Okay, so, I’ve been messing around with cars for a while now, and I gotta say, getting under them can be a real pain. I mean, I love tinkering, but sometimes you just need more room, right? That’s where these SUV ramps came into play. I decided to get a pair, and let me tell you, it’s been quite the experience.
First off, I had to figure out what kind of ramps to get. There are so many options out there! Steel, plastic, even some fancy hydraulic ones. I started by checking the weight of my SUV. You gotta make sure the ramps can handle it, you know? Then there’s the whole ground clearance thing. My SUV sits pretty high, so I needed ramps that could give me enough lift. I went to a few stores, looked at a bunch of different ramps, and compared prices.
- Checked my SUV’s weight.
- Considered the ground clearance.
- Looked at different ramp materials.
I finally settled on a pair of steel ramps. They looked sturdy, and the reviews were pretty good. Plus, they weren’t too expensive, which is always a bonus. Getting them home was the first challenge. These things are heavy! I managed to wrestle them into my garage, though.
Next, I had to actually use them. I lined them up in front of my SUV’s tires, made sure everything was secure, and slowly drove up. It was a bit nerve-wracking at first, but the ramps held up great. Once I was up, I put the car in park, set the parking brake, and chocked the back wheels, just to be safe.
Now, here’s the best part. I had so much room to work under the car! Changing the oil was a breeze. I could actually move around and reach everything easily. It was a total game-changer. I even managed to do some other maintenance work that I had been putting off.
After I was done, I just backed down the ramps, no problem. I cleaned them off and stored them in the corner of my garage. They’re a bit bulky, but definitely worth the space they take up.
The result
Honestly, I’m so glad I got these ramps. They’ve made working on my SUV so much easier and safer. If you’re thinking about getting some, definitely do your research and pick the right ones for your vehicle. It’s an investment that’s totally worth it!
