Car ramps

[Alloy Dave]

TG can't use these...they are for Chevys.

Race Ramps

Quite pricey...but if you really need a low set of ramps, here they are.

That is a waste, only 8 inches tall. Hard to fit an average guy under the car even with the height of the car. They should have mafe them a bit longer with a progressive height towards the end. Pretty expensive for a chunck of plastic.

Davey... I'm surprised you didn't go with something like this!

That's what I built for oil changes, but I made a lightweight version with only three steps. Even so, they are heavy but they work good and are inexpensive to make. I wear gloves when moving them around to avoid getting stuck with splinters - ouch!

I was looking at the race ramps but they seemd pretty pricey so I kind of split the difference.

I cut two three foot sections of 2 x 12 then stapled some anti slip matting on the bottom of them (avail from any home store) and this is enough to get my stock height GT500 up a standard set of rhino ramps with no problems.

Lowering the car is in its future but from memory it wasn't real close so will probably still be fine, if not will add another step.

I have wood ramps, but they always want to move around when trying to use them...even w/ grip tape on the bottom.

Gr8SnkBite has the best ramps I have seen in person.

Maybe he can post a picture.

I always use a floor jack and jack stands.
If you have a car thet is lowered than you may need ramps to get the jack under.
You could buy a low profile jack instead.

I sometimes jam a 2 x 4 between the front of the wood ramps and the wheelstop in my garage to keep them still. See the picture I posted above.

That's exactly what I did. It does the job....for now.

I do that too when I rotate my tires from side to side. I use both to spread the load.

Yep got the idea from you actually Grabber!

Why would you advertise a ramp for Camaros and use a Vette in the photos. Looks like something I can do without. I just use dirt ramps. Georgia red clay packs real hard.

I have a recommendation for you.

Go to Target or WalMart and buy a bicycle innertube....preferably the widest one you can get. (heck, a tractor tire tube may be better). Before you buy, take it out of the package and look at the rubber...feel it to ensure it's "sticky"...don't get the one with white flour on it.

Take it home, cut a section out that's the length of your ramp, then slit it so you can unfold it into a rectangle shape. Use some type of adhesive to glue it on the wood.

Voila!

I used this technique for our sofa on our laminated wood floor in the basement. Every time I sat my big butt down the sofa would slide , so I used the rubber and now it's perfect.

I also have Grabberized ramps. Joe, I didn't buy the ones I posted...I was just posting for rich guys like carnut that can afford them since he doesn't have to pay for grass.

at the top their 10" high..14" wide. Yes, a little pricey, but serves my needs. Plenty of room for me to get under and do whatever...even CH53 could fit under the his car on them...hehe

I simply pull the car out a bit..align them to the front or rear..and drive right on...no assist..and they don't slide. I've even had the rear end on them, and the front jacked up on stands.

One of those pics give a whole new meaning to 'tool'.

Paid a total of 25/30 bucks for mine, Wood, I wish I took photos but it's as high as you want it looks something like this. They are heavy but I never move them. I also have the one grabber posted, I prefer the wood ones, more height.
