    Thank you after watching this video, I was able to buy Rhino Ramps and was able to change oil on my 2013 Toyota highlander and 2017 Camry both with no issue. I said bye bye to people to places trying to charge me almost $100 for fully synthetic oil changes. Got Mobile fully synthetic oil and OEM oil filter for less than $35 5 quarts imagine that?. These Rhino Ramps totally worth the money and they are well built. I use Jack stands as well for safety as well.

      Is it possible the the car might sit too low for it to properly drive up on the ramps? I am on the wait list for the new M2 and was hoping to install a front splitter but I think the ramp may be too tall and prevent the car from rolling up.

  • @makeminefreedom
    @makeminefreedom 6 років тому +9

    These ramps are perfect. I recommend them highly especially for small and medium sized cars. The extended runoff area at the top of the ramp helps prevent you from dropping off the end of the ramps. They give you plenty of room to remove your oil filter and change your oil especially for low to the ground vehicles. I was totally surprised at how much room I had to work. I purchased the higher weight capacity just to give me an extra measure of safety.

      They are rated based on the weight of your vehicle. If your tractor weighs the same or less than the rated weight you will be good. Just be sure to chalk your wheels and lock your handbrake.

      The best thing to do and not to stress the transmission is once the car is up on the ramps, put the car in neutral and slowly release the brake pedal. if everything is good then the car will stay on the ramps in neutral. only then you can apply the hand brake and park. By the way, this man almost got off the ramps. He doesn't have the feel for it.

      Ramps are meant to be used as a set of two. You wouldn't be able to put the ramp in between the front and rear tires unless you have a truck or suv which the tires would give clearance to the ramps. However, I've seen people get it up on four tires by jacking up the car and placing the ramps below the tires.

Also, note that the total weight of your vehicle will not be on the ramps. Be advised the ramps may break if there are defects in the plastic. Many have used them without incident.

      I think if you wedge the ramp into your tire it shouldn't slide unless you're on a polished floor. Most of the time people don't wedge the ramps onto the tires. Instead they roll onto the ramps which may cause you to push the ramps with fast acceleration.

      No, no I do not. If you feel uncomfortable don't use the ramps. Use something else like jacks stands. Also, don't use if you see cracking or any defects in the plastic.

    does anyone know what the minimum height from the ground to the bottom of your front bumper should be to ensure you can get up the ramps?

      Arts&Trusts I guess the height of the ramp... which is 8.5 inches. If your front bumper (or rather the arch in front of the wheels) is higher than this then you're ok.

      That does make a huge the difference. I just bought a pair of ramps and had to take them back because my truck being a RWD would not go up before they just slid right out from under. What I ended up doing temporarily was to raise the truck with a jack and place the ramps directly underneath. Fortunately, I have a jack that would lift it high enough, but I doubt that that would work with a jack that has less than a 2 ft. lift, or if the vehicle has a lift kit on it.

      sliding is not an issue if the ramps are wedged under the tires before the climb. Low bumper and /or hard summer tire may push the ramps though.

    Wow, seriously, be careful with those things. I have an original set (the ones that weren't stackable) and bought a new one like the ones you have here when I needed a second set, and on my first use I pulled my Taurus up on them to change the oil and right before I was going to get under it I heard a CRUNCH! and the driver's side one crumbled and one of those blocks separated by the seams in the surface just crumbled and ripped off dropping the car and the rest of the ramp bent up the fender. I'm REALLY lucky I wasn't under the car at the time. I have pictures of it.
    The originals are nothing like that. I've had a roll back tow truck with my car on it on them (helping get the angle right to drop the car from my sloped driveway right into the garage) with no signs of problems, I trust them, the new ones are junk, and there are a bunch of similar stories about them and how the company has been bought out and there is no one to reach to complain about the new ones.
