Well mine fits just fine my big garage behind my house, but it's about big enough to fit 4 small cars in so... but wont fit in the house garage at all, it's even too wide and too tall. Mine being cab and a half with a short bed is shortest 250 they make though too.

Shoudl be done by Fall hopefully like I said. Then besides maintenance i'll have to find a new money pit to throw my paychecks into.
Its a jeep, you're always gonna want to go bigger/better. You're gonna finish all this and then say...well why not 35s, then, why not bead locks, then why not a roll cage, then, why not 1 tons, then and it goes on and on and on

All I can say is I hope not for the sake of my bank account. I dont foresee myself going too far from the 3" on 33's setup. Maybe if I go really crazy someday i'll buy some longarms and a front locker.

Just you wait. Right when I got done with my lift and put my brand new 33s on there I already wanted 35s. Surf pirate4x4 for a couple hours and you're gonna want to chop everything up and make it a badass crawler. not saying it happened to me...but yeah...it happened to me
