My car is a 5.5 gen, and that's why it's here and would get more traffic. Anyway, enjoy!

I might add another plank, to get a little bit more height. With the Creeper, I fit all the way through. Without it, I can lay there all day.

 

 

 

wow, great job!

 

this is nice I might have to make one for my garage...

 

Good job, nicely done!

 

lol thats a good idea. I have ramps but my car is too low to drive up them, we jack up one wheel then wedge the ramp in, then the next wheel, then drive it up... huge pita... I am definitely making something like this, Im going to try and make it a little taller though..

great job!! FTW

 

Wow, awesome work! Great idea!

 

I like the idea of having the extra piece to add, so that you can back it up and get all the wheels lifted.

This guide would have been nice last weekend... was trying to replace fuel filter on my dad's miata. The sides are too low for ramps, so I backed it up onto one ramp, then jacked up the front with a floor jack, then used a scissor jack on the front control arm, a trick I learned from Jime, to get the front tire high enough to wedge a ramp under it.

Your way seems so much easier and better!

 

Just to add, they're not light by any means. If anyone wants to attempt this with Balsa wood, you will save some weight there.

 

All those pictures to show how you drove up onto some 2x10's?

 

Its still creative...

 

Wait till you see my "How to put gas in your car" thread.

 

holy crap...if you put 93 gas in...I'm gonna flip out!!!!!

 

I still havent properly figure that one out

 

that looks sick! nice max bro looks like one bad@$$ ramp

 

thats a good idea, but makes me nervous. dont die

 

Great idea. Thanks for taking the time to share. As for the too many photos comment, more information is better than less. Never hurts to over-do it just a bit.

 

well where is it already?? my car's been dead in the parking lot for months now, i need the how to!! chop chop!!

 

dude its in the all motor section

 

That's a lot of wood planks to stack, and stack, and stack...

...but it sure is clever. I think they built the pyramids this way.

 

*stealing this Idea*

 

honestly, i think im gonna check. if that thread really exists, i think i might kill myself.

 

 

Rather than driving your car up from the front than adding the ramps to the front to be able to reverse... why not just have the same set that you made in the front and make an exact same one. Place both ramps in front of the wheels and drive up that way?
Rather than driving up, put the attaching ramp to the front, than add ramps behind ur rear wheels and reverse on those..? Just curious. I might do this but just wondering why you added double sets in the front?

 

It's because he's dropped. The sides of the car are the lowest part, lower than the front or the back. He probably doesn't have enough ground clearance to fit the ramps in front of the rear tires, so he has to do it like that.

 

That makes sense, whoops. Blonde moment. lol

 

Btw- What's up with that motor sittin on the side? How's the project doing?

 

Couldn't have said it better myself.

It's going. I'm working on it as I get free time on my hands, which is scarce these days. Next off will be the timing chain covers and components. My new Brian Crower 264/264 cams came in today, so that's a plus.

 

Won't help me at all. You can't pump yopu own gas in NJ.

Which really sucks cause now you get to watch the moron splash gas on your paint.

 

Great idea! But I would not attempt this with Balsa wood as it has a low density. You will surely compact the Balsa wood and find the car sitting lower everytime you use them.

Weight really shouldn't be an issue unless you have to hang these on the wall to store them. Other than that, man up!

 

Question...did the parking concrete bump come with your house or did you put that in?

I see, based on the way these work one would need something to stop the wood ramps from moving forward when going up the first time. For you, the concrete bump does the job.

 

it was part of his garage, it definitely comes in handy...

 

add a few more 2x10's and you can walk under a car like a lift. LOL

on a side note, i did the same except with 2x6's, didn't have 2x10 on hand.

 

I couldn't get on my steel ramps either until I put a length of 2x10 in front of the ramp. When I drive up on the 2x10, I can keep going up the steel ramp.

 

This was a very interesting idea. Good job OP.

 

nope they didnt

 

I think we need a How To.

 

Nice job, cause sometimes you think twice of going under youre car

 

Maybe Im missing the point of this but wouldnt a floor jack and jackstands be simpler?
