if i was to get a 2nd jeep it would be a granite crystal metallic like my 2 door jl sport. as for the 2 or 4 door. i dont know. my first choice would be a 2 door, but i could go for a 4 door. i'm not crazy on the red accent. i would love to get a 2 door jeep truck like the j6 or j12, if jeep decides to build them, tho, i have a better chance in getting a cj8.

Best decision I ever made! EcoDiesel is a monster.

I am leaning toward white with red accents. Painted tops and fenders with steel bumpers... how much more is the diesel compared to turbo and v6?

I opted for OCean Blue, wife has a PunkN Sahara.

Buy what color you like but I am not a gray/black/white/silver type, have a white, silver and black car, PITA to keep clean looking. Since I ordered got what I want. Per 4 dr or 2 dr, I choose the 4 dr for larger size and more room.

The diesel was around 3k more over the V6. Worth every penny i promise you

What we like should not matter. Get the color you want most. I always like the military inspired colors. Sarge Green just became available. Sting Gray is awesome. I wish Gobi or another tan was available. You can't go wrong with any of the "fun" colors either. No bad choices.

You have a 4-door already. Maybe try a 2-door.

I am biased towards 2-door models. I own a Granite Crystal Metallic 2-door Rubicon and would buy another 2-door the next time around. I love the look, compact size, the short wheel base and maneuverability.

I HIGHLY recommend these options:
LED headlights (Best headlight I have ever had on any vehicle)
8.4" Infotainment w/ Alpine (Larger screen is nice, the Alpine is worth it alone)
Proximity Door Locks (A lot of people regret not getting this and adding it is not easy)
Tow Package with HD electrical and most importantly the Auxiliary switches (Makes wiring a breeze)

Check out the Rubicon based Recon. It's good value IF you want the options it has. You save a little cash also because they bundles options.

Have fun deciding and building your Rubicon!
