Measure your jeep, gives you a better feeling about parking garages. Mines right at 6'8" which I have found is too tall for most garages in Philadelphia another reason I'm switching from my overhead led light bar to a poison spyder mount and 50" led that brings the light down 6" from my current setup

Steve

Btw I'll make someone a sweet deal on a 40" led light bar mounted on a rugged ridge windshield hoop

I love it! Especially being topless seeing all the pipes you pass under!

I deal with that! Depending on how low i may get out and unscrew it lol Price you pay for haveing a 5 ft antenna.
What type of antenna you have Jeek?? by looks of it we may have same one. Yours is the only other orange i've seen

That's why I know how tall my jeep is at it's highest point. All parking garages state their Max height at he entrance.

The toughest part for me in the past with lifted trucks was trusting that I actually had the clearance; an inch of clearance looks like you are an inch too tall when you're behind the wheel. Even worse, is when there actually isn't the advertised clearance due to paving irregularities and ramp angles.

This has been my wife's biggest argument with my mod plan She is insisting that it remain mall-rated... at least in terms of height. Wouldn't be too much of an issue if it wasn't for my kayak racks.
