Similar to the top of the world trail in Moab, your Jeep is at the edge of a cliff overlooking a valley.

Hi K,

I've got a small request. I'm looking at running Clayton 6 inch long arms in the next little while with 33.5 or 34 inch tires. Would you be able to let me know what it the total height of your WJ from ground to the roof?

I want to make sure it'll fit in the garage.

Thanks in advance.

i'll check, but i don't think i'm the best person to ask because when we did the JK axles i think i gained some height due to the way the IRO spring perches sit on there....

update - at the B pillar, i'm about 76 inches to the roofline

Thanks a lot!

I've got a 84 inch garage door so I should have plenty of space with 34's.

oh and about the snake (Green Mojave Rattler)...

Somehow missed this post... The Mojave Green is born pissed off and doesn't improve his attitude as he matures. He will chase you, he don't run. He has no idea what surrender or flight means. I wasn't aware they were that far east! I used to work in the upper Mojave Desert and he was the only snake I went out of my way to kill.
