I love working on any car really. Just as long as I can bang my knuckles, get dirty, and eat pizza. 9 hours, 3 pizza's, case of RootBeer later we finally get done. With lift kit and the new 35's we put on the Jeep is one mean looking machine. He got in, and started backing up when I yelled "stop". Turns out the Jeep was too tall to back out of the garage. lol We even tried putting on the stock wheels but still no luck. So I start laughing pretty hard as he is just giving me the greatest look. CHOICES: -Find some smaller tires that would fit to get it out. -Remove the lift kit and re-install outside. lol -Remove the Garage Door, trim, and whatever else needs to be done to get the darn thing out. We are dieing to get this thing to Boulder and hit Left-hand. Pics to come soon.

Deflate the smaller set of tires and put the taller tires on once you're outta the garage. Derek Scion xB 5-spd Previous: 2000 Silver Frost SVT Please share the road with cyclists.

There is a guy around me that does this to his show truck all the time. Granted he puts carpet in front of the brakes when he does it so he doesnt scratch them. · Jon Miconi · Coming Soon! · 01 Cougar · 98 V70R
