What is your FJ40 Restoration Shop Garage Set-up?

[-MaTTi-]

Could you give some specifics on the shelter? Manufacturer, dimensions> It looks like you have some type of floor.

It’s this:

Pressutalli 3,4 × 6,5 m Professional PVC

Pressutalli Pro on laadukkain autonsäilytykseen tarkoitettu pressusuoja. Kestävä autoteltta jossa on myös sisätilaa avata auton ovi. Tutustu ja tilaa!

Yes, concrete slabs (40x40x5 and 30x30x5 cm) on some rock crushes and plastic.

Here’s my new setup, still waiting on overhead doors because of manufacturing delays. Quite the process. It’s a 30x40x14 with the overall height around 16ft. Ignore the wife’s Jeep!

Well done
How do you like the big ass fan?
What lift are you getting? That’s next for me either 2 post or 4

I love the fan. Seemingly just right for the space.
Most likely a bend pak 9k or 10k lb 2 post asymmetric set diagonal where the mustard cruiser sits

Unfortunately we ran out of space in the warehouse. Had to move raw material into the shop space.

What the hell were you making? All the phony ballots?

I love seeing all of these replies. We built a new house in 2017. The garage was planned with a dedicated "Land Cruiser area". It's been really nice to have it while I'm restoring the 76. Now I'm eyeing a spot in the backyard for an additional 30' x 30' garage. That will probably be a few years off still but it's nice to have a goal in mind. This thread has given me a ton of ideas. Keep them coming!

Dirty floors and still unorganized, but the doors are hopefully arriving on Jan 18...then I can button it up. Workbench in progress.

Slowly but surely undoing years of neglect. Pictures don’t do it justice but I can finally see some wood on my workbenches again...I can walk in a complete circle around the 40, and my wife can carry our kid out to the car without tripping. Baby steps...

Before:

I’ll call this during - I haven’t made it to after yet.

Poured a footer for a 40x60 shop. Couldn't get any of the 3 local concrete "businesses" to come pour a wall.

Now lumber is more expensive that hunter bidens crack bill. Probably not building anything for atleast 5-7 years now.

Looks good and the workbench will give you many years of service. Maybe you could post a cut list of the workbench materials in case anyone else would like to build one like that.

Work in progress....

@81fj40 I see red drip rail

 

[81fj40]

Yep, purchased that from a mud member ten years ago; taken me that long to get my cruiser together. At least it's running and were out cruising!

I have this as a jack BL-7000EXT - https://www.quickjack.com/car-lifts/bl-7000ext/
2 car garage is tight. Doubles as a covid gym too.

The biggest luxury is to have shop space separate from the house/garage, so that you don't have to move or put away project pieces, parts, and tools in between times when you can work on them. Expensive but way worth it.

Here is my current setup, after construction was finished. Right now, it is filled with our household goods so I can't use it as a shop until we finish building the house next to it.
