Downstairs. I'm in the process of building her a custom bed for down there, that will fold away when needed.

The rear of my J30 sits right at 82" and I have the AEV 2.5" lift installed on my 2016 with the factory "AEV" bumpers (no winch), and stock 265/70R17 tires at about half tread remaining. My roof rails and solar panels are 1"-2" above that.

Yes on both. The top was new in March, and I measured at the high point right at the rear before it tapers back down a bit.

Sure did. Just click my signature link to my build thread. (Which may not show up if you're using the mobile version now that I think of it.)

I have an AEV 2 1/2" lift with BFGoodrich 34"x10.5"x17 KO2's. My Ursa Minor J30 is #204 and it just barely slides into an 82-83" garage. I have AEV bumpers front and rear, a Warn 9.5 winch and Goose Gear interior so that maybe sinking the lift by a little. I am located in San Diego and if you need, I can show you my setup if you are interested. Photographs in my signature. PM if you have questions.

Water Woes
For all of the J30 owners out there (not you lucky dry desert dwellers), any quick and non-permanent suggestions on stopping the flow of water off the roof and into the cab? The top is installed as far forward as I can get it and this leaves a track where all the rain pours off and into the Jeep every time I open the door. I'd like to divert it and prevent that if possible. Preferably without putting a bead of silicon or something that would be harder to remove should the top ever come off.

Where is the water appearing on the inside?

It doesn't leak when closed, but when I open the door it hits the side of the dash, the steering wheel, the door, and the main stream hits the door sill and goes everywhere. It's a waterfall I have to quickly climb through every time it's pouring. Which has been frequent lately.
Eagle 05 - I had that same problem! I was quite disappointed, but kept telling myself "It's a Jeep". (I find that I use that line on myself a bit too much)
Anyway, one day I was driving along and my nephew (who was riding shotgun) noticed that the front bolt on his side (the one located just about the center line of the front doors and runs up through the roll bar and into the J30) was so loose that it was ready to fall completely out! Turns out, the one on the drivers side was just as bad. I went home and tightened them both up properly and the dripping is now just a small drizzle. Yes, if I open the door when it's raining (or at the car wash when the top still has water on it) there is a small stream that runs down and hits my door sill or maybe a little bit will get onto the floor, but it's NOTHING like before. What I've got going now is completely acceptable to me. I mean....It's a Jeep.
