Project "Truck Shop" underway

[John R.]

Good looking project, thank you for sharing.

I like the look of your interior walls better than using drywall or plywood with paint.

Nice build! Love it! Do you have and pics with the jeep and the superduty parked in the shop? Because I'm looking in to building a shop around this size.
Thanks Rob

Thanks guys, really appreciate it. Rob, the superduty got traded in a couple years ago, and ive been busy tying up some loose ends on the Wagoneer so i can put it up for sale. I am ready for something different.

I will dig around and see what kind of old shots I've got though...

Awesome build. I plan to subscribe. Athough I don't have my shop yet of the years I've been here (I think) this is my favorite build..

1 question which might have already been asked, ( I read this thread in a 45 minute period).

Why not go with a post lift versus the drive on? Was it due to ceiling height as you previously mentioned? 12" ceiling vs. 16".

Even without the lift, great build... great plans.

Thanks man! Pretty big compliment there! I Chose the 4 post so I could store vehicles with it when not using it to work on them. 2 post would have been great to work on stuff but nothing helps more than getting a vehicle out of the way when you aren't using it. We garage people tend to fill the space we have regardless of the size of the shop.

You pretty much own all my favorite vehicles.

I love that Wagoneer! Did you restore it?

 

[PurdueSD]

No its original paint... starting how some age. Its kinda been hot rodded. Its got a GM LS motor. 5.3-4L80E / NP 241c. The interior has a bunch of new stuff too... new headliner, seats, console, carpet, dynamat. Wanna buy it?

If you're ever up around Seymour or Bloomington, PM me for a beer or coffee or whatnot. Would love to shoot the **** with a fellow GJ'er.

 

[wmonroe]

Wish I could buy it, too many irons in the fire right now though.

I have ALCOA's Leaf Relief gutter guards on the house. I plan to use them on th gartage too.

Works pretty well, sometimes I have to clear off the top of them where the roof valleys deposit rain & leaves, but I don't have to clean them out. I have an extension pole with a brush on it so I can sweep it off from the ground.

I just found this post. Incredible DIY.

How do you like the gutter guards? I need to do something.

Thanks.

 

[PurdueSD]

bww that wasnt my post, might want to pm that guy.

Just checked out your build, nice shop!

Great shop!

I found the picture of your garage on google and loved it. I would like to know who drew up the plans and or where you obtained them so that I might build a similar garage for my classic cars.

Love the waggy and a nice set up

[PurdueSD]
