Parking the beast in the garage?

[McM]

What do you guys use for your parking aid in a tight garage? I was able to fit it in with 3 inches to the rear wall and 3 inches to the garage door. My old car I used a tennis ball, but I think I want more precision. I was thinking about a parking block, but it would have to be bolted to the floor but then other cars wouldn't be able to park if needed. What are you using?

A: Screw the other cars, Raptor gets priority.
B: Unbolt the block if/when needed.

I have a rubber parking curb but I don’t use it. Haven’t bothered to mount it to the floor.

I just use the front camera and a mark on the wall - align the two and I’m good. About 3” front and about 5” rear.

"L" shape with blue tape aligned with rear camera left side grid.

I've been using these Park Smart mats for many years. It's a heavy vinyl that stays put pretty well from it's own weight, and you can move it easily if you need to. I just put a few small marks at the corners with a magic marker so I can place it easily if I need to move it out of the way. If you have a fancy floor you could just put a few pieces of tape down, to mark the corners.

I use a pair of commercial wheel chocks that sit on the concrete. After I position them I mark the locations with chalk so I can easily move them and put them back in the same place. With my former diesel truck the chock might shift back an inch or so every month, so I would verify position once in a while.

For the wife I have one of these parking aides glued to the floor. The glue tape finally gave up the ghost after three years. One benefit to this for my manual car is that I would pull up past the block (over it) and it would hold the car in neutral if needed (yes, I still use the brake and park it in gear).

Back in. You have a camera back there. When the light disappears between the wall and the bumper, stop...you have about 2-3 inches of space left.

My garage isn't a tight fit as its more of a barn, but I like having the truck squared to maintain my work space(s). I used reflective caution tape on the floor to mark my outer lines and then have "T" taped out that i line up with my hitch via camera as I'm backing in. The reflective tape is nice because it pops even when I'm backing into a dark garage.

The old tennis ball. 1"-2" in front 24" in back to walk through (scab)

I’m a hanging tennis ball fan but I live several miles beyond pavement so the floor options don’t work with all the muck I carry into the garage during the “mud” season.
