Things that are overrated...

[Garemlin]

I will say this about the doors. They are not as easy to take on and off as a Wrangler. No matter how the videos make it look. When I went for one of the in person showings the guy putting the doors back on (due to rain) had a helluva time getting everything back together.

I've never had a 4x4 with removable doors. So I'll have to wait and see if it's a novelty that quickly fades or a new lifestyle.

As for the 8" vs 12" screen, I'm definitely in the minority as I'd actually prefer NO screen. I don't need or want all the tech they pack into vehicles now days. To me it's unnecessary expense and more things to breakdown/repair in the long run. "Keep it simple, stupid" is my way of life!

Cup holders... the most overrated, IMO.

Massively overrated IMO is 4 door bronco
Sorry Had to say it

I am definitely a member of the KISS (Keep it simple stupid) principle club. If I could get my BD without power windows or locks and no screen at all, I would be happy. It would save me money for more practical things. By the way, I am still struggling with the 20th century.

Two words: After market Half doors!

OK, that's 4 words, but I'm getting the 4dr anyway.

Loved the 1/2 doors on my EB when the weather is nice (except that one time got caught in a monsoon rain bomb)

Not cheap for me, as I’d have to add a garage to my house.

Fair enough.

I've had three Wranglers over the years and loved taking the doors off. I ended up switching to a soft top, so I could see my Bronco sooner. It will be easy to drop the top and have the doors off. I don't really care about the big screen, but I wish I could have put the B&O stereo in all trim levels.

1. I actually prefer doors off vs top down if given a choice. So I'll be doing it a lot in the Bronco. I've had my Jeep going on 10 years and I still get enjoyment out of it. Had a REAL nice streak of weather just last week and had the doors off and the windows out of the soft top for 8 straight days. A real good run for our wet and dreary climate.

2. No 12 incher for me on the Base. Coming from a basic as you can get radio in the Jeep, not even bluetooth, the 8 incher will feel out of this world. I'm excited just to have Bluetooth, no more juggling aux cables and finally getting on screen/wheel controls

Also very overrated: Early reservation time stamps.

1. I really probably will never take the doors off. I feel that with the top removed, it gives enough of an open air feeling. I will keep the doors on for the arm rest factor, safety, and additional dust control. Just really don't see a reason for removing them.

2. I know the 12" screen is nice by those who have seen it, but I have no interest in a larger screen. Right now, I have enough screens and digital crap in my life that I am not looking to complicate it any further. I'm tired of all the digital life, cameras everywhere, etc. Just looking to keep things simple! Crank up the tunes and roll on down the road!

I probably will take the doors off once because we can and it will be interesting to see what that's like. Unless I can get these, in which case, I'd leave those on most of the year:

I think you're look at the dash screen wrong. Unless you plan to completely ignore it entirely, in which case, go ahead and cover it with a piece of black plastic or something. Otherwise, why not be able to use it better? See things better? See more? The larger screen has some features where two things can be seen on the screen at the same time, where it is not possible on the smaller screen. That's usefulness.

If there was a choice between no screen, 8’ and 12’ I’d choose no screen. But between 8 and 12 I’m going with 12.

Cupholders 🥱

So, I know that many people are fond of these features and I do understand why.

BUT...

for me personally:

1. I really probably will never take the doors off. I feel that with the top removed, it gives enough of an open air feeling. I will keep the doors on for the arm rest factor, safety, and additional dust control. Just really don't see a reason for removing them.

2. I know the 12" screen is nice by those who have seen it, but I have no interest in a larger screen. Right now, I have enough screens and digital crap in my life that I am not looking to complicate it any further. I'm tired of all the digital life, cameras everywhere, etc. Just looking to keep things simple! Crank up the tunes and roll on down the road!

Anyone else in this boat?

Yeaaaa you're right. You should cancel and get like a Kia or something.

I think my opinion is just the opposite. I haven't owned a wrangler before (always wanted to) but the idea of taking off the doors while cruising around the beach sounds amazing to me. I also might upgrade to the 12" screen when my MY22 ordering starts. I plan to keep this thing for 10 years and might as well include technology that will be the norm in the future.

I've had 2 wranglers, you'll love going doorless and topless
