Now that we're in our new place, I have to come up with a better way to change my oil. Before my driveway had one of those double radius curbs you drove over to get on and off your driveway. I used to put one wheel on that, then the other on a couple of 2 X 6's. And I was good to go.
Now my driveway is flush with the street, (thank God). Plus my garage is much bigger, so I'm going to do my oil changes inside from now on. The floor is Epoxy coated, so any drips will wipe up easily without staining. But it's also a bit slick. So I don't want something a rear wheel drive vehicle will push along the floor. What I need are a pair of good ramps.
Ramps are like women. There are really good one's. Mediocre one's. And many are nothing but a cheap disaster waiting to happen. What are you guys using? And perhaps more importantly, which one's have you ended up cussing at and threw out? (Or gave to someone you didn't like). I want a set that will accommodate all 3 vehicles. 2018 Toyota Camry. (Very little ground clearance, with plastic trim everywhere that can get easily damaged). 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee. And my old 1991 F-150.
I hate buying these things because they're big, usually heavy, and 99.9% of the time they are just laying around taking up space. And like most tools, if you use the wrong one's, you'll end up screwing something up worse. But when you need them you have to have them.
