Here is an old shot showing my "helper ramps" and my Rhino Ramps in action:

I c. I suppose u can buy it next season in dat case?

2 angled 2 X 12 boards screwed together plus a hole in the front through which I drop bolt to hold them against the ramp itself....

What if you got a flat tire on a lowered car with bodykit?

Maybe I'll give the 2x12 a shot this weekend. You just severely underestimate my knowledge of angles and how tools work. hahahahahaha

instead of high tech screws you could find some object to bang in a few nails.

Nails can potentially back out over time on thin planks?

I wish I lived in an area where apple trees are tall enough to cause structural damage to a car driving by

Yea, basically. Or just hope whatever current action I take is beneficial enough to just last for the next few seasons.

I guess I will make a run to Lowes this week and grab some wood. Now to find a hand saw and some appropriate screws. haha

Wood glue then?

Leingod · 10-03-2016, 08:53 PM

I got it! Who needs screws or glue when i have gaffers tape!! Just like with the shift knob removal last year!! Just wrap the boards in tape heavily and call it a day!

kenchan · 10-03-2016, 08:54 PM

Uve never seen an apple tree?

Glue requires clamps. Can u handle clamps? Might be high tech..

I actually own clamps. Just have never used them!! And no. The apple trees here aren't high enough for a car to go underneath. 6 ft ladder reaches the top of most.
