Having a dry place to work on it near home is always better.
The truck almost looks to big for the garage. :lol:

It's a tight fit that's for sure! But I'll take the big tires off and out small ones on for rollers so I can get it out when the suspension work is done

Tight fit is right. Not much room in mine either. But happy to have a garage. Looks like you'll have some room to work at least.

Do a little bit every time you have a chance, better that than to burn out trying to get it done all at once.

That's the plan. Do a little after work each night
