    i pretty much rebuilt a car over several years with a tent garage thingy from northern tool. It survived through many storms and snow falls. I pretty much built the entire thing in there with the exception of the final paint - (there simply wasn't a way to take all the air out fast enough.) With that said though, I painted all the interior, door jambs etc in that tent and got great results.

    if you have the driveway space, I highly recommend them - my wife might not though, they don't exactly add curb appeal

    I completely understand. Good luck on your hunt for a garage and thank you for your service on both sides of the fence (civilian/military). If you're ever in Florida or Idaho look me or my son up!

    Do what this guy did. You may need to take a Sawz-All to the door header to fit a Tundra in, but I have faith you could make it work. When shit's gotta get modded, it gets modded dammit!!

    I know the feeling of not having a garage. I have a 2 stall parking pad. My tools etc are in my basement. In and out. Up and down. Every. Freaking. Time. It's a pain in the ass.

    That guy rocks! his wife has no idea....people who don't appreciate vehicles the time and money spent on them....I get they are material things and can be replaced, but sometimes it's more than that. My Tundra I worked my ass off to get along with the help of my grandfather and what he's done for me. I'd i lost my truck i would be devistated

    I might be one of the odd females in the world, but i was raised by a kind hearted (sometimes mean...only when need be) woman and a Force Recon Marine/Reno PD officer....I've learned a bunch from my parents. My dad taught me how to work on vehicles and I'm forever thankful for that!!! I LOVE IT! AND HAVE MISSED IT!!

    WI cops are bad. They love to give us IL drivers speeding tickets. Kinda remind me of LA cops when I was living in Texas.

    It is a little bit of a haul lol. I've done it several times, drive straight thru to Decatur, hunt for 3 days and drive back. It helps to have a couple of co-pilots.
