WTBorrow Rhino Ramps
 
Anybody, have a pair of ramps?

I have a set of 4 of the plastic ramps that walmart sells. I've had the front of my car up on them to change the oil. If that's what you need let me know.

I have a set of two that are so big, they're only good to back up onto for an Impreza (unless you get creative with 2x4's or something). Can bring to work downtown tomorrow if you want.

Yea, I just need them to roll up onto for an oil change in a car that my jack won't fit under. Where you located at?


Thanks Cody, but I have a set of those, that my friend used to use with his truck and they are too much of a pain to try and used in the Suby...

My car is too low to get the rear ramps in, I just drive up onto the front set and change my oil, works fine. Not sure if they are the same thing cody has, if they will still work for you just let me know. I should be around the house (around plumb and arlington) in the afternooon.

Sweet. Will around 1:30 work for you? I can come by and grab them and then return them early friday...

You know if you drive the front wheels up on some 2x4's, you can fit a jack under there and use jackstands instead of ramps.

Yea, but I am working on a friends Miata and I haven't done it before, so I was just thinking it would be quicker and less stressful to just roll up on some ramps and change the oil...

Well, my car tended to push the rams around on the floor rather than drive up 'em... usually leading to crooked ramps and tires half hanging off 'em... it took more time to get on the ramps than it did to do whatever job I was getting on the ramps to do.

So, now I just put the whole car up on 4 stands so it's level and drain away.

Actually, more accurately, I put it up on stands and install a new motor instead of changing the oil. :unamused:

I dont think I will make it down there today Nick...but I appreciate the offer. I think I will have to just run it up on 2x4's and jack it up...thanks again.
