the first thing is to deterem is what you want in the walls. like cat 5 e cable for computers, you may not want a computer in the G , then again you may. it would be easer to look up truck info if you had a computer in the G. then the electrical wiring should have each wall on a separate breaker and an outlet on every other stud. plan to put a 4 ft florescent light hanging down so in tights under the hood. use 12 ga wire not 14 ga just to be safer. if you put a breaker box in the G use plywood above and below the breaker box and mount them with screws so you take them down to make changes to the wiring. also plan to put some outlets on the outside of the G. after you do the wiring take some pictures of it, so if you have to drill holes you will know where not to drill. you might even take some mesurment and mark the pictures. then use 1/2 plywood on the rest of the walls. this will let you hang heavy stuff almost any where. these things are what my dad did years ago, hes gone now, and to this day any time iam in the G i can close my eyes grab a cable, then point it to a wall and there will be an outlet very close to where iam pointing, and i thank my dad. also use a oil base paint it holds up much better

Try OSB particle board on the walls with a good oil base white paint. When you get pissed off and throw a wrenchit wontput a holein the wall!!!

If your cutting particle board to put up, BE CAREFUL, its toxic. i think thats what i heard anyway?
