Default First oil change featuring wood ramp extensions

Just wanted to share my Memorial day project. Followed other examples online and got some nice wood planks (2x10's) for my rhino ramps. I built it and actually had the ramps on the garage floor, thinking that the carriage pin I used to secure the wood to the plastic ramps would prevent slippage. However, once I tried to roll onto the 'second level' of wood, it slipped
So I relocated the ramps to the edge of the garage where there's a concrete lip and - success!

Mini project done:


I made use of this existing hole in the Rhino ramps to anchor the wood ramps. I slipped a 1/4" carriage bolt through this hole - fit perfect (drilled out the wood and just dropped the bolt in, hammering it snug).




Ready for use:


Okay - step 1


Step 2


And 3! Yay no disaster


Oil change successful

thats cool. on my homemade wood extension for my rhino ramps, i have the extension piece come up higher onto the ramp and screwed down. ive not had to use anything to prevent the entire ramp from slipping.

mine is the gray colored rhino ramp.
