The Jeep Wrangler Unlimited is the first four-door Jeep Wrangler in existence. The extra two doors allow the Wrangler to act more like a family SUV instead of a strict off-road truck. Like two door Wranglers, the four door Wrangler Unlimited can have a hardtop installed onto it to further protect passengers from the elements and lessen driving noise. Lifting the heavy hardtop takes two people to lift, but once it's on it is very easy to maneuver.
