Truck Ramps - Changing Oil

[5030]

Any pictures??

No. I don't consider ramps to be picture worthy.

I bought some (think they're) fiberglass ramps that I use to remove the oil filters on the 2 Mazdas. For the tractor, in most cases, I can park it on the concrete approach that take the vehicles up into the carriage house. Just park with one set of wheels on asphalt and the other set on the ramp.

Rhino Ramps have served me for over a dozen years. I keep them out of direct sunlight though.

Those RaceRamps are the cats meow..
With the cost of a floor jack & jack stands at an all time low at Harbor Freight THATS what I use.
3-4 ton floor jack less than 100.00 & 6 ton jack stands at 30.00..{on sale} ya cant beat it for "general" usage..

I'm a Michigander too but 317 clams for a set of ramps that look just like the ones I built from, .40 retention for about 40 bucks, ain't gonna happen in Deerfield. The Yoopers will have to keep eating smoked fish...... Eh?

I figure my life is worth $317 clams verses some cheap homemade ramps some folks build that fail.Eh?

Have used the 12,000 lb Rhino Ramps for years. No problems.
But my wifes car does rub on them due to the angle. To prevent this I place a small board just before the ramp to get the extra clearance.

I use a set of ramps that Dad got from someone that made them. They cut them out of a set of railroad ties. I've had them probably 15 years he had them I know 15 years and they weren't new then, so they've got to be 40+ years old. They lift my commuter mobile and my 2017 Duramax the same as they lifted Dad's 76 Ford Torino and 78 Chevy K10.
