Easy Ramps for basic Oil change

[Izzy]

I built these ramps and have been using them for some time for oil changes, muffler changes, O2 sensor changes, etc. Can not remember where the idea came from, but it was not mine.

They have worked well for me and I have had some requests for sizes, so here it is.

As with any such item, this is a suggestion and using it is entirely at your own risk. Make sure the car does not roll forward if you back into the ramps.

Looks the ones I built - except I didn't put the stop on the end. Your design looks very good.

What was that about great minds think alike....

Actually, a friend of mine was asking how far back to drive to get the tires on fully, and the idea about using the "waste" piece of wood was borned. I can open my door and look for position, but with the stop is less contortion to the aging spine.

Cheers

I think a similar design was in a "Wordless Workshop" in Popular Science eons ago

At the danger of turning this into a 'show us your ramps post' - here are some that I made from a spare length of 2 x 4 and a bit of ply ...

Mine were custom made to also fit under the front bumper of my car fitted with the Aero package - no commercial ramp I could find (without spending silly money) allowed me to drive up - they always fouled the bumper.

If you're interested in sizes, then drop me a PM and I'll add them to the post ...
