2018 2DR Rubicon with stock tires and no lift.

I put a 2x4 on the highest point of my soft top and measure 6' 1"

So I should have 3" to spare, but that is not much.

Anyone have experience with these garages?

Edit: you all convinced me there’s too big a pucker factor. Going to take the Yukon to off-site parking like we did last time.

You can always air down before go in and air up after you are out. That close you will be very paranoid as you drive through. 😥

You will be fine...............Worst case: drop the top before you go in and park between beams. Then put your top back up.

You will be fine .. I you have the factory antenna on it, you'll notice that its slightly taller than your roof.. Consider it an early warning system :)

If you plan to park this and then fly out I expect to see a post in a few weeks about your jeep being stolen or broken into. Seriously just take uber, a taxi, or have someone give you rides.

Airports are all you can eat buffets for car thieves

Thanks for helping me decide!

Don't take the LIRR to the Airtrain, they've been shutting it down for construction. Randomly.

Long term parking is also fed by the Airtrain. At this point, I'm merely confirming your long term, off site parking solution.

Good luck.

Next time, fly out of LGA, construction there is mostly completed.

2nd the Factory Antenna. As long as it doesn't hit, you are good. But, it looks very scary at times.

I’ve parked my XR there many times. It’s a bit tight with the soft top, but fine with the hard top. You will be fine.

IIRC, the Terminal 5 lot has more headroom than the Terminal 4 lot, but I’ve used both.
