Rhino ramps

I got a set of Rhino ramps. They are made out of plastic which made me go hmmmmn, but they are rated at 8000 pounds. They work much better then a metal set I have. They have feet that don't slid and the angle of the ramp is better. They were on sale at Pep Boys for $18.

Yea I picked some up about a month ago, for about 17 bucks on sale too. I love them, I can pull the truck up on them bye myself. With metal, ones you would always have to have some body put there foot on the front to keep them from sliding.

My question is why do you need ramps? does your truck ride kinda low?

Well, my bronco is stock, but my brother also uses them for his ranger, and other car projecs.
but hey, that extra 8" or so really helps unless you have a 4" lift or so.

Sorry to hear about the unemployment. A buddy of mine has a pit in the floor of his shop. A lot cheeper that a lift maybe not quite as nice in every situation but beats laying on your back.

Rhino ramps are awesome.. had them for about 4 years now

no problem TILL my neice asked me to change her oil in her Ford Tauras.

As I guided her slowley up the ramps she hit the gas instead of the brakes and that was the end of MR RHINO. She drove right off them.

She cracked both of them as I also had to get the floorjack out and lift up the car cause the were wedged under the car..

Lesson learned.... don't let anyone but yourself on your stuff

Ouch, Yea, I have trouble trusting my brothers with my tools. I don't even let my youngest bro use any of my tools, he is just very hard headed.
