I have been working on this code for some time now trying to get it to work properly. I want to restrict the use from uploading more that 2 images in total.

Good answer jbl. I tweaked your solution a bit to make it more generic, and to make the 'Add files' button reappear when needed.

uploader.bind('FilesAdded', function(up, files) {
  if (up.files.length >= up.settings.max_files) {
    up.splice(up.settings.max_files);
    $(up.settings.browse_button).hide();
  }
});

uploader.bind('FilesRemoved', function(up, files) {
  if (up.files.length < up.settings.max_files) {
    $(up.settings.browse_button).show();
  }
});

max_files is part of the pluploadQueue settings

$("#uploadBox").pluploadQueue({
  ...
  max_files: 2,
  ...
});
