They dont make a roll pan for the Avalanche with cladding, I like the bumper look anyhow. The house is big and I guess I figured the garage would be big enough. I'd love to have a garage capable of fitting a lifted rig two deep but dont think I'll ever have that in life.

Probably just gonna keep parking outside. ****

If it fits but scrapes, maybe trim a little bit off of the door? Does yours have the horizontal "slats" on it that come in from the door a little bit? Not sure if that's clear or not...

I'm w/. 03chevyroyce & Atomic. My dream garage will be huge, I'd love to have a lift & trans jack. Cause I don't wanna do any more trannies from the floor. Hopefully FLT will cure that, but not my point.

I want heat, a/c, toilet & a microwave in it too. Maybe not the microwave, but a toilet. How many times have u guys had to run in the house, dirty up the door w/. cruddy hands & almost have a turtlehead issue?

That's what I was going to say. Drywall and spackle are cheap enough when it comes time to sell the house.

i knew a guy downsouth his work truck had the business on the side of it. there deed restrictions wouldnt allow outside. it was a extended cab and wouldnt fit. so they cut the wall out where the front bumper would just sit in then the door would close.

then when you move just hang a big *** picture there lol

What is it w/. FL.? I know, rules. My nephew has (had) same problem. Assoc. wouldn't allow trucks, any trucks. If that's your only vehicle, a person is S.O.L.

Nice. I really love the hangin a big pic on after.

I would not have made that mistake in the first place. If you had the house built you should have been able to make the garage big enough. That's kind of the point of Building.

Anywho. **** happens right? As they stated, I would notch the wall. Seems like the quickest and easiest route. If it is brick you could see about having the Garage door moved outward a little. Depending on the build and how much room you need.
