Yep:like: it will be "tight", but it's fine.
Edit: that's measured from the closed passenger side mirror to the open driver's door. My husband says our garage opening is also 10', so you're good.

Donā€™t just be concerned about the foot print. Also be aware of the top clearance.

my Jeep is to tall to fit in my garage.

Toyota Highlander and Honda Odyssey fit with no problem, but not my Jeep. And that was before the lift.

So if the weather turns bad, I park my rig in the barn.

size wise you are good. double check the height. just another tip, if the garage door hangs a little low for clearance, just use a visegrip and push the door up for the extra clearance.

If you have a soft top, either make sure it is all the way down or up and fastened. Do not try to put it in the garage in the Sunrider position. A few members have done this and realized that their Jeeps didn't fit and ended up bending the soft top poles. Enjoy your Jeep:like:

Definitely do whatever youā€™re going to do with the top before pulling in if height is tight, like where I park.

Also I used to have a very narrow garage and I put some leftover carpet on the wall where the door would open in case I opened it too far so it wouldnā€™t get scraped up against the wall.

Also, pool noodles work great. Cut them in half and place on your walls. Excellent if you have little kids (or anyone) who likes to be less than careful:like:

Not the wreck my Jeep kind... Iā€™m the wax and wash type I even fluid filmed the undercarriage. I want to hit some trails but Iā€™m very concerned about keeping my girl in top condition.

Anthony I do have a question for you.

On the back of your Jeep what is the badge for that is directly under your drivers tail light? Is it for a Mopar lift? Or for something else?
