Talking Parallel parking the JK: An artform in itself.
Living in the middle of Los Angeles and being too tall to fit in garages means a lot of parallel parking for doojer's JK! I think I've got it down to a science. This isn't the tightest spot I've squeezed into, but I figured I'd start taking pics as I continue cramming the JK into the city's smallest spots!

I used to be good at parallel parking, but I honestly can't remember the last time I had to do it

You could always winch a car out of the way and make a space.

LOL

I like the 6 inches of clearance you get for being able to back over top of the hood of the car behind you.

That and the ability to climb right over curbs for that extra long 2 point parallel parking.

Thankfully I told my work that if I was gonna get my own transportation they would have to let me park the Jeep in the work garage when the work van comes out each day as street parking my new 30k vehicle in Chicago wasn't an option.

I miss parallel parking, I worked in city where I parallel parked all the time with a F350 bucket truck

Post up more pics when the spots are really tight

park it between a couple Mini coopers or smart cars
