2 Door vs 4 Door

Has anyone that started with a 2 door bronco and made the switch to a 4 door regretted it?

I really love my 2 door. It's perfect for just me. I love how nimble it is on the trail, able to make tight turns with ease which really helps on some of our Ozark trails. But I know there are obstacles where having a 4 door makes tackling them a little bit easier.

Also, the times I ride with my family (which is like maybe 6 times per year), we're not taking my vehicle since my family can't really crawl in to get in the backseat.

I'm also reminded I have a 2 door every time some new accessory comes out that is only offered for 4 door versions.

I'm basically trying to figure out my next Bronco and whether it would be a 2 door or 4 door. I know I want to upgrade and get a Badlands or another trim where the electronic disconnect is available. Lux package would be a nice to have for the 360 cameras but not absolutely necessary.

Anyone have any thoughts?

Unless you have a real need for more space the 2dr is just more fun to drive and looks like a proper Bronco, take it from, I've been there.

That's been a great collection!

@Mountains2Metal just launched a slide-out tailgate for the 2-door which is pretty snazzy.

I was eyeballing that last week.. Went through the checkout process and they want $275 to ship it.. Hard pass!

If not for the insane shipping, I probably wld have ordered it as it does look super sweet.. No way I am paying almost half the price of the item in shipping cost..

Wow. Yeah that would be a pass from me too if I'm being honest.

I've bought several things from M2M, and shipping costs pretty average. But I guess now that I think about it, I've never bought anything "big" from them.

I do know they often sell parts at shows, so if you are going to SuperCel East or something... probably worth seeing if they're going.

I contacted them via phone to ask about the insane shipping. They said they'd check to see if it was the correct shipping fees and that they'd call me back.. They never did.

Not a big deal but a lost sale on their end...

I wonder if they ever attend Bronco events and bring any with them for sale. That's one way to avoid the exorbitant shipping cost. I know that I've saved a bunch of money buying things at the Overland Expos.

I know they’ve been at Super Cel East the past two years. They’re based in North Carolina.

Absolute insanity..

I sold my power tank setup with brackets and mounts and it was like $80 for me to ship it to the buyer.. I'd assume my power tank set up weighed more and needed a larger box then their slide out..

Not sure where they come up with their shipping fees but there is no way it's $275 to ship that unless they are overnighting it..

M2M emailed me and after a few back and forth emails they offered to ship it for $225 instead of $275. The $225 is still sky high IMO so I decided to pass..

The weird part was they said I can add more to an order and the shipping would be the same.. Wait, what? Charge me the actual shipping cost for the item I order. I'd guess this could be shipped by FedEx Home for a fraction of their quote.

They told me it ships LTL with
liftgate.. Does this weigh 300 pounds?

I think they need to redo their shipping as something is not right..

Anywho, moving on and with the hunt for an alternative...


This is strike 2 for me.. The Goose Gear I was looking at ended up needing an additional $500 option to work and the shipping on this is insanely high...

Someone out there will eventually take my moola.. LOL

Edit to add: He did say they will be at Super Cell East and will have a few there but I am not attending..

I think they sell the item for less and are making it up on shipping. I suppose there is away to check what it actually costs to ship. I’ve had parts places have a great price on a part but then charge more for shipping than the part. Found another source with a slightly higher price for the part but the shipping was way less. Ended up being less overall
