Get out and drive the truck this summer and have some fun!
It sucks not being able to hear!

LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB!
After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.

Re: Lets see your garage

Mine.It's a tight squeeze getting the Mustang in because it has really big doors. My truck, and the Corvette have to sit outside, which I hate. Kind of a pain moving 4 cars to get anything done in the garage. I miss my old garage, it had a lot of room. (Thanks ex wife) I wish i had some better pic's but my computer took a dump on me.

Re: Lets see your garage

My garage is old, small, barely "wired," and so junked up it's literally dangerous to be in. I have to get the truck running and mobile in order to fix up the garage.

was just in your town today, im in the western burbs but went to uncle johns flea market today and visited a old friend in hammond. used to work out there by webb ford like 5 years ago when i lived in lansing. they are building up that area so much since i left.

anyways back on track....


i really dont have many pictures but its nothing special. after buying the house in august of 2014 and winter fast approaching i could only afford a 22x24 garage. didnt even have electricity in it for a few months





paver driveway after spring.


later that year i think. it is still weird having to mow the driveway


its pretty loaded down with crap now but i can still fit a 52 and 86 one ton in it. i actually had to kick some yard equipment out of a 10x10shed to make some more room in this thing as i could barely work in it.

Crazy how I can barely get a truck in a 24x30. Too much crap, but I might need it!

Re: Lets see your garage

See if I can remember how to do this. I built this in 2010 and never had a garage for the stepside. Once I get my living room done I will have a lot more room in the garage.

Re: Lets see your garage

Here's my before shot. The Jeep and Chevy live together in the garage during the winter for the most part. I do kick the Jeep out and put the cover on it when I'm working on the Chevy though.


Last year, I re-did the garage to give me a little more breathing room when both rigs are in it. It also made it nicer to work on either one since I actually gained quite a bit of room by losing my cabinets.

Re: Lets see your garage

I am loving the pics. We have started to clean our house out to get ready to sell. The problem is, my budget vs my wives budget. Not sure I will be able to get what I want. A pole barn with a lift. Will see what happens

MIne is Sooooooooooooooooooo far from clean. Every time I thing I get someone close to clean, things start appearing or getting laid everywhere. I need to fix my habits I guess.
