Thanks! I got lucky and been blessed with the opportunity to build my dream garage, when we built our house 2 years ago. I designed it myself and call it my Garaj Mahal. :) My prior house was a basic 3 stall, with a 10 foot ceiling, and like 2 outlets in all of the garage. No heat. No drain. Not enough lights. etc... I could go on. So this one can fit 6 vehicles (5 + 1 on lift), has 20+ lights *ceiling and side walls, since I detail a lot* and 20+ outlets, including three 220V - a heater, a big ceiling fan, 2 TV's, a 16' drain, full insulation all around, a 15' ceiling above my lift, plus a pass through full size garage door to come out through back. It's so nice to see an idea of yours 2+ years in the making, where you can have things just the way you want it, come to life.

I'm slowly switching all lights to full LED strips/T8's.... but it costs wayyyyy too much. So I'm doing a few pieces at a time

It's where I spend my time if I want to get away from the kids... lol. My true mancave. I just installed a Wilton 6" vise on my table top!

Curious - if you are building almost a full door, what's the advantage versus just using your regular JL OEM door? Seems like yours is 1/2way between tube doors and a regular door?

I Like to have something for those surprise rain squalls or temperature drops. The doors I made can be easily stored in the back without and worry of them getting damaged. I'd be real nervous throwing my factory painted doors in the back

This is super cool. Are you sure this isn't a photoshop??? lol... details on the build please.



Thank you... I forgot that you have a 2 door vs my 4 door. So I have extra trim to remove :(

My build is essentially complete but I got bored and my mind never stops......

I love my Brawlee tailgate dome light, but the options for wiring it up were not perfect for me. You could either wire it to the dome light circuit or keep it plugged in to cigarette lighter. The dome light circuit is perfect for loading stuff in the back when you only plan to be back there for a minute. It comes on automatically and then it shuts off automatically. The cigarette lighter option is perfect for when you are working back there for extended periods and don't want light turning off on you but then you loose the auto on/off of the dome circuit. I've been needing the latter option lately.

I hardwired the light to the dome circuit but also put that in parellel with a switch. Need it for extended periods.... Press button otherwise it stays in auto. I used a male and female 5.5mm connector from Amazon to splice in the switch. Be careful where you put switch there is very little space on that trim panel that has any depth to it. Another added benefit of this is if you need some light and press button all the dome lights come on, not just the Brawlee light.

Has anyone installed the mopar black grill? Preferably those with black wheels on a lifted Jeep? Just want to see how it looks. The only color I've seen with it is the green one.
