two peices of wood FTMFW...

$150! :O
thats alot to pay for an incline plane

yikes - they look bulletproof, but that's a lotta dough.  +1 for the 2x4 method

Looks good but price is to high...

ill have to agree with everyone....these are a bit steep in price for my blood but they look like a good product

for that price you can make your own custom ones

I got some from Pep Boys about a month ago for around $30 I think but I dont know if the Accord can go on em yet, they're perfect for the Sentra though.

This was discussed in my local forums, but more for unloading lowered cars from trailers: http://www.houston-imports.com/forums/s ... p?t=519485 (http://www.houston-imports.com/forums/showthread.php?t=519485)

And this is the reason why you shouldn't use 2x4's for loading cars lol:

From what i've read on my local forum, apparently these are really nice ramps and are light weight as well, but if your just loading onto a rack (like in the OP's link), then 2x4's seem fine

omg!! i can't believe they even risked that with that carrera gt.......idiots

I built some that were 40 inches long that gave a 8" lift. It was able to accommodate a car that is 5" off the ground.
We bolted a 10x2 to the bottom after the pics and some suggestions. They cost a total of $40.00 They are very secure and will not do what the Porsche did.

^^^i saw those on another thread....looks pretty good but i wouldn't need anything that high...i may consider replicating  something similar to this

Those ramps look like a rip off.  Just get a few 2"x6"s

someones gonna have to make the homedepo diy

Guys this guide is great for making your own car ramps.  I used to use these and they worked great!

ill admit those look safer than the other diy wood ramps....but there is no way in hell you can transport those in your car if needed.....hahaha

 

Yeah that's why they got left behind when I moved.  Haven't gotten around to making a new pair yet.

I got a set of Rhino ramps at pep boys like 5 years ago and never let me down while I was at home...now my dad uses them for his trucks :)

That's basically the same thing that I did except mine are higher and I mitered the edges to make the transition from board to board smoother.

or you could get the Rhino ramps I have, which were like $40 bucks, they elevate the car 10" and have a very low incline so most lowered cars can get on NP

^^^do you have a link??  thx in advance

You can get the Rhino ramps at any auto parts store. I got mine for about that price 4 years ago.

i got my rhinos @ walmart

cool thanks guys

Got mine at Autozone for $34.99 i think.

Yeah I got some like that a couple months ago but they arent Rhino.  I wish mine had a lower incline cuz they're perfect for the Sentra but when I tried them with the Accord a week ago the front lip hits the ramp about 6" before it gets to the tire. Layin down a 2x4 on each side may do the trick though which is what I had to do in order to get enough clearance for my floor jack.

I usually have 2x4's or 2x6's in case floor jacks aren't low enough.

Tim, if your car is anything like it was last weekend, I don't think any jack with a higher profil than 2"'s is getting under your car, LOL.

My floor jack fits just fine under my car.
