    The cargo capacity with the seat up is pretty good, opens about 37" length in the cab. Once upon a job, I had to transport about 1500 pounds of bagged aggregate in my Raider, along with my normal tools and boxes (pics above in array). Truck went slow when on the fully compressed suspension.

    I have had numerous 2-doors.

    Short of measuring, no. But if you're familiar with the size of a box of copier/printer paper, I'd say there's room for 8 boxes back there with the seat up, at least 6, anyway.

    When I went to the rally a couple weekends back, I had my large toolbox (easily 24"x12"x14"), an old milk crate full of fluids/belts, my bugout bag, backpack full of clothes, a gallon of Rotella T6, a 24V cordles impact gun, and a thick hoodie back there. Plenty of room left. It's pretty cavernous.

    That is good to know. I am thinking maybe the 2dr would be the perfect rig for me, but I guess I will find out once I test drive one. How is the gear boxes on these models?

    How many "transmission problems" posts have you seen?

    All jerky responses aside ... they're so reliable and bullet proof, I tend to forget about it. I just throw it in gear and go.

    I was referring to if the manual shifting is smooth, or if the auto is a slow dog or something, but fair enough.

    For the auto's just be sure you use 100% compatible transmission fluid. Mobil 1 has been shown to be incompatible so steer clear of it unless your getting a free tranny after it fails.

    The auto is a standard 4 speed. Long gears. I can't speak to the manual, but I think it would be safe to assume they're even better.

    I was there too! I had no idea a rally was going on until one of the roads we were on was closed until the cars got past.

    @red87 shame we didn't cross paths. I got caught up in a traffic jam rolling out afterward. Rally volunteer work is good times.
