Can you post a picture of the beast? Setting part way into a 7’ garage would be awesome!!!!
thanks man. If you don’t have one a pic of your rig ridding on 40s with the 4.5 lift would be great.

Very helpful and good reminder to be more aware once i start driving around. My initial concern is making sure I clear my own garage, which is 78 inches, conservatively. As long as I'm good with that, then hopefully I won't need to worry about where i'm driving.Modern building codes require 7' clear for commercial parking garages. I've been in some that have a headache bar at the entrance set at 6'-10" to warn you if you are marginal in height. I've also been in garages that had various pipes and things hanging lower. I took the bike rack off the top of my car one time in such a garage. If you are in a city with a lot of older buildings, they might have received variances from the city to allow them to operate with less than 7' clearance. If you think you are marginal for 7' height then be very careful when entering garages and don't take for granted that everything in there will clear 7'.
Thanks man. Absolutely beautiful rig. My wife and I very nearly pulled the trigger on that color, but we selected the Ocean Blue Metallic instead.
Yup full size spare mounted on Motobilt’s spare tire reinforcement.Thanks man. Absolutely beautiful rig. My wife and I very nearly pulled the trigger on that color, but we selected the Ocean Blue Metallic instead.
and man!!!! Tight fit into the garage!!!!
Thanks again!!!!
sorry but one other question. I’d guess you have a full size spare (40). Yes?
If you want to get at least two more inches or more clearance don't use the electric to open the garage, pull the lever that releases the door and roll it up half way manually it should stay put.
Maybe they need to develop a form of quadralift for the JL. When you get home at night you push the "lower" button.
Cool name on hood
Thats a good idea. It works for me just the way it is and still have plenty of room once im in to pull the top off or jack the jeep up to work on it.If you want to get at least two more inches or more clearance don't use the electric to open the garage, pull the lever that releases the door and roll it up half way manually it should stay put.
If it wants to roll back down then go to the right top of each door and put a ratchet and socket that fits and with the door closed turn counter clock wise (I think) and crank the tension on that spring a click at a time until it catches itself and repeat procedure until door stays where you want it.
- a garage door installer told me that if they know the doors will be powered, they don't waste any time adjusting this feature.
I take my LONG WHIP when I travel in the Jeep( that mast will pick up a crap load of more free stations than my 6" antenna and unfamiliar parking garages.) but I leave my 6" on pulling into MY garage knowing I push to open close, release latch, manual roll up and it stays put.
Helped a another Jeep owner who put a huge lift on in his garage and could not figure how to get it out.
-We aired down real low and went manual mode on the door and it it hardly made it with just enough room.
Thanks! It started as a inside joke and kinda stuck.Cool name on hood
That’s funny. I’m adding a Rubi hood and like the lettering and struggling with what to put on. Trying to keep simple. Anyway - totally get how it stuck with all the Mods you’ve done to Sport model. Nice rig. Looks great...Thanks! It started as a inside joke and kinda stuck.
helpful, thank you. As you and I think someone else mentioned, i do notice my garage door still "hangs down" a little when fully open. So i'll take a closer look if my door has the capability to pull all the way back.I have 2" lift and 35, a loaded roofrack, I can still somehow fit into my 7 ft garage and spare 1 inch. You need to adjust the door limit stop on your garage door opener to make it open the full 7 ft, a lot of garage door opener installers left that low so the door can open faster.
Just keep in mind, every lift and tire is different. Lifts don't always net how high they advertised, tires are often smaller than what is written on the sidewall.
