How tall is your rig?

Let's hear the overall heights of your rigs! I'm just curious. I'll be honest that I don't even know mine exactly. And I don't want to trudge out into the cold right now to measure so I'll post tomorrow. But who does know? Or who knows that they can't fit into most parking garages? lol. Height w/tent or rack.. with or without antenna.. etc. etc. Can you get into the garage at home?

Also, include lift size, tire size, other useful specs and what not!

I've got Thule roof rack crossbars with a few things up top, about 4" lift up front and 6" rear lift(including body lift), sitting on 33's, lots of stuff in the back holding her down... and I think I'm somewhere around 6'6". But will post tomorrow.


Here's a picture before 1.5" bl

tundra/bilstein (2nd perch) & LC 8 wraps
1/2" BL
285/75/16 duratracts

I think the highest point (roof crossbar) is at 6' 5"~6" - I can fit into garages taller than 6'8"
 
I'm sitting at 7'4" to the CB antenna, and 6'4" to the stock rack.

OME 881 Front Coils / OME 891 Rear Coils / 285/75/16 Goodyear Wrangler Duratracs / Sliders / Front & Rear Bumpers

Around here all of the parking garages are just short enough to where the antenna smacks absolutely everything and makes a ton of noise, but I can still get through.

6'7 1/2. Just put a level across my wmw rack. 315/70/17, 1" BL, kings and superflex coils, 24" center hub to fender measurement.

I was disappointed in my height when I kept reading about rigs not fitting into garages, I still have another 5" before I can't fit in mine. I think you guys have short garage specs or something, or I'm missing something.

I have a 7 foot opening to the garage, but my door sticks down a few inches into that opening. I'm sure I'm not the only one in that boat.
 
Not sure on my height, been meaning to measure it so I know. I'll try and get that tomorrow. I know It's close going into a local parking garage here and one of the gate things was broken last time so I had to go out the entrance to avoid hitting it.
 
My garage door is like Cree's, sticks down an inch or two below the door frame, no garage for me. I'm thinking taller is not better when it comes to the top half but it is what it is. The bottom half, however....ugh, I need some butt protection.

I've been meaning to do this in forever....measured with tires aired up for daily driving....

96 4Runner (the pretty blue one on SS 1.2, 1"BL, 33" BFG):
6'4" top of roof rack rails
7'0" top of basket
8'5" tip of antenna, but it's a Wilson flex so it can be tucked into the basket.

10 1/2" rear diff to ground
13" front skid to ground

23 1/2" lowest point farthest rear (bottom of rear hitch)
18 1/2" lowest point farthest forward (bottom of front hitch)

99 4Runner (the green highlander on stock suspension, 1"BL, 32" Michelin A/T):
6'0" top of roof rack rails
6'4" top of basket
No stinkin' cb antenna.

9 1/2" rear diff to ground
10 1/2" front skid to ground

19" lowest point farthest rear (bottom of rear hitch)
19" lowest point farthest forward (bottom of front bumper)

It's too darned cold to go back out there for for approach and departure angles.


And now I know more than I did.

With the tent on I do not fit in ANY garages.

With my Yakima Powderhound on top of my Thule Crossbars I fit in my garage at home (7ft door) and have made it into MOST of the garages around Seattle/Bellevue. One in Seattle I hit the measurement sign, but the attendant assured me I would fit. When I got to my spot I didn't even have enough room to remove my Powderhound. It was TIGHT.

With the tent on I am 7' 7-1/2" tall.

Without the tent I am ~6' 6" tall.

Better late than never right? :sorry:

I am 6'10.5" to the top of the Yakima Powderhound's I have up top. 5" Baja Rack is in the works and will be on soon hopefully. Then I'll need to re-measure.

I barely fit into my 7' opening in my garage. I'm running 3" suspension lift and 2" body lift on 285s. My roof rack hits the seal on the top of my garage door. I have about 5 cms to spare lol
