When you take into consideration that a jack stand plus a jack can set you back $200 (even $60 for a cheap car ramp) compared to $20 for the lumber and one weekend, it's not too bad of a trade-off.

Thanks for sharing. These certainly look safer than the plastic ones you can buy.

This is exactly what I was after. Much appreciate showing your blueprint with all the numbers in one place.

Ranger's are great little truck! Never get rid of that 94!

Nice job, and like others said, nice truck! I went earlier and picked up a non-treated 2x8x12 (store bought, so I know the measurements are less than that...) from Lowes for $10. I cut it in half, then cut each half into a piece 20" long, 22" long and 32" long, so only 3 layers thick. I also used wood glue and screws on each layer. The bottom board I left a little longer thinking that once the wheels got on that board that it would hold the ramps down before climbing onto the other 2... maybe it was unnecessary, but they work great. I use them with my Super Duty with the 6.7 engine. My front end is about 4800 lbs so I wanted solid wood ramps that won't bend or break. It gives me just a little bit of lift to help the oil pan drain a little better. I can also use them to change a tire on my tandem axle camper if needed. I also drilled a hole through them and put some rope through it so they have a handle which makes them easier to carry, and to guide or snatch them from under the trucks front end. I was going to go with the 10" wide, but I figured I would try the 8" and it works fine on mine. I had everything except the board, so $10 all in is perfect!

Have you thought of making them for all four tires then you can pull up on them simultaneously and have your entire truck up off the ground, that's what I did makes it sweeeeeeet when using a creeper, I have a 2000 F350. 👍👍

I bought my rhino ramp’s awhile back but I’ve noticed that they are starting to get cracks and showing signs of ware. B.C (before Covid) prices they were like $50. Now the same ramps are around $70. I have seen people make their own and i figured i would give it a try. Great video and what a beauty of a truck bro!

In 1928 the SKILSAW Model E was invented by Art Emmons.[3] The Model E equipped with an 8-inch blade, It was the world’s first portable circular saw.[4] This saw's invention also spurred the use of worm drive gearing, a dual-field motor, and die-cast aluminum motor housing. In 1937, its successor, the SKILSAW Model 77, became the benchmark of portable saws,[5] along with the SKILSAW Model 87 circular saws, and it continues to be used on job sites across the United States.

Down here in Texas right now a 2x10 is $25. A box of screws is $10. You put handles with special screws. I'd go with Casters (lil wheels). So all in all it would cost me $122, in materials. And right now I don't have any 2 x 10s laying around the property. So the price is a lil steep for me. I'll stick with the Rubber/plastic Ramps I got for $49. No cracks yet, I'll keep my fingers crossed. Nice Video.

@@NorthShoreOverland Thanks buddy

Thanks for the video. I have 3 questions.. i am just confirming the wood thickness is actual 2inch and not the standard 1.5 inch? .Then you are actually raising the truck 10 inch.. that's kind of high for a truck that's already lifted. Just curious but what would require such height to access?.. And my last question is you mention in the comments that you used Red Pine as that's what you had available but wouldn't recommend it.. Any particular reason?... I was asking these questions because in my country they actually cut the wood to actual 2 inch thickness and i was debating whether to go 8 inch (4 levels) high vs 10 in high. I decided to go 8 inch because i just needed for underbody inspections, suspension lubrications and oil changes. I also was going 12 inch wide vs 10 inch as well to give me an inch on either side of the tire. In terms of wood , it's not cheap here but equivalent or cheaper than buying the plastic ramps. I have to choose between pitch pine or mahogany.. Anything else is more expensive. The pine cost is about 30% less i e. 85$US vs 120$US. So i was thinking of going with the pine.. That's why i was asking why you don't recommend the pine.

@NorthShoreOverland

Жыл бұрын

Thanks! I just went 10 inches to give me lots of room for washing underneath. You can do 8 and if you find it's not enough, just add one more board! As for pine, I just meant I didn't recommend it as in "don't go out of your way to find some just because that's what I used". In my country, douglas fir would be the cheaper option. Good luck!

Aren't you concerned that the ramps might deform a bit when the wood starts to dry? What about getting termites etc.. in your ramps too?... Right now i have mine stacked on the patio air drying before i sand, termite treat and seal before build the ramp. Hoping a 1- 2 months in that situation will dry it out enough.

@NorthShoreOverland

10 ай бұрын

They were 8 foot boards

If that lumber is store bought then 5 layers won't be 10 inches. 2x lumber is only 1.75 inches thick. 1.75 x 5 = 8.75. I used 2x 10 rough cut lumber and build the stand part of the system 6 layers tall, 24 inches long, with the top layer 2 inches short. I then cut a section of 2x into a wedge to attach to the top of stand as a stop for the tire. I then built 5 ft ramps with angled support pieces for under the 5 ft 2x10 with the top 2 inches longer than the ramp part. Set the ramp onto the stand so the 2 inch overhang on the ramps fit onto the 2 inch notch on the stand. Drill a 3/8 inch hole through the ramp into the stand, drop a 5/16 bolt into the hole so it keeps the ramp from slipping off the stand. This set up let's you remove the ramps so they aren't in the way when working under the vehicle. These work well with most vehicles, some cars may be a bit low so you may need a couple of 2x10 pieces to drive the car up on them set the ramps up at the end of these 2x10 pieces. Might even need 4 pieces to get low cars high enough.
