Default Big discount on Rhino Ramps - car inspection/maintenance ramps

Thought you drag racers might be interested in these to keep on the trailer for quick checks at the track of your car under the engine. Just drive up on the ramps with the front wheels for easy access.

These are now on sale for a limited time only. They are currently $20 off, but use our coupon code to get an additional $10 off plus free in-store pickup. These ramps are one of our favorite things in the garage and help us avoid jacking up the car much of the time. Expires: 03-15-2012 [...]

Anyone buying these ramps? The set we have at home is great for simple car work.

I would buy some but I already have 4 + 2 old metal ones. I have no reason/space to get more but they work great as a mini lift in my garage. Just did a trans swap and they gave me enough clearance and I always bring them to the track. Great thing to have around!

How tall are they, I've been setting the car on concrete blocks about 10-12" tall.

UPDATE: we learned a few hours ago that the new version of the ramps are now available and on sale for almost the same low price as the blowouts of the older model!!!

Are these plastic? I had a set about 6 months old. Had the front of my S-10 on them and was under it changing the fuel filter. Thought I felt the truck move so I got out from under it. One of the ramps broke right where the front curves into the top. Truck didn't fall but it scared the crap out of me. Took them back and got a refund. Wish I would have taken a picture of the ramp that broke.

They are plastic, didn't you say you had a pair of these? I would probably not butt my tire into the front "stop" though if that's what you mean happened.

the old style is apparently sold out, but the new style and coupon code to get them down to $29.99 is now posted on the link in the first post.

Just for F bodies. To get them up on the ramp and hit with the jack saves tons of time and hassle, worth it!
