Does the 4 door Jeep Unlimited look like a thing to anyone else?

Nope. Not ugly enough.

I check them out and the half doors won't be available for a while. I whish the roll bar was optional for the true Thing look.

I imagine the roll bar is removable?

I wish they made it full size doors in the back 2


I dig it though. If i had an extra 18K id get one

"Toasty" (my Thing) would be done by now. :wink:

18K? The 4 door was starting out at $23K! I wish I had an extra $18.00, not too greedy here.

The aspect that is really lacking for me are the practically non-existant rocker panels.

Probably not easily, since the roll bar is an attach point for the seat belts. You'd have to retrofit lap belts in all seats.

And that's before the dealer hits you with packs and junk fees, something the Chrysler dealers are noted for. You'll be lucky to get out for less than $27K.

The fuel mileage isn't anything to write home about, either. 15/19 in the 2-wheel-drive version.

15/19 MPH??? Makes me appreciate my Thing even more... It gets 24.5 MPH!

My Thing used to go 15-19 miles per hour, but with the new engine I can get up to 24.5 miles per hour. In fact, I got up to 55 today for the first time :P :P :P
