Very nice looking, love the upstairs too, that will be sweet for storage.

How big is it, it looks big, I'm guessign 28x32 or more.

I built a 24x24 a couple years ago, so glad I did it. If i had more room I would have went a little bigger, but if I went too much bigger it would have looked as big as the hosue LOL

its 30x34x11 with a walk up 20x34x8 upstairs. Brad I have not forgot about the heat, but it will be in the fall, had a few unexpected bills. As soon as the epoxie floor goes in a mohawk 2post will be installed.I had a 200 amp service put in, with cable TV, internet and phone. And yes there will be a beer fridge
What sucks is that I have this garage and my car is up on jackstands in my little attatched garage waiting for the new 9in rear, I never want to work on my back on old concrete again.

Brad if my truck would pull it and I had the cash I would be all over your trailer

Way to go, Bill. That's sweet!

I thought you had a 12 bolt in the car. Did it **** the bed?

The 12 bolt pissed me off with the moser TA bolt system, and it weighed a ton. the Fab 9in weighs the same as the stock 10 bolt and is stronger.
I also dropped from 4.10 to 3.70 gears

Must be nice! New luxuriously appointed garage. New Fab 9"

Don't you have a 10 bolt you can put in there while you wait? Hell, I just put mine back in. Damn locker was making me nuts. BTW, what kind of diff will you be running? 31 spline Trutrac?

Thumbs up

That's hot, especially the upstairs storage/potential future 'party room'.

11 feet is enough, you're not putting a pickup 6 feet in the air but a car you can go up enough to make doing just about any task a walk in the park.

I have 10.5 feet of height, and it's enough for a 4 post lift like I want to eventually buy

Oh I wish I had a garage. I miss the ex girlfriend her dad had a 40x60 garage in the back yard with a lift. That made life great. Nice garage man

I may know someone selling a four post lift that's in perfect condition and never gets used except to let his car sit there all year round if you want me to ask about it...

The deal is if I hook you up with him, you have to let me use it whenever I need to (not that I pull my transmission very often or anything...).
