So I finally got sick of pulling the jack and stands out of my garage for oil changes.
So I bought two 2x8x8 boards and had them cut into 15", 21", 27" and 33" sections. Glued and screwed them together. Viola! $20 ramps that are nice and heavy. Gives 6" of lift, plenty of room for oil and transmission fluid changes.
I will definitely add a block to the end of the top as it's a bit tricky to get MTX cars up the ramp without getting a bit of a headstart (and I totally almost went off the end the first time SO BE VERY CAREFUL!!!). Cutting the boards to a 45 degree angle at the front probably would have helped. I may still do that.
