83 inch garage, figure 82inch max height- Can I realistically do anything?

You missed one !! Build a carport

I am completely stating the obvious here and I am sure you have thought of both of these if it’s possible, but could the garage door be adjusted. From on the inside wall of garage so it gave a bit more height, or the concrete floor be broken out and a slant downwards be added again to give an extra inch or so.

My partner says that an extra inch can make all the difference…..I didn’t know she knew much about garage doors !!

If the garage door is a bit low and the limiting factor and not the garage door opening, it may be possible to
simply adjust the stops on the opener rail so it opens a bit more and or shorten the garage door opener arm and or move the garage door opener back another inch or so. DaBull

I already have the door ‘full-up/rolled’, it is the opening cross member that is the issue. I’m starting to think that the issue that will get me is leaving the safari windows open/ajar that even at the standard height I might have issues. (Or maybe that is the difference in the reported height of 79 inches and the manual 80.7 inches- that the 80.7 includes the windows ajar.)

It would be interesting to hear the conversation internal to Ineos about the balance of tire-size/suspension/cabin height and the issue of it seems a lot of people have 82-83 inch doors.

Hi Mile High, Have you measured the garage opening at it's lowest point, which may be your cross member. What is that exact measurement? DaBull

Hi stickshifter, I did not use a laser, however I did use a 6' long level and placed it across all 4 roof strips and used shims to get it perfectly level in order to get an accurate measurement. I then measured everything to 1/32" and in the case of my Grenadier being 79.938" in height, that equals 79 15/16", which I then converted to 79.938", when I should have just rounded it up to 79.94", however that would not have been 79 15/16", LOL. As noted, my tire pressures front and back were 37 psi. and they were cold, perhaps 60 degrees. (Yes I know 60 degrees is not cold). I am not the only one on the forum to report Ineos having the height too high.
I was surprised that for my build they were too high by 1.762" or should I say 1.76" . DaBull

Thank you so much for this information. I was considering a detached garage and you saved me.

I guess a roof rack, lift and tires together are a no-go. Lift and tires probably not, and I’m not even sure if I can get bigger tires…

I did get the towing, but not the front winch- if that makes a difference. DIdn’t realize how close I was even on the stock reported height of 80.7 inches. Coming from a Tahoe, I didn’t think I’d have any issues. Glad I haven’t pre-ordered a lift, tires and rack..

Really wanted slightly bigger tires, but will I need a lift too?

Frick, this thing is tall.

***Crap, if I have the ‘sun roof’ windows open/ajar, how tall are those???
