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

| 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.

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. |

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
