Maybe should have checked the new garage was up to the job first before building/buying/moving!!!!

Tonneau looks best option at present although the poles shortened and welded up would make the tight too small Exmor canvas fit finally.

Certainly no chance of any big wheels but she won't be out in the wet and snow anymore, worth the sacrifice and insurance drop.

What garage doors have you have?
I changed an up and over for barn doors. Slightly lower profile tires and shorter springs would help. How much gap do you need? Digging up the floor at the front could be an option? |

It's a roller door by Henderson, the switch is on the outside and give me 5 mm clearance on the cab. If it were moved I may get the rag in , can't dig up the floor expensive block paving.
The door is bust so may become a couple of opening doors so switch can go, measure up this weekend.  |

Getting a tonneau and will take 20mm out of the poles later this year, as long as I get the height level with the truck cab job done.
