Hypothetical question

I would buy the JKUR and keep my current TJ for serious wheeling. I'm not in the mood to start over on a LJ at the moment and a 4 door would nice when I want to do mild offroading with the wife, kids, dogs, and cooler.

Also, there is around a 10k price difference between the two. So I'm either overpaying for a LJR or paying market / under paying for a JKUR. I'm not a big fan of overpaying.

Guess if I could "flip" the newer one for enough of a profit to make it worth while but to keep one, I'd go with the tju
 
JKUR. Take the half doors off the wife's JKU and paint match. Mild upgrades and 35" tires. Win-win. We then have the TJ for serious stuff, and a half doored JKUR for the long distance stuff.

Try to find JKU factory half doors, especially uppers.

Never had an Unlimited, so...if I was going to get a longer Jeep with more room, I'd pick the '14 JKUR. Why get a Jeep with more room, but still have the same crappy contortionist way for passengers to climb into the back seat?
 
Now that’s a good question having had a ljr and multiple tjs and having had a jk I would go ljr for the same reasons as everybody else resale value. I purchased a low mile ljr that had issues like bent axles needed new u joint had 50k miles for 11k fixed it and flipped it for 21k but now if that was a JL I’d go JL for the room and keep my Tj for off road.
