4R GARAGE - share photos of wherever it is that you park & store your Runner

Party's are over, it's all over back to the grind
Front yard's been rid of Christmas decor
Moved on to darts + cans of budweiser

 

She juuust fits

 

If it fits it fits!
Love that 4R

 

where did you get your cover? I like how it covers most of your wheels too

It’s probably by you out in California. I have had four of there covers for various vehicles and they have fit like a glove. It’s custom made for model and trim, took a few weeks to get it.

The covers I have protects outdoors as well as is thick to prevent against knicks etc in the garage if you are working.

I have enough room to prop the hood up during winter a few inches and hook up a battery tender also.

The first time you put it on it’s easier with two people just because it gets tight when going around the mirrors after that a breeze.

 

From a few months ago, before the ditch lights were added.

 

TRD Pro picked up two months ago, parked in a heated garage.

 

The new kid and grandpa…..

 

Theres room for a second kid next to the first kid in that garage

 

We’ve had quite a few cars and trucks since we bought grandpa in 1990 and grandpa aways seems to make the cut. I have another garage filled with other toys, welding/machine tools, RV and the Cummins, my better half says no more………be happy with what you got…….shhhh…just one more new pistol, please, oh please I’ll be a good boy….

 

Garage is an absolute mess right now but also my man cave. Two TVs with full 5.1 surround sound , full beer fridge, poker table, ping pong table, foosball table, dart board and a Woodstove to keep it warm

 

That's awesome!
Jealous.
Be happy for everything we got, indeed. Just owning a 4Runner is out of reach for many.
Now I wanna see pics of the this other garage

 

Love this
Ain't that messy buddy,
Sick setup!

 

Very nice. I have a two cars plus the 4R plus a boat but only 2.5 car garage and rent another space. No wife here but everything is a trade off I suppose

 

Installed more E-track and Milwaukee Packout in the Runner garage. More efficiently utilized what the old lady calls my 'smoking corner'.

 

my garage before ↓

 

then, in progress

 

I took a bunch of pics when my garage floor way done with epoxy last year. I love how it came out.

 

Here ya go.
This was a retirement gift from…..uhhhh….me.
Central heat, 1/2 bath and all the garage doors are insulated. 10ft ceiling in the shop side and 18ft on the RV side.
The RV bay has a door in back as well for pull thru, I have a curvy driveway and don’t like backing down it. There is another 300ft behind it for an easy u-turn.
I was going to epoxy the floors but I just couldn’t wait to move in.
A lot of the stuff in the RV bay I’m storing for my son.

 

@2ndGen22re brother, you had me as soon as I saw the lathe. I have access to a lathe and a mill at work, and I call it the playroom. I worked as a machinist for a while. and thoroughly enjoyed it as long as I wasn't making a large batch of something that I would get bored with.

 

Dude, your garage game is expert level
Very cool! Thanks for sharing
and I like the poster above the mini fridge

 

I’m not a machinist but have made a lot of chips prototyping in my 35yr career as a R&D Engineering Associate(over-paid technician).

 

I got that lathe for FREE along with a bunch of tooling, an engineered company my now-engineer son was working at threw it out. I had to fix a few things and do some major cleaning. It works pretty good now and I made the mill stand and installed all the read-outs on the lathe and mill. The mill is a toy compared to what I worked with but it does the job.

 

New Year
Fresh new 4WDABC Member Calendar dropped off by the post
Cracked a fresh new Canadian beer

 

Ahhh…Molson…loved it in college, probably worth a -1 on my GPA.

 

Derek is Kokanee beer popular out BC anymore? I remember as a teen in the 90s visiting my uncle in Vancouver and liking that beer. Maybe it was the novelty that it was from BC. I used to find it in Ontario also at the Detroit border. It was always fun to go through that duty free. Ahh the good summer and trips I had in BC and fishing on the island.

 

Hah!

 

That's such great stories to hear! I remember forever Kokanee was the first beer that my late father let me try a sip of, I spat it out immediately and thought it was disgusting. Now I love beer and Kokanee is delicious.
Certainly a very beautiful place I live in, just highest price everything you can think of haha
Yeah man Kokanee still decently popular out here, always on the shelves, but it has had a harder time being popular these days in such a crowded market.

 

Yes you are fortunate what a beautiful place. Long story short I took my Grandma out there to see her sister after Grandpas death and I was 19. Best 8 weeks ever. Drank beer legally, went to baseball games, had some great dates, and once on the island fished a ton in Campbell River.

 

High of -10⁰C today in and out of the 4R garage
