I never had ramps till a couple of years ago, when I hit a sale on the heavy
Rhino Ramps, and I love them. It's far faster than jacking and then
adjusting and inserting the jackstands, then carefully lowering the vehicle
onto the stands, and then jacking the vehicle up again and retrieving the
stands once the job is done.
Like everyone else I've shot my ramps out a time or two, but only with the
Suburban when I didn't put it into 4WD. The Cobra and Midget go up very
cooperatively, of course without any benefit of 4WD. Some long strips of
carpet or even some long lengths of webbing would be nice for assurance
though.
Never tried the Model T on them though - it's high enough without ramps
;-)
