One thing I learned when doing mine was about the shear wall. I'm sure the codes are similar in Ohio as to Indiana, but you have to have a certain % of the door wall a solid wall vs. doors. Since I was going with 2 doors, I ended up having to go with narrow doors and put a lot of space between them for the shear wall. The Z goes in fine, but on my Ridgeline, I've got about 1/2" clearance on each side of the opening for the mirrors. Just something to keep in mind.

I did have the option of going narrower on the wall between the doors, but it involved a lot of steel, extra thick concrete, and a whole bunch of money.
