I have owned one samurai, two 2 door trackicks, and one 4 door trackick. My vehicle must to function as a daily driver and sometimes haul the wife and two kids. Ive been drivin the 4 door over four years now and love it. I would really like to have a sami or convertible trackick again but they just dont fit my lifestyle. IMHO if you will need to haul more than the occasional buddy in the passenger seat you will be happier with the 4 door. Where I live clean 4 doors are also way cheaper than not so clean samurais and clean samurais are outrageously high.
