Finally a garage

[macgyvr]

After years of going to college with no garage, and living with the parents and not much garage access, and then living in an apartment with no garage, I finally have a garage. Me and a Jeep buddy just got a house and it comes with a 26x24 garage!!!

Now I can finally get some shit done without always having to go out to the shop.

Two jeeps fit nicely with lots of room to spare...

One of the first mods was to take the doors off my buddies jeep, soon rollcages for both of em.

That jeep is the Cherokee UNlimited that you've seen in attica as well as the pic of it on the crack in Moab last year from EJS in the 4xMagazine.

We're getting ready to build a big work bench and wire up some 220 for the welder. Beer fridge is next on the list.

Garages are for whimps who can't work on their junk in the driveway... Gravel builds character ;)

Nice score Mac... someday I'll join the ranks of the sheltered wrenchers... untill then a shade-tree will have to do.

One day woody, one day....you should see what Chark is building if he hasn't posted some pics of it, its bad to the bone and he's waited a loooong time to get it.

I'm so happy to have a place to put all my tools and even keep the jeep in the garage in pieces if i want to....

Nice, how much longer before you have to lift the garage and add a panel to the door?

He mentioned it awhile back...just as it was getting dried in. It sounds awesome! Besides being a Hoot at the campground, that guy Chark is a Master Welder...I cant wait for the ribbon-cuttin ceremony. He will be my first choice for fab work.

As for gravel...LOL swapped TPS on mommies Jeep 0800 this morning in the rain on the rocks. I ain't the biggest pea in the pod but still can't fit under that #$%^&*@?! enough to keep my nose off the crossmember. She can't bitch any louder about a 3-4" lift than I did this morning fixin on her low riding !@#$%^&.

Finally threw a jack under the front diff and hiked it up for room to maneuver.

Shade-trees don't quite keep the rain off :bawl: LOL but I stand by the statement that gravel builds character (and vocabulary)

Its just nice having a place to park my small fleet, all the vehicles and trailers were getting a little out of control at my parents house. I had the jeep parked on the trailer for a while till i moved out cause there just wasn't enough room....

the garage is definately great....
