Anyone use Rhino Ramps?

I did an oil change yesterday and used Rhino Ramps.

They are each rated at 3000 lbs, 6000 a pair, 12,000 for 4. I only used them on the front, but was thinking on getting another pair to raise up the whole 4runner for lube jobs, etc.

Any thoughts?

They sure look better than those old-school metal ones. I have never trusted those.

Am I missing something? How would you get the truck up on all four ramps at the same time?

Sports car owners like Rhino ramps because they're good with low clearance vehicles. I still use the old school steel ramps or jackstands for the low clearance cars or when I want something completely off the ground.

I'll never forget when I was 16, my dad was trying to back my crappy 4 cyl. Mustang up on to metal ramps. One wheel started spinning, and the next thing I know, it grabs and launched the ramp up under the rocker panel. Scary!

You put them in front of the tires, lined up, and drive it on the ramps...right???

My steel ramps are too tall to fit in front of the rears without contacting something under the truck.
