      I use them a lot more than I expected. The obs is now too low to get a jack under the front end. Lol

    Thanks a lot. I was thinking of making something like this, and you just confirmed its doable and also the idea how to make them.
    For me this is actually best video, because its the most simplest, and I wanted very simple approach.

    seems like you could go less than 16 inches especially after the first step so you could at least get 1 more board in height. you could get away with a foot for last step as angle of car goes up.

    • @Blakes-Garage
      @Blakes-Garage  Рік тому

      Yea I did that size to I could get 3 out of a board. I was worried about how low the front splitter is. I do need at least 1 more board to really get under there.

    An easier and stronger way to install the end stops is to screw on a vertical piece to the front face of the ramps, with the grain running vertically. 2 screws near the top and only 1 is needed at the bottom. Mine projects about 4" above the parking top and gives a very definite stop to the tires.

    • @Blakes-Garage
      @Blakes-Garage  9 місяців тому

      If I had more material I would have. If I ever make them taller I will probably put a better stop on them. 4 inches would hit my bumper for sure though!

    Three more and with 6th you're good to go. And the longest one you can make shorter for a bit. I would add at least two more, for sure.

    Hey Blake, excellent video, thanks for sharing, I'm going to take your lead and I might go 4 layers deep with the boards and I think that might get me under my C7 Z06 safely so I can change my own oil and such! Great idea and this certainly is a great deal less expensive than the race ramps which virtually look about the same as far as design. I really like the fact that you utilized the corner triangular piece as your tire stopper too! Great idea. Thanks again and happy motoring!

    • @Blakes-Garage
      @Blakes-Garage  6 місяців тому

      Glad the video helped! If I were to build another set, I would go a little shorter on each section and do probably 2 more layers. Can't go too short on the sections or it's too tall too fast and hits your bumper. I use these things way more than I thought I would. The OBS is too low now for standard ramps, so they get used there as well.

    I was looking for something easy to make for my lowered S2000 and this worked out very well. Saved some time by making 4 angled cuts. Thanks for this!
