Very nice. Iām a Gladiator fan myself. Thanks for the tips. Iāve had epoxy at my prior home. Live in a townhome now and the garage floor has really old oil stains so Iām not sure I can get the epoxy to stick properly. So Iāve been considering tile like yours.
this was before, years of inflation, I cannot comment how prices are now. but I did buy mine around Black Friday pricing on that year, and my tile finish is called "tuff shield" and its very tuff, just be aware, you cant weld on it, or going and dragging trans/engines etc on it. it will scratch it. but for a non mechanic garage, its perfect. some people like to get a square piece of wood or something to put under jack stands feet, because some cars are super heavy, I have like one or two little wheel spots from jacking my mustang up a lot, but in general is fine. - I just jack my car up on concrete outside lol. all liquids/oil etc, wipe right up. no stains or anything. if you are questioning if you will spill gallons of oil on floor, put a plastic sheet or something, because theoretically I guess it could seep into the tile breaks. but you can pop them apart easily enough. I move tiles around over the years when I want to move motorcycle parking spot other spots and such.
This. Bigger isn't always better. I love having 75% of the utility of a big truck AND the convenience and economy of a small car.
This is why many people position once, and hang a tennis ball just barely in contact with the ceiling.
Yep yep. I have an angry bird as my parking ball.
err, I hope that's a stuffed one from that video game.
I bought this back in 2010, had it in my Subaru 98 Outback wagon. Loved that thing, manual and fun. Had it on my dash and over bumps it made the angry bird noise.err, I hope that's a stuffed one from that video game.
Live ones bounce around to much. Worse, they defecate on the hood as they do so!
I have the hanging ball too. My garage + work bench only gives me 9ā of total clearance for front and back. That amount of clearance is fine to pull in, shut off, get out and walk away. One and done. But, if the Maverick was 6ā longer, as suggested in the previous post that I was replying to, I would only have 1.5ā of clearance in the front and 1.5ā in the back. Any minor deviation, like driving in at a slight angle, and you could put a headlight into the work bench before the windshield ever reached the ball. Likewise, the rear bumper on the opposite side would collide with the door, as it came down. Those tight clearances would force you to do multiple checks. That would be fine, say when youāre going on vacation and want to keep your car out of the elements for weeks, but it would not be ok for daily use.
Little hijack here. Did you look at the Colorado at all?
I had a 2023 Trail Boss on order and one of the first delivered in Ohio but my wife wouldn't let me do it for $44,600 (no discounts at the time). The interior was cramped compared to the Maverick and if people think the interior on a loaded Mav Lariat at $40k is bad, I know they've never sat in a $45k Colorado...
I actually have a couple of feet between my '72 Eldorado and the workbench!
