THE BUILD

ABOUT
Fide’s Garage started with one goal — learning how to work on my own vehicles. What began with basic maintenance and DIY repairs grew into a passion for automotive electrical work, installations, troubleshooting, modifications and real-world product testing. Today, I’m documenting the transformation of my 2011 F-150 into a capable overland and adventure truck.
My content follows the entire process — successful installs, unexpected problems, repairs, lessons learned and how each upgrade performs once it leaves the garage. From truck mods and honest product reviews to camping, overlanding and outdoor adventures, everything is built, tested and actually used.
BUILD IT. TEST IT. USE IT.
