Unlike you, I dislike full doors, they take up too much wall space when I leave them permanently in the garage because it’s a Jeep.
Oh, and all TJs should have came with Dana 44 in the rear, not the 35.
The TJ came with way too many Dana 44's for the rear axle. No need for the extra cost of the 44 when the 35 is so successful.
Possibly for the average mall crawler i guess. Not sure what you mean by too many though? Glad mine is 44 at least. That and the prior owner was smart enough to upgrade the axles as well
You know guys I’m driving up the parkway in Huntsville Alabama and looking at the age of vehicles and you don’t see many vehicles still on the road that are 20 years old being driven daily except the TJ And the occasional older work truck
While I love my TJ my 2002 Subaru Outback Sedan is at 287,000. We brought our daughter home in it from the hospital in 2002 and now is her daily driver at college.

That is really cool.
Our daughter was 3 months old, our friends had a baby and we went to the hospital to visit- we walked in, I sat the carrier on the desk at the nurses station and said “ I have a return, it leaks”. They freaked a little.
Oh...One big pet peeve of mine is the stupid door strikers. Two reasons...One I've had them poke holes in my kidneys (or so it feels like) rolling out of the seat to get out of the bathtub. The other is the weak return spring on the seatbelt allows the belt to hang up on that striker...and the door then smashes the seatbelt.
One good thing about that u-shaped striker is that it works pretty well to open beer bottles...
My "all manual transmissions, all the time" wife would take exception to that - but I do agree. Autos are boring as Hell and "mind numbing" indeed!Automatic transmissions. They are mind numbing. Kinda like having an automatic motorcycle or Vette... it's for girls.
I have full doors, but think the half doors look really cool when the top is down.
I have the 4cyl and it's bullet proof, no power, but that's about to be fixed with re-gearing.
I'd rather have the dependability of the 4cyl, personally. I'm in no hurry.
Fog lights, meh usefulness. But, gotta have em for that Jeep look IMO.
About the ONLY thing I really detest are the Ugly Turd or Darth Vader grilles.
My pet peeve is people that can't spell perfect.

I don't get it either. I swivel both legs out, then slide down.
I agree, but it's been around longer than that.After years of YJ drivers doors cracking you think they could have come up with a way to stop this from happening with the TJ's
