Race Ramps

flashburn · 11-26-2010, 06:00 AM

I copied Will's design here:

Those are 2x10's. Total cost for screws + wood was a little over $20.

Oh, I did not know that they were actual ramps. I was thinking of helper steps in order to get on the actual ramps without scraping the bottom. The idea I was thinking of was from this thread from G35 Driver:

DIY Low Profile Ramps - great for changing oil on lowered g's - G35Driver

Wooden ramps may be cost effective if 3-inches high is all you need. But if you want a 10" high ramp that you can safely work under with a 2-piece design that is easy to transport and store, you won't find a better alternative than Race Ramps.

If you build a 10" high ramp out of 2 x 10s you are likely to break your back trying to lift it and there is no way you are going to transport it in your car.

I am sure a lot of people who get Race Ramps have buyer's remorse, especially when their spouse finds out how much they cost. But after you have used them once a big smile will spread across your face and you will be the envy of your car club buddies.

Buyer's remorse? Zero, nada, zip as I've never owned a finer ramp. Also, how do you get a floor creeper around the side of the wooden ramps?

Fred, any Black Friday specials your way?

I just lowered all of the Race Ramps prices yesterday. Those prices are good until the manufacturer publishes a new price list (possibly in February). The Flatstoppers are $20 off my regular price through 17-Dec-2010.

Just looked at prices of the race ramps + extenders $208 + $119 + S&H = $327 + S&H I think it comes out to almost 400 bucks. Gonna try the build my own extenders cuz I already have the rhino ramps. I don't see the hole though where that guy put the bolt through. Or dig a ditch in my yard lol.

Our price for the one piece RR-56 ramps plus Xtenders is $187 + $107 = $294 including S&H. If you can wait a couple of weeks, the RR-65-2 2-piece 2-stage incline Race Ramps with the integrated XTenders will be about the same price. Price TBD, but, I expect the street price to be no more than $300 including shipping.

See the drawings at this link or on my website.
