You can still get 1/2 doors for JK, had 'em on my wife's '09... definitely have to search for a set (craigslist/Facebook marketplace)
The rear windows are removable on the Skytop.
The Freedom panels definitely helped, aftermarket targa tops were not convenient at all... but the Bestop Sun...
I used to believe this but sales numbers say differently...
Around 2008, hardtop sales eclipsed soft top sales almost 2:1 on both 2 door & 4 door (excluding dual top options; east vs west determines which top the owner will likely sell)
The new power top is in higher demand than standard soft...
The 2dr JT would have been a MOPAR Performance part if the MOPAR JK truck bed conversions weren't such a nightmare.
If the JT is still selling as well in 3-4 years, we may see a 2 dr model with the mid get refresh (interior/powertrain)
The ZJ is more of a nod to the Aftermarket & loyal Jeep...
Not really EJS is more of a trade show with some local attendees and aftermarket Jeep accessory companies. Jeep will still get press time in JP, 4Wheeler, etc. with their HEAVILY modded JL & JTs...
My guess is FCA will be pushing the Raptor competitor (Ram Rebel TRX) more so than any Jeep...
Voted $55k
Currently have a decently equipped JLUR I paid $50k OTD ($54k MSRP) when they 1st came out in Feb '18.
Would be willing to go as high as $55k OTD for Bronco Raptor and know of a dealer in MD likely to deal on volume (purchased my ' 16 F-150 for $12k below sticker OTD).
