- Detailed how to guide on making wheel cribs. Includes tools needed, how much wood, how many nails/screws, how to cut the wood, how to square the wood, and why use a third board on the 2nd from the top level. Shows why I sized it how I did. How to make wheel cribs. Including how to know how much wood you need.
Forgot to say in the video that, as you can see, 16" fits a small diameter wheel like on the Miata fine and also will work with larger diameter wheels like on a large car, truck, or SUV.
Great video. Recommendation for your back - get a foldable chop saw stand. Probably $150? Maybe less at harbor freight. Fits in the corner, moves on wheels, never have to remove the saw.
Speaking as a previous saw- to-the-idewalk, kneel-and-cutter, you're back will thank you.
Cant wait to make these blocks! Thanks
I gave you a thumbs up just because you can miss a nail with both hands !!
And I like the idea of using this along with a jack stand.
16 and 12 works nice with wheels and 2x4's Started the evening looking at the price of portable scissor lifts. I know what I'm doing in the morning.
Good job. I believe screws are over kill.
You think it would be safe to make those about 14 in tall?
I'm sure there are plenty strong enough the way they are but it's just me but I would glue them also with wood glue outdoor wood glue like tight Bond too but that's just me I'm not judging.
thanks. i want to know if the 2x8 measurements are nominal or real.? thanks for your help
Nice video. If you want perfect square corners, the diagonals have to be the same length.
for nails, what about using a framing gun with framing nails?
Should be fine. The load on these is mostly downward with a little sideways at the top.
Nice video. How did the tire set on the crib when it’s on your Car? Maybe 2inch overall length increase would give you a better wheel chalk under load. Like the jack stand incorporating here
Great instructional! What type of wood did you use? Pine? Rough sawn?
Cheap pine
@@KillobyteHow’s it held up?
@@KINGRG1 They are solid
Would you make them longer for off road tires? Say a 30”-32” tire on a jeep?
I would make them wide enough to ensure they won't tip and that the wheel won't roll off them.
Whats going on with your fingernails?
LOL! I had swirl dipped something earlier: czcams.com/video/YqTcyx_Jzgo/video.html and a can of red spray paint decided to spray everywhere when the nozzle broke. :(
I thought it was blood, I thought you had hit your fingers with the hammer that many times..lol
Good video :o)
I am wanting to make these tire cribs because I need to get under my 2006 Tacoma to replace an output shaft seal on my transmission. I have a 2 wheel drive not a 4x4 pickup.
Question for you please. Have you used your cribs yet and is there plenty of room (without the jack stands) to work under your car?
My truck sets about 7 inches off the ground as is on it's tires, adding these cribs would only bring it up to about 18 or so inches off the the ground. I'm not a young man anymore, I'm 71 years old so do you think that would be room to work on a drive shaft/transmission output seal. I hate these Chinese made metal jack stands and don't trust them as far as I can toss them. The cribs seems safer to use.
Thanks again for making the video. :o)
Everyone is different but 18" is good for me without a creeper. If using a creeper, I'd add the height of it to the cribs. Best of luck! :)
Quick question. My garage has quite a slope. In fact, between the front to the back, there is about a 1 1/2 " difference. Could I just add an extra 2 x 4 x 14 to the bottom of two cribs so that it would hold the car level? So the bottom would have two 2x 2 x 4 x 14 screwed together.
As long as the cribs are still safe from tipping, I THINK that should be fine.
sure . thats a good idea actually, hong long is the grage (do you know the slope angle approx?) if your havent made them by now?
60 nells or screws
Neils*
Those are nice I'm actually a woodworker but all my tools are in storage but anyways I don't feel like I have the patience to make them I guess that's my problem LOL what's "cousin it" in the background helping you?
I thought I heard him talking.
what is the thickness of the wood?
Standard 2”x4”
@@Killobyte 2 inches thick and 4 inches wide, right? I'm from Europe and here we use MM, it's to do the conversion, thanks 😅👍
More like 1-1/2" X 3-1/2".
Holy, you are supposed to hit the nails not your FINGER nails… 😢
I was thinking the same thing lol
Are your fingertips bleeding!?
