oil change bandits are running me off.... 35 bucks for an oil change on my Tahoe is too much... so I'm going back to home done... got some plans for a set of ramps... but before I build I'm wondering

I can slide under my C3 (pickup version of a Yukon) without ramps, but I'm thin. Doing it on a slick concrete garage floor helps. If you're reasonably fit you should be able to slide under the truck

Rather than build ramps, I'd go to Wal-Mart, Pep Boys, etc. and buy a set of Rhino Ramps. They can usually be had for under $20. They are "plastic", but very strong low profile ramps. I use them for

My "pit" is 36" wide, 14 ft. long, and 6 1/2 ft. deep and I just walk down the stairs and do whatever I need to do, have a sliding tray with bottle jacks or use jack stands and remove wheels, best $1

Is there a reason that you aren't just buying car ramps at the autoparts store? I think you'd be hardpressed to beat them in terms of price... Mark

For my money (and ribcage), I'd much rather use jack stands, the ones with cast iron jaws and welded frames. Had a lot of trouble with pre-made ramps sliding on a concrete driveway ... HF sometimes

My experience also. I can't change the oil on my wife's Subaru Forrestor or my GMC half ton 2wd without raising the front end about 6", and the Rhino ramps are just about perfect. The have little rub

One solution I've heard for this (though not tried myself) is to attach a strip of carpet to the bottom part of the ramp, such that the tires drive on the carpet first. Ramps can't slide then.

Hi John, Unless you have a really cheap source for your steel, I would recomend the Rhino Tuff brand of poly ramps. They are rated at 10k and I use the 2 sets I have all the time. They are only about

Where can I get a set of car ramps that I can use with my 1992 Celica GT? The regular WalMart variety that I use with my 1982 and 1983 Corolla SR5s and my 1975 MG Midget have too steep of an incline,

I haven't seen any. I have the same problem with my Accord, Civic, and Mini van. What I've found that works is to place the ramps so they just don't touch the chinpiece. Then I lay a brick (**not** a

My solution is to build your own from scrap 2x10 or 2x8 and thin plywood. stack 3,4 or 5 or however many to get the height you want, vary their lengths to get the effective ramp angle you need, angl

Use the regular ramps, but set some boards down in front of them to lift the car so the chin clears the ramp. 2x4s or 2x6s six or eight inches long will do it. On my lowered Civic this works great. H

About longer ramp car ramps: my father has (had?) a pair of them that were several pieces-the ramp detached easily (3 screws and wing nuts each) to store away. they were around 50% longer than the av

I've been using a set of "Rhinoramps". These are made of black plastic, and have both longer ramps and a slighty lower lifting height than normal ramps. I don't have their # handy, but I can probably
