    If you have a 3d printer you can find them on Thingiverse but I'm not sure how sturdy a 3d printed one would be. I'm looking at doing very similar to the pictured set up but in our living room near the entry. Those racks would make it pretty easy to put the tandem on the wall as well. Straight shot in and out of the front door. My garage ceilings are too low to hang a bike from, plus that's where I store all my steel, roof racks, etc. Also, bikes get filthy when you store them around sawdust makers.

    All of my tables/tools/etc are on wheels so that I can move them around. I've got a smallish workbench on wheels that is pretty handy when it's not covered in crap. I made a small portable "bench" that I can bolt to the antenna tabs on my ARB bumper which gives me a decent sized workspace when I'm working on the trucks. It's just a piece of wood with T-nuts and a couple of bolts. I'm on the verge of redoing a lot of the garage right now. I picked up a Harbor Freight tool box for the ship and purposefully put it in a high vibration/heat/movement location and mounted them so that they opened athwartship. It's held up without issue so far, so I'm looking at getting four or five of them and using them to build a bench along one wall.

    She parks outside if I've got a project going in the garage, but I try to make room for her car to come in at night. The garage is heated, which is awesome. Warm car = happy wife. Plus, I installed seat heaters in both of the trucks which is niiiiiiiice

    That is how I try to keep it too. Nothing on the floor makes it much easier to keep clean and organized.
