We have been working on the garage pod for the past couple of months and it is within days of completion. We painted the aluminum siding with the same paint as the camper pod and covered the aluminum roof with Raptor truck bed liner. We also covered the ramp door surface with the Raptor liner (with a little sand mixed in for grip). If it doesn't hold up long, we will probably use some of the rubber mat we plan to use on the inside floor.
The inside walls were covered in 1 inch of polyiso rigid foam (2 inches for the roof) and then we attached 0.090" FRP, screwed into the steel frame studs. We still have some trim work and wiring to do, as well as finishing the built in shelves. The built in work bench is awesome!
The main light is a 3700 lumen LED fixture made to look like a florescent 4 foot shop light (Costco, $36). I took it apart and did some microsurgery to convert it to run on 12V DC. We have a pot to limit the current and can make the light run from about 6 watts to 30 watts. We have another unit that will mount above the work bench cross ways and they are each controlled separately by a wall switch. Extremely bright light, which will be nice when working on engines or what have you.
We have the winches removed in the pictures but they are wired and fused. The door can easily be raised with several people on it (probably not wise though). Oh, and we installed the little teardrop trailer type door to have access when the ramp door is closed.
Can't wait to get it on the truck. It is going to be heavy...my guess is about 2200 pounds (was shooting for 2000, but with the roof rack, shelves, bench, winches, battery, things add up).
