Built a set of car ramps for my Tahoe and other cars - Video

[Kenneth L Nielsen]

Had a little time on my hands so I built a set of ramps to make rolling under the Tahoe a little easier. Good project for an excuse to get out to the shop for a couple of hours






Here is a quick video if you are interested in making a set for yourself.

Thanks for the info and video. My big fat ass would need maybe 3 more levels.

Nice DIY project

I guess they don't make the black plastic ones like they used to. I've had a set for 15-20 years and use them on cars, trucks, mini-vans.

I did make a 2-tier wood set out of 2x12s about 3 feet long to use under my car trailer loading ramps to keep my lowered mustang from dragging when loading.

Those things are heavy and I can onky imagine how much a higher tiered one would weigh.... Lol

Those look nice. I made my first set of ramps like this when I was in college and needed to replace the brake lines to the rear of my ‘76 Impala. I didn’t have any jack stands so I went to one the many ever-present construction sites and grabbed a pile of 2x10’s. Had one for front and rear driver side tires and put the front passenger tire up on the curb in the angled parking spot I had. Worked great but not as refined as yours.

They do. Rhino Ramps is the most common brand.

I went all-out and built these....


...mainly for the Passat, but sure do help when working on the Yukon.

Now that is some heavy duty ramps right there.

That Sir is a fire hazzard....JK - very nice - only down side is how much room they take - but if you do a lot of work on cars very much worth it!

Added a couple mods to the ramps based upon good feedback received!
