Thanks for sharing. These certainly look safer than the plastic ones you can buy.
When you take into consideration that a jack stand plus a jack can set you back $200 (even $60 for a cheap car ramp) compared to $20 for the lumber and one weekend, it's not too bad of a trade-off.
This is exactly what I was after. Much appreciate showing your blueprint with all the numbers in one place.
Glad you found it helpful!
This ended up costing me $166.67 😅. Just went for the 4 2x10x8s and 2 handles to carry them. 🤷🏼♂️ Walked over to the 70% off lumber cart. Found five 1x12x10s to use for elevated raised garden bed and 2 other boards. Paint section had discounted Anti-Slip Floor Paint for $10 for a gallon. I had to try that and likely on the ramps (says, “Ideal for Wood…”). Liquid Nails Extreme Heavy Duty and four 8” plastic planters for the lemon balms to keep flies off back porch.
Thank you for showing this build. If the Ramps work out 🤞🏼, they’ll be used daily at the used car lot I’ve been working at. Some cars have all that plastic or felt protection underneath that jack and jackstand placements get funky. Thanks again 🙏🏼
Awesome! And they will last forever! I'm thinking of making 2 more so I can lift my whole truck at once.
@@NorthShoreOverland thinking of doing the same. Got the first set together this morning.
Nice job, and like others said, nice truck! I went earlier and picked up a non-treated 2x8x12 (store bought, so I know the measurements are less than that...) from Lowes for $10. I cut it in half, then cut each half into a piece 20" long, 22" long and 32" long, so only 3 layers thick. I also used wood glue and screws on each layer. The bottom board I left a little longer thinking that once the wheels got on that board that it would hold the ramps down before climbing onto the other 2... maybe it was unnecessary, but they work great. I use them with my Super Duty with the 6.7 engine. My front end is about 4800 lbs so I wanted solid wood ramps that won't bend or break. It gives me just a little bit of lift to help the oil pan drain a little better. I can also use them to change a tire on my tandem axle camper if needed. I also drilled a hole through them and put some rope through it so they have a handle which makes them easier to carry, and to guide or snatch them from under the trucks front end. I was going to go with the 10" wide, but I figured I would try the 8" and it works fine on mine. I had everything except the board, so $10 all in is perfect!
Perfect! Glad I could help. If you wanted Higher you could just buy another 10$ board and add a few layers too. These will last you a lifetime!
Nice job on them ramps, and nice newer Ranger pickup! I still have my small black ‘94 Ranger I bought new. It’s been a really good truck!
Ranger's are great little truck! Never get rid of that 94!
Used your template worked perfect ! Thanks for posting made it pretty simple to build
Nice! Glad I could help!
Have you thought of making them for all four tires then you can pull up on them simultaneously and have your entire truck up off the ground, that's what I did makes it sweeeeeeet when using a creeper, I have a 2000 F350. 👍👍
I bought my rhino ramp’s awhile back but I’ve noticed that they are starting to get cracks and showing signs of ware. B.C (before Covid) prices they were like $50. Now the same ramps are around $70. I have seen people make their own and i figured i would give it a try. Great video and what a beauty of a truck bro!
Thank you! Yes, definitely worth making a set. And they will last forever compared to the plastic ones.
One of my rhino Ramos just cracked due to my brothers truck. I told him he can keeper and I'm going to make my own using this method
I trust using solid wood ramps instead of plastic ramps.
I know this is totally off the subject but man that its a beautiful area were you live, those trees look beautiful.
Thanks! Eastern Canada. New Brunswick.
Set your "scale saw" to 45º when cutting the boards to length and you will have 45s on two boards with one cut.
Great tip! ..... yea I know... Circular saw haha
In 1928 the SKILSAW Model E was invented by Art Emmons.[3] The Model E equipped with an 8-inch blade, It was the world’s first portable circular saw.[4] This saw's invention also spurred the use of worm drive gearing, a dual-field motor, and die-cast aluminum motor housing. In 1937, its successor, the SKILSAW Model 77, became the benchmark of portable saws,[5] along with the SKILSAW Model 87 circular saws, and it continues to be used on job sites across the United States.
@@Group_Anonymous Thanks! That's probably why I heard people call it a "Skale Saw" and it just stuck.
Heck yeah!
"No fingers were harmed in the making of this video' LOL. Great video and idea!!!
Thanks! the worst part about building these ramps is that everyone wants to borrow them after!
Great idea. Going to try this soon. One of my rhino ramps just cracked. Im not buying another one. Going with this
Nice! Glad I could help. The great thing with wood, if a piece breaks, just replace it!
The saw that You used is properly described as a Circular Saw. Many people refer to them by using the name of the company that popularized the type and design... Skill Saw. I had never heard any one call any saw a Scale Saw before.
Haha, you are 100% right. Must be a French Acadian thing.
Woolwax for undercoating.
Will be making some ramps like these soon!
Fluid Film does wash off. 🤝
Down here in Texas right now a 2x10 is $25. A box of screws is $10. You put handles with special screws. I'd go with Casters (lil wheels). So all in all it would cost me $122, in materials. And right now I don't have any 2 x 10s laying around the property. So the price is a lil steep for me. I'll stick with the Rubber/plastic Ramps I got for $49. No cracks yet, I'll keep my fingers crossed. Nice Video.
You can look for pallets that are in good condition and salvage the 2x4s that are on them. Screw and glue them together and you have now saved lots of $$!! :)
@@WLDefisher ...Oh man Pallets. Great Idea.
@@FunDuude I'm not that experienced with working with wood. Why wouldn't using the 2x4s from pallets be a good idea?
@@WLDefisher ....I thought your idea was good. But when I think about it: I have about 10 pallets in my storage, but none are made with 2x4s.
Good job, they look solid, i made a set today too.
