then tilts towards the dashboard. It only goes backwards a few degrees. My last resort is to remove the front passenger seat entirely and stuff the space with storage boxes to the level of the rear of the Jeep. Then I could fully stretch out my 5'9" frame. There would be room on the driver side to store equipment and supplies. I thought about platforms but then I would not be able to sit up. Thanks for your input.

[@toebeansandcheeseburrito]

Always thought I could get 2 door since I don’t have kids, then I got a big dog, and since I have a passenger in the back often I guess this one is a no for me 🥲 thank you though. great video.

[@drivenmad2089]

That's funny man! a buddy of mine just bought a 2 door JK and he had no idea the rear seats could fold up

[@BRLaue]

To make a more efficient use of space, the green plastic tote should be exchanged for three smaller receptacles that can be arranged with more flexibility.

[@silinusvers]

Something jeep owners should think about buying is that folding trailer from Harbor freight, it solves the cargo issue for those times you actually need to get let's say a few 4x8 sheets of plywood from home depot or something

[@adamj2281]

Great video, I have a 4 door JLUR, love it, no issues, but..........a little bit of me wants a 2 door. I've always had the 4 door (XJ, JKU, JLU) and a Toyota pickup in there for good measure. It's just and me wife, so literally the backseats never get used, but I carry surfboards/kiteboards, and I'm debating whether I'm cool with giving up being able to sleep in it. It's not really a money issue, more a which is more fun to drive/off-road.

[@Stretch1931]

Bike, yes... but you'd have to go topless and then close the gate, and either take off the front wheel or have it go more vertical with tie straps. So it's doable, depending on how much work you want to commit to storing it. But with hardtop on and everything, not without disassembling the bike a little more.

I've always wanted a 2 door Jeep as they just seemed like they were a lot more fun to drive on a daily basis compared to the 4 door. Re the Alpine stereo where the 'bin' would be...is it worth it? On the website you can opt for both the Alpine and the internal bin. The rear space looks to be about th same as the 2 door hatchback diesel Golf I had a few years ago. It was a 2013. I loved packing it with groceries and traveling with it. I'm subscribed!

Thanks for showing how you could sleep in the back. I'm a softee in that I prefer budget hotel/motel rooms to camping. However, I intend to car camp at a few out of the way destinations.

Have slept in some cramped situations, so I'm optimistic. Plus, I prefer sleeping head forward in my Jeep. Anyone slept in the back of their 2-door JL, yet? How was it?

[@docholliday6285]

Sleep on the roof for a better view.

[@H.pylori]

If I had it to do again, I would opt for the 4-door. But I wanted to save money and got the two door Wrangler. I have been trying to figure out how to sleep in it at 5'9" and have looked at many videos and forums to no avail. Finally one video suggested sleeping flat by moving the front passenger seat all the way forward and placing a board or small cooler in the foot well and sleeping diagonally with the head at the driver side tail gait corner. It will work, but you have to put some gear outside. So I bought a cargo rack and at night lash everything taken out of the jeep to the cargo rack. The other thing is to remove the front passenger seat, seat back, and place a plywood board across the footwell from the rear to the front seat bottom and you have plenty of room and avoid having to mess with the airbag system, and you do not have to slepp diagonally.
