The damn FJ won't fit into the garage at the new house!!
The rack hits the garage door. The damn thing is an inch too tall!! I guess the rack has got to go and I can now get the one I originally wanted!!

You guys don't think outside the box do you? The easiest way to solve this issue is to lower the garage floor a few inches...

Cement work costs alot more than raising the header of the door would.

Haha! I had the same thing once after picking up my new motorcycle; couldn't make the turn into the backyard through the alley.
Had to remove our fence, and place a wall with a garage-door in it.
Good luck finding a solution; some here make good sense. [like the shrink gun...
].

I was being sarcastic. Chances are my idea would be the most expensive of any option. Then again, we don't really know the total cost on the shrink ray.

You make is sound as if photo editing is hard. It is not at all, I have been doing it for years now and I think my work is pretty good too...
This is exactly what the FJ would look like with wired rims and low profile tires.
You should give it a try.

OOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR, one could just ditch the FJ all together????
I'd like to put a certain topper on my truck, but then my truck wouldn't in the garage either. I like Eric's line of thought. I'll have to look into that.