Nice! Yea they are great to have around!
Wool wax has a kit with sprayer and hoses. Wool wax is lanolin but it does trap dirt. Don't drive thru red dusty gravel . It will look like your frame is rusty.
Acf 50 is an aircraft rust inhibitor and is used by an aircraft mechanic.
I believe you will need a respirator while applying.
Just made these today after seeing this video 👍🏻
All cut and ready to be screwed and glued.
Could you tell me roughly how much ml in glue I'd need?
Thanks
Nice! Not sure about how much glue. But no more than 1 bottle. The glue is just extra. Glad I could help!
@@NorthShoreOverland Thanks buddy
Brilliant video!👍

Thanks! I appreciate the support!
What length of 2x10?
Nice work :) I'd go with a combination of fluid film and surface shield.
Thanks! Doing FF already. I'll research this surface shield.
Well done. So now, when you unwittingly do a little bit of more push, you will get your wheels nailed.
A lot of things can happen if you "unwittingly" do anything....
Thanks for the video. I have 3 questions.. i am just confirming the wood thickness is actual 2inch and not the standard 1.5 inch?
.Then you are actually raising the truck 10 inch.. that's kind of high for a truck that's already lifted. Just curious but what would require such height to access?..
And my last question is you mention in the comments that you used Red Pine as that's what you had available but wouldn't recommend it.. Any particular reason?...
I was asking these questions because in my country they actually cut the wood to actual 2 inch thickness and i was debating whether to go 8 inch (4 levels) high vs 10 in high. I decided to go 8 inch because i just needed for underbody inspections, suspension lubrications and oil changes. I also was going 12 inch wide vs 10 inch as well to give me an inch on either side of the tire.
In terms of wood , it's not cheap here but equivalent or cheaper than buying the plastic ramps. I have to choose between pitch pine or mahogany.. Anything else is more expensive. The pine cost is about 30% less i e. 85$US vs 120$US. So i was thinking of going with the pine.. That's why i was asking why you don't recommend the pine.
Thanks! I just went 10 inches to give me lots of room for washing underneath. You can do 8 and if you find it's not enough, just add one more board! As for pine, I just meant I didn't recommend it as in "don't go out of your way to find some just because that's what I used". In my country, douglas fir would be the cheaper option. Good luck!
@@NorthShoreOverland ... Thanks for the idea. I got the pine straight from the sawmill. So its rough cut and wet.... You mentioned yours was still wet... I wanted to ask... Aren't you concerned that the ramps might deform a bit when the wood starts to dry? What about getting termites etc.. in your ramps too?... Right now i have mine stacked on the patio air drying before i sand, termite treat and seal before build the ramp. Hoping a 1- 2 months in that situation will dry it out enough. Temperature is about 27C with humidity about 40% avg.
@@mpcp27 if you screw the wood together, it will dry and deform together. And not enough to worry. As you use them they will wear and form. It's wood, so you can always change pieces if needed.
@@NorthShoreOverland ... Okay thanks.
I need a smaller version of these. hyundai accent. little car.
Nice job!!
Thanks!
I am just wondering are those ramps should be as wide as the tire ? If that’s the case then I can’t imagine having a truck with a 10 inch wide tyres haha is that normal in us ?
Doesn't need to be exact, but if you go too narrow it won't be as stable.
how high off the ground is your front bumper lifted on these
If that lumber is store bought then 5 layers won't be 10 inches. 2x lumber is only 1.75 inches thick. 1.75 x 5 = 8.75.
I used 2x 10 rough cut lumber and build the stand part of the system 6 layers tall, 24 inches long, with the top layer 2 inches short. I then cut a section of 2x into a wedge to attach to the top of stand as a stop for the tire. I then built 5 ft ramps with angled support pieces for under the 5 ft 2x10 with the top 2 inches longer than the ramp part. Set the ramp onto the stand so the 2 inch overhang on the ramps fit onto the 2 inch notch on the stand. Drill a 3/8 inch hole through the ramp into the stand, drop a 5/16 bolt into the hole so it keeps the ramp from slipping off the stand.
This set up let's you remove the ramps so they aren't in the way when working under the vehicle. These work well with most vehicles, some cars may be a bit low so you may need a couple of 2x10 pieces to drive the car up on them set the ramps up at the end of these 2x10 pieces. Might even need 4 pieces to get low cars high enough.
True. Still pretty high. Could always buy an extra piece to make up for it.
A 2by now is only 1.5 inches thick not 1.75 they keep cutting it down.
@@catfish24 shop around, the big box stores tend to cheap out to make more money. Smaller lumber you get more pieces on a load, saves on shipping cost for number of pieces. Check some of the non chain store places. If you have many Amish around you can get rough cut that is full size and cheaper than store bought.
@north shore bronco what size tires are on that ranger and type?
HMMM, I think they were 275/70R18, so 33"'s . Firestone Destination MT2
2:26 😅😅 i am not paid for plugging the DEWALT "SCALE SAW" 😅😅
👍
How long was that wood?
They were 8 foot boards
Good video but everyone i know calls that a Circular saw or a skill saw not a scale saw.
Yea, must be something I heard growing up in french and thought it was called a Scale saw lol. Thanks for watching!
Can you please write this measurements in cm?
Just multiply the inches by 2.54 and it will give you the centimeters.

What kind of wood did you use?
I think it was Red Pine... but I don't recommend that in particular. It's just what I had kicking around. (I have a sawmill)
@@NorthShoreOverland Thank you. I'm making mine of spruce.
WTF is a scale saw??😂😂
haha. It's a french Skill circular saw that you've been calling the wrong thing since you can remember and then you make a video and the world lets you know 😂
Those things are strong enough you could put a real truck on them
Thanks!..... wait a minute.........
