Ramps

BoneZ · 08-04-2015, 11:31 AM

I'm looking to get a set of ramps to aid with oil changes and such. I've already seen Kaiser's oil change sticky, but I notice he also doesn't have the extra black plastic spoiler dangle doos either.

Anyone have a suggestion for ramps that might work better than others?

Race Ramps.

Spendy but they work.

Whoah, you ain't joking. Those look fantastic, but way out of my budget.

I made mine out of a couple of 2x6 for less than $15

Make some wood ramps and cribbing blocks that can stack. Works wonders.

Got the idea from here:
Wood cribbing block DIY for raising the car in addition to jack stands | VW TDI forum, Audi, Porsche, and Chevy Cruze diesel forum

The ramps allow me to reach my front and rear jack points, then I raise the car and rest it on the blocks. Rock solid.

I used some Rhino Ramps..

Amazon.com: RhinoGear 11909ABMI RhinoRamps Vehicle Ramp - Pair (12,000lb. GVW Capacity): Automotive

If you have the sport front chin spoiler, it will rub, but meh, who cares about that thing anyway?

I just purchased a set of these tonight. Do they truly get the car high up enough to do an oil change?

Been using these for a year, 4 oil changes no problem!

When space is a premium, a few 2x8, jack and Jack stands work well. They take the least space and get the job done.

I really like the idea, but I feel the same way. I already don't have room for the extra set of wheels I have. These blocks would take up even more space.
