Two door XJ’s can be very difficult to find but they’re definitely out there. I recently flew down to southern ca and drove mine back to Sacramento Ca.

I got lucky with mine. I saw it in a Kijiji ad at about 9:00 am. I drove 20 mi. to see it at 11:00 am and bought it. The vendor drove to my house to drop it off at about 4:00 pm. His wife drove him home. It was probably the easiest vehicle I ever bought! lol

Picked up a 2 door barn find for $3K once.

Is it 4WD?

I've definitely noticed (anecdotally) that a 2dr is more likely going to be a manual trans than an auto.

My 2dr 4X4 5sp seems to get more attention from would-be buyers than my 4dr 4x4 5sp. I personally prefer 4drs so I don't really get it BUT... those 2dr door openings are so nice and big! Plus, any 4.0, ax15 4x4 Jeep is awesome.

They're easier to get in and out of for starters.
They look pretty damn sexy for another.

They arent nearly as common as 4 doors. From what I have seen most 2 doors seem to be base models. Bare bones no power options.

You get a monster door to climb in and out of. You do not lose any interior space.

4 wheel drive works perfect.

Where the 4 doors shine is getting kids in and out of car seats and loading cargo into the back seat.
Ease of entry & exit for driver and spotter 2 doors win by such a large margin it's not even a contest.

Based on that alone it's reasonable to assume the reason 4 doors outsold 2 doors is the majority of buyers had kids.

I love my jeep xj. I just got it and I didn’t know they made 2 doors until I got this one. It is a 4x4 5 speed with the 4.0. And it’s the first generation which I personally like more.
