With much help from Jess and Andrew - until Steve came to take Andrew to the dyno day - a tyre rack has been built, tested and proved functional at my new place.

It was always going to be hard downsizing garages by moving house and I was really struggling for room.

Thanks Jess!

Step 1. The tyres are in 2 stacks in front of those shelves on the right.

Step 2. It looks like it works...

Step 5. Make use of extra space by putting car in garage!

All up cost about $150 including 3 new drill bits (about $30 there) which I can obviously keep for future use.

looks neat!

whats the wall made out of?

Just your basic gyprock and timber joist/studs....

We put 6 bolts into each of the studs that we could find in the wall

Dodgy builders >_< were suppose to be 600mm aparts and some werent but what can you do :laugh:

Quite heavy with all the tyres and rims up there

looks neat!

whats the wall made out of?

Lollipops and nursery rhymes... well ok, it's made from plasterboard and has timber joists and studs. The rack is only attached where there is a wood backing behind the plasterboard which is why it looks there is one bit missing (where I am hanging from it); ie there isn't a stud behind that part.

    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
