Things sure have changed over the years...back in the day (even if folks had families) the manufacturers of arguably the most sought after/popular/capable/timeless rigs (1st Gen Broncos/Jeeps/FJ40s) had no interest in adding extra doors. Imagine a first gen Bronco as a 4-door? Or a CJ5/7? An FJ40? Toyota did make an FJ45V-I back in the 60s, but it was very short-lived (and they then came up with the FJ55G/V). Point being that somewhere along the way (around 2007 for Jeep and 2021 for Bronco) 4-doors became more prevalent, and probably make more sense for folks who need the space...but there will always be those of us who are drawn to the 2-door versions (or the originals from yesteryear). I would wager that if Ford came up with a 2-door Raptor, and Jeep with a 2-door 392, those would immediately become some of the most sought after rigs of today (even some of the folks who own and love their 4-doors would be tempted). From the Jeep side, I would also think that bringing back a slightly longer 2-door modern version of the LJ would immediately gain customers...those who seek a little more space but don't need or want the extra 2 doors. Pointless to argue or propose why one of the other is "better"...about as productive (and subjective) as discussing politics or religion.
