    Coils very soon. Within the next 2 weeks.

    Back up lights friday or saturday

    Rotate tires....while doing coils

    Slowing down significantly due to cold weather.

    Was gonna get wifey to buy roof rack for Christmas. Just looked at garage door clearance. Gonna be close getting in/out of garage door with it on. So may wait until spring. Can always let air out of tires.....just don't want to.

    Will now ask for gas tank skid plate instead.

    Pelfreybiilt aluminum.

    Got their bumpers @ both ends and 3 pc skids already.

    I have the TRD OR plastic skid now. Not a single mark on it, so it's not like the tank is vulnerable....just like the idea of a little more protection.

    It's a 2 car. Just isn't over-sized.
    Appears to have started life as a single and then was added onto. One bay will be dedicated parking until I'm too tall, the other is strictly workshop/tool/camp gear storage

    Who ever built the garage originally did a mighty poor job of pouring concrete. The floor was cracked in a dozen spots. So the people who we bought the place from poured a new floor over the top of the first. No sooner than you get through the door, the floor ramps up slightly, until there's 4" of concrete above the grade where the door sill is at. Long story short....the garage door became "too short". Plan WAS to knock down the garage and build a much bigger one with 10' X 10' doors. I got sick 2 years ago and that never happened. Some day....maybe....

    Mine too. I can fit both the truck and a civic in the garage. But to work on either, one has to come out and the other goes diagonal

    2 cars wide and 2 cars deep. PLENTY of room...once I get inside.

    Fear is, drive in, install more lift or a roof rack and do a "Chad" getting out....and wreck my roof!

    My biggest issue is it's also 2 doors, with a divider, maybe supporting, wall in between. I'd like to go to single larger door and get rid of the middle wall.
    Then I'd care less.

    Already gotta take off CB antenna to get in though. Door won't shut without tearing it up.

    That would be the plan if there was a plan....2 story, with a "lounge area" upstairs. 10' X 10' doors with 12 or 14' ceiling in lower level to allow for a 2-post or 4-post lift.

    Just got back from hardware store and auto parts store. Stocked up on 14ga and 16ga wire in red, white, blue, green, yellow, and orange. Got a good selection of "Scotchlock" splice connectors. Will be installing back up lights this afternoon. Started looking for the plunder I needed to do the job yesterday and discovered most of it was "out of stock" on the work bench. Now it's not!
