DIY car ramp
If you don't want to spend the couple hundred bucks to buy the low profile car ramps then build your own!

Anybody build the ramps yet? How much was lumber? I plan on building them in a week or two. I think I'll just buy 3 2"x10's and shorten the distance between each section. Per the plan you'd need 34' of wood but I think I'll modify them a tad.

Great idea! I guess having a Mustang that breaks down all the time makes for some serious inspiration!

Keep us posted on the latest lumber prices. I'm guessing ~$60 for everything. And yes I just made up that number...

I wonder how heavy these ramps will be?

I just bought a 12,000 lb set of ramps at Autozone. I used a $10 discount coupon and got them for $35.00.
