Mine is BIGGER than yours. How do you measure up?

Duh
Its a picture of my lifted jeep next to one that isn't. It shows the difference between the two. I'm sure I'm not the only one that has taken a picture to see the difference in sizes.
Maybe I'm wrong and I'm the only one that thinks about these things, just thought it would be fun to see.
It makes sense now, sorry its still early for me.

They could really do all jeeps that way. They all could be a bit better. But we have the love for them to make them strong.

I've done it ... did it a lot when I first got my 3 inch OME lift. I was never satisfied and kept comparing. Heck, I've got 5" now & I'm still not satisfied . I wasn't convinced by this pic, but after I ran a straight line (in the pic) across from the top of his bumper, taillights & bottom of his window to mine, I felt better. My XJ has always seemed small to me. That blue XJ still works there too. I might get another pic one day for comparison, LOL.

I know what you mean. I'm not satisfied with my lift either. I'm trying to get into the "Jeep" way of thinking though. I had a lifted full size pickup before and with the 4" lift and 36.5" tires, I had to use the steering wheel to pull myself up into the driver's seat. That was fun driving that rig.I've done it ... did it a lot when I first got my 3 inch OME lift. I was never satisfied and kept comparing. Heck, I've got 5" now & I'm still not satisfied

But after reading here and other websites, I've learned that that truck couldn't do all my Jeep can. Also it is nice being able to drive into parking garages, and even my garage at home.
I have two feet of clearance between the ground and the bottom of the doors. That's really deep water and would take care of 90% of the flooding we get here in Houston.
Still after I get the front bumper I may go with another 1" of lift just to get it back where it was.

Dude there's no way yours is bigger than mine. Ask my gf, she's seen it.

Y'know what? I never looked at it that way. I'm very nervous about driving in water because I like my carpet plus I can't swim. I too have 2 ft from door sill to ground ... so I can ford about 22" of water (still chicken!). Looking at it like that will certainly help my perspective on the trails.
(Yup, 2 heads are better ... as the old saying goes.)
