I was in a parking lot for a duration of the day only to find that someone was actually parked under me.

Lucky for me, my tow hook receiver didn't leave any impressions in the guy's hood.

i was gonna say, it'd be his fault.not yours. I've had a couple people nose under mine but the worst was when a lady in a crown vic on 22's ran right into the front of mine. Put my bumper right through her grill. I had a few scratches on the bumper and she had a demolished front end.

Looking at this picture reminds me, when people ask me why have I got an old jeep.
My answer cos I can. And look at the picture, which vehicle says different (character) you don't even notice the boring shaped newer vehicles.

Agree. You can't even tell the difference between most new cars these days.

Only way you could park under mine is if you were driving a go-kart ha

Same. These elderly people cannot drive to save their lives.

My Jeep looks like yours! Minus bumper caps/trim pieces lol.

Anyways, only once had someone park with part of their front end under my Jeep, I thought it was entertaining. Then made me realize I need a gas tank skid.

Wow. Same tires, same wheels, same color. I can see some obvious changes though, like the older Cherokee emblem, an emboss 4x4 emblem, and of course trims. What is that though, 4.5 inches of lift?

They do great in the mud. I caked them beyond the tread and when I started driving on a flat surface they cleaned right out. They do great in sugar sand also.
