Removed the final drive from my 12 Ural Patrol with sidecar and 2WD. I am replacing the ring and pinion gear to get a higher cruising speed so I can go on the interstate. It stock is way to low. More like a tractor. It will move cruising speed from 60 or so to 70. Got it removed and...

I used 1/2 " plywood with exterior glue. Used deck screws to fasten onto the studs. I mount many heavy items on the wall. Even plan to mount "retired" motor cycles. It is a climate controlled garage. Seven years and it has held everything perfectly. Absolutely no issue of delamination anywhere.

I went with 32 wide because I was going to have three cars side by side. When I put them in I found that I had room on both sides for benches and could still walk between them. I had the 32 by 30 building married to the existing 22 by 22 garage. It was offset on one side for a man door and on...

My understanding of tankless heaters is that to work well they need a full supply of water going through. Such as when the dish or clothers is running. Low flows like just turning the tap for some hot water to wash your hands is not doable. But my info is from a number of years back and...

Mine has had two CFL's in it since installed 6 years ago. I can open the door from 75 ft away with the opener. Old opener had one light incandescent and needed replacement often. Have not touched the CFL's in the six years and there were free with a municipal hand out program. They do not...

One of my cars had two digital clocks on the dash. The CD player had one and it was lower mounted than the dash clock. So the higher one I left on daylight savings time and the lower on standard time. I really liked that. Never had to adjust. Look up for DST and down for CST. Boy! am I lazy?

Re: what did you do in your garage today? A while back there was a thread about messy garage's. It reminded me that mine had gotten out of control. I'm retired but I waited until after the evening meal each day to dig into the mess. It took 4 to 6 hours each day for two weeks. I put out three...

strnge: Mine is flat but they work on sloped as there are two ropes and each can be adjusted.

I have been using Fram filters exclusively since 1962. In that time I have used them on over 130 vehicles. Since I retired 10 years ago, I used them in my three Corvettes, Viper, MX-5, S2000, RX-7 and collection of 9 motorcycles. My dad had a service garage and only used Fram. In his 32 years...

Re: what did you do in your garage today? Did the 5,000 mile service on a 2012 Road Glide Custom. My cost for oil and filter under $40. Dealers charge for the same service is $305. Used the HF high lift. I have used HF stuff since the mid 80's and have never had an issue or problem with...

Have phone, cable, internet, 33 duplex outlets. 50 amp 220 outlet,office area, two four post lifts and a 60 amp 220 outlet. I should have put in a restroom. :(

My house is 1,104 sq. ft. My garage is 1,500 sq. ft and has one loft of 400 sq.ft of storage and a second one of 128 sq. ft. I promised my wife that I would build her a house to her liking and I would place a "proper garage on it". She asked what is a proper garage. I told her 50 X 120. :lol...

Every November I change the oil in 7 motorcycles, a truck, five sports cars and two cars. This year I decided to start thinning the herd. I did sell my 10 Toyota quad cab TRD Rock Warrior. At this rate in three years or so I will have the room that I am looking for.

My pole building was posts on 8 ft center and 12 foot to the rafters. I decided to use 2x4 on 16" center and put a top plate 2x4 on and went the other four feet. Then I insulated and paneled. When I got done I realized that since the added sections were not load bearing that I could have saved...

I went with Cat5 to the back of the garage which is metal as no wireless would go through a metal building with metal doors and no windows. The line was right at 100 feet. Runs a computer and TV in the garage, seven computers and five V's in the house. System has performed great for five years...

Never specifically took a picture to show the 50 bikes hanging from the ceiling and walls. I use the pulley set up for hanging bikes that HF sells for about $8. Many other stores like Target have them for up to $30 and they are the same maker. The ropes are hooked onto the pedal for the ones...

I forgot to say why I used 1"x6" car siding on my ceiling. I have a collection of 50 bicycles hanging by pulley systems from the ceiling. Needed the strength for the load.

I used car siding for my ceiling. easy to install but time consuming. In the avatar it shows above the car on the lift is about the only picture that I have.

Dug off the top soil down to clay added 6" of grade 8 (CA6) aka road pack and had compacted. Put 6" of concrete over that. This was well beyond what was required for the four post lifts.

Mine are more like Steveo's. Any given drawer contains generally related type tools in one pile. But as some are full another roller chest has a drawer for those. If that drawer is full then another chest with a designated drawer. Does one need 200 screw drivers? Sure! How else are you going...
