Most of the work I do on my car (plugs, belts, ATF, etc) doesn't require jacking the car up, but oil changes do require jacking the car due to the rearward location of the oil filter. I've looked into jacks/stands, but I personally felt like ramps would be a safer option. However, I wasn't really too pleased with the construction of the plastic Rhino Ramps, so I thought about building some of my own with 2x10 (1.5 inch x 9.5 inch) lumber. 10-foot pieces of 2x10 go for about $10, so it seems like a strong yet cost effective option than something like Race Ramps.
Something like this, but a bit shorter (maybe 8 inch gaps in between levels instead of 12, with the top level being 18" instead of 24").
Has anyone on ATG built their own ramps before? If so, how did they work out?
