Houses are built of out wood, and they hold a lot more weight then a car. I see no reason to trust a ramp that was built like that properly.

Pretty badass. Looks easily trollable if you steal the ramps and leave the car up there lol.

When we where in Jamaica a few years back we saw a few with boards going onto cinder blocks... and no where near as sturdy looking as that

one 2x4 piece of wood can hold 18,000lbs standing vertical took a material testing course. Its more than strong enough

I need to make my own ramps, my fox is way too low for regular ramps.

I remember when that guy posted up after he made those. He caught a lot of shit. Everyone was saying it was tacky, he was stupid, gonna get killed, etc. My biggest gripes are there's no real fast way to get out from under that and it seems like it'd have limited uses. It's still on the tires and I haven't seen many jacks/jack stands that are a suitable size to lift it up off of those.

Mass plates. Is this a member on here

Yes, that 2003 Cobra belonged to Bassin247 (Mike). He sold it but hasn't posted since 12/2011. I remember the original thread from way back in May of 2004. He did catch a ton of crap over it, but other than sticking out like a sore thumb, no reason why a well constructed ramp like that can't work.

That's a cool idea. But honestly I have a hard enough time driving my Cobra up on Rhino ramps without launching off the top of them. I always give too much throttle or roll back down... I wonder if these would be any better. Haha.
