Car ramps

Anyone use car ramps? I have a set of old metal ones that I don't feel safe driving on. I was thinking of going today to get a set of the newer style plastic ones.



Any thoughts or recommendations?



Thanks!

***?!?!?!? I was going to get Rhino at the local parts store for $40! I will have to make the trip to Walmart instead then!



Thanks for the heads up!

I usually see them at Walmart. Also: Pepboyz and Autozone.



Griot's has them for $60 :)

No more Pepboys around here, they all closed down years ago. :( I will try Walmart tonight and if they don't have them then Autozone on the way home. :D
 
I bought a pair of Rhino Ramps a couple of years ago from a local auto parts store. They're great.



I think I paid about $40 for them. If you can get them at Wal-mart for about $20, that would be a great buy!

just make sure the surface you use them on has some grip to them otherwise you'll just be pushing the ramps instead of going on them. ;)
 
Thanks everyone! Got them at WalMart last night for under $19!!!!! The 12,000 pounders were undr $30 too if anyone needs them instead!



Can't wait to use them!
 
I'd love to use the Rhonos, but I need the low-car (I hesitate to call it sports car extensions when being used for my car) extensions in order to get up; Rhino does not offer a similar system.

I just put my old winter (rubber) mats under them to avoid scarring and pushing.
 
I have those ramp too, but it's not too high(total is like 8"). Good for minor work like oil change,tranny fluid change. You can't go under with a Geeper Creeper(lose another 3"). Other then that I dig it, I hate to use jack stand for minor stuffs. Oh well just my 2 cents.
 
Yeah, I needed them to swap my sway bars. The suspension is suppose to be under a load when you put the new sway bars on so these will be perfect I think.

Since we're talking about car ramps, is it safe to use 4 jack stands at once?



(sorry if this is considered a thread jack)



Thanks

As long as they are stable and secure it sure is. I have done it before and a lot of people store their cars this way when they are not going to drive them for a while.
 
Rhino ramps are great for light-duty work. I use them all the time for oil changes. They actually make changing the oil very simple and fun!

Yeah, I was thinking of this last night as well. I hate doing oil changes because I have to drag the jack out, get the jack stand under the car and all of that bull. Just driving up on ramps will be much easier. :D
