Park much?

[ExitLeft]

Same here...always a bit crooked. I think it's because the hood tapers so I line up the diagonal line of the hood with the parking line; thus crooked. I've started tapping the rear view camera to have a look at the lines behind me to see if I'm lined up. That and a quick peek by opening the door. I think if I was tall enough to actually see the front fenders I'd be ok, but alas, I'm not.

Every time I park I back in. But don’t use the camera, that just screws me up... over the shoulder, check out the line of the door compared to a reference line on the ground. Make sure they’re parallel. Done.

In the morning, if my face is a little puffy, I'll put on an ice pack while doing my stomach crunches. I can do a thousand now. After I remove the ice pack, I use a deep pore cleanser lotion. In the shower, I use a water activated gel cleanser. Then a honey almond body scrub. And on the face, an exfoliating gel scrub. Then apply an herb mint facial mask, which I leave on for 10 minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine. I always use an aftershave lotion with little or no alcohol, because alcohol dries your face out and makes you look older. Then moisturizer, then an anti-aging eye balm followed by a final moisturizing protective lotion.

Damn I gotta shave my routine down to this. It'd save me so much time!

Maybe you need to upgrade your steering stabilizer or maybe your control arms are too short. It is kind of like a death wobble but only when parking? Is there much wind noise that is throwing you off?

If it weren’t for auto park I would open the door and line the rock sliders parallel with line.

Interesting... I traded in a 2016 Ford Edge for my Wrangler. It was a running joke between my wife and I that I could not park that damn thing straight to save my life. My 2006 Mustang I could pull up at 50mph, slam it in reverse and peel out backing into a spot and be damn perfect, but that Edge, I was always tight to the passenger side line, and crooked.

The Jeep, first time I parked it it was straight as an arrow and centered.

I will add that I have a hard time parking using the mirrors on the jeep. I think because it sits high and I can't see the references on the ground and have to rely on cars next to me and such for alignment, which we all know how people park these days.

If your seatbelt is buckled it won't do that.

ROTFLMAO!!! I would have thought a response like this would have been one of the first ones. Dang, I thought the OP was going to say he also walks on water...

You mean crappy like @blessidsoul12?

 

[Onyx Dragon]

It is definitely something about the vehicle. I didn't have the problem with my TJ, and I can just whip my XJ into a spot and be perfectly straight without a second thought.

I keep trying, but sink every time. Of course, you all hopefully know that dialogue was just a dramatic setup to contrast how frustrated I am that I suck at parking this thing.

You’re just jealous ‘cause you’re not all exquisite and stuff.

 

[ChrispyJL]

You are only 99% exquisite...the last 1% will come when you become one with your JL.

Can't say I have any problems parking straight in. I do normally back in though.
