Rhino Ramps (I Cant get them to work?)
Hey guys I know this is one of the more intellectually challenging questions on here presently but I really cant get these Rhino Ramps to work with my Iroc? My car is completely stock height and tire size wise.
I dont know what to do, they keep slipping when I hit the gas, so I put cinderblocks in front of the ramps to stop the sliding, but they keep slipping forward. And even the little rubber feet fall off the bottom of them too. I am using my garage floor so it's a flat hard surface..... Please help. anyone that has these plese feel free to let me in on the secret of how to use them.

I have the same problems with them on RWD cars, they suck!
The trick is to lightly roll up onto them. IMO its easyer to get a jack out and most of the time its quicker.

Try putting something under them. I normally put them on some old carpet in my concrete garage and creep slowly up them. The best thing would be if you had a couple rubber mats.

what i do is put some 2X4s on the ground one end against the wall and the other end against the ramp. This way the ramps have no where to slide.

Well thanks for the suggestions but after just using my jack as usual I really dont feel the need for these as I once did, plus the fact you basically need a 'guide' to help u up them, is not a good thing since usually I work on her alone. Oh well I still got the receipt so all is not lost, thanks guys!!!

I have no problems or troubles at all. First i pull the car in, then wedge the ramps under the tire. Next i just drive up them till i hit the stop, done.
