Default Make your own low car ramps

I made a set myself with some pressure treated lumber from Lowes.

Cheap and Easy, just like your sister.

The only disadvantage is that you wont be able to sue anyone when you hurt yourself.

So dont attempt this project unless you like to take responsiblity for you own actions.

That ramp is too high for us cars that only ride only a few inches off the ground.
If we use longer pieces of lumper, than the one shown, its not going to be cheap.
1" x 6" x 8' is like what...$5.00 ? And probably 6 pieces will be needed to lift it up 6" So thats about $30 of lumber there.

I got your gas money to drive over here that says it will work on your car.

The reason I built these is because my LS1 camaro was too low for a normal ramp. So this is built for low cars.

The longest peice is 2.5 - 3 feet long. It has fit every car I have used them on. You have lowered your car into uselessness if you cant drive up an inch thick piece of wood. Each peice is 1.5 inches thick.

I cannot remember the total cost, but you cant bitch about $30. Come on now. I see you 240 guys spending hundereds of dollars on turbos, but $30 for a ramp is too much...

$30 aint shit when it actually lasts. Construction sites kick ass, theres always something you can use there.
