- I recently picked up a set of Eastwood detachable ramps for the Taco Potato Mustang garage and this week, we’re seeing how they stack up against the ubiquitous Rhino Ramps. I tried out the new ramps with both my 2014 Mustang GT and my Fox Mustang project car. Thanks for watching!

About this Channel:
TacoPotatoMustang is a channel about my adventures in cars. My name is Matt and I'm a car enthusiast. I am currently resto-modding a 1988 Ford Mustang GT and also occasionally working on/modifying my 2014 Mustang GT. While my current garage is comprised of Mustangs, and they are some of my favorite cars, I am a fan of many other cars, and almost all things automotive related. I also write about cars, food, and travel on my blog: tacopotatomustang.com/ - Auta a dopravní prostředky
I had issue with the Rhino scrapping the front lip as well. It was just a hair too tall.
2x4 wheel cradles. Make them as high as a good jack can go. All four wheels. Have enough room to pull a tranny out.
Thanks for the suggestion, Funky. I’ve thought about trying something like this eventually. How does it work as far as getting the car onto multiple cradles? Seems like it would be unstable when you have one cradle in place and are trying to get another side/wheel up. 🤔
Just don't forget to reattach the other half before backing off. That could ruin your weekend.
Seriously. Definitely worth constant reminders. 😳
Nice review im looking into getting car ramps myself for oil changes I also have basically the same two cars you have I have a 2011 5.0 and 1990 5.0 lx hatchback two of my favorite mustang generations
Thanks! Nice combo. I love the LX 5.0s.
Hey bud, after living with them for a while are they high enough for oil changes? Got a 2022 GT!
I think they work well enough for oil changes, assuming your 2022 is not significantly lower than my 2014. Getting to things a little further back from the engine bay - I think you would need to use a jack/jack stands in addition to the ramps, if that makes sense.
how much height do you get with these ramps? I was thinking about getting something like this so I can put on a front splitter on my car.
Do you have to drop any part of the bumper or anything crazy like that? I think it would be sufficient for putting a splitter on a Mustang but I don’t know the height off the top of my head. Could try to measure when get some garage time soon.
@@TacoPotatoMustangyeah it is just unscrewing 10 10mm bolts from underneath the car, placing the splitter in, screwing the 10 10mm bolts back in, and then for added security, a total of 8 self tapping screws in.
Need to remove the alternator out of my 18 SS Camaro its b#*% shop wants 1200 and everybody’s telling me to buy race wraps which is 500 its crazy thanks for the video gonna look it up. Oh by the way bacon King always. Lol nice stang brotha
Thanks David! I’m not sure on the clearance needed for removing a Camaro alternator but I would also be looking for alternatives to paying $1200. Now I’m craving some Burger King, lol.
Safety third!
