any downside to 2 door vs 4 door?
2 door has some different interior pieces that are longer so they are more difficult to find.
Due to the length and weight of the door the doors might sag a little more than the 4 door since they have the same hinges.
2 doors have HUGE windows.
That is all for now.

I personally like 4drs better, due to the fact that of ppl ride with me, and feels great i dont have to open my door and push my seat to the front to let someone out.

No doubt trimming helps open up room for bigger tires to flex more! It's pretty easy, unless you cut a pinch weld, which on the 4dr, is pretty close to fender lip (on the rear, front is wide open). Here is a pic of 2dr (for reference).. Depending on where the pinch weld is, the 2dr offers more trimming room, I think..

somebody posted that 2 doors have huge windows...they do, and i love my huge windows. great, great view of my surroundings...helps make for safer driving. plus, i prefer 2 door to 4 door for the simple fact that you can hide things in the rear floors of 2 doors and there isnt a door there to open and say " hey cool i found something to steal "
plus, being single and lonely makes it so having 4 doors is depressing if only one of them ever gets opened.

Ive always liked the look of the four doors too.
but its so hard to find the model I want with four doors for some reason
4.0 I6 HO 5spd 4x4 four door and under 200k

From my experience there are a lot more 2 door 5 speed combos than 4 door 5 speed combos. I have only known 1 person that has a 4 door 5 speed combo. Although finding any xj is a 5 speed seems to be getting harder and harder. Best of luck with your search.
