Thinking about getting one myself, looks really good value

[grinder]

i must admit they look cooooooool - but at over £600 - its not bloody cheap is it

there must be a better way of doing it ( or a cheaper way ! )

Blimey they look steep !!! Me Rex dont even get up my normal ramps lol, which is why the link i put up is good, cos at 8 degrees mine would get up it :D

i was trying to work out how it works

looks like you drive onto it - and then just jack up the back end - and put the wedges under it

just need to get someone who can weld and has loads of metal to copy it ( where is kev when you need him !! ) and see how little they can be made for !

[grinder]

is it the 2000kg one you are looking at or the 1350 one

just checking now and the FC weighs in at 1191~1424kg

hire a jcb for the day and dig your drive out by 5 foot, much cheaper

[grinder]

i think she would kill me if i did that

[SmbFD3S]

lol yeah i though of a pit but too much hassle and mess to be honest.  I could prob make something anyway out of timber just as strong
 
Oh and it was the 2000kg, cos work on other people cars too heavier that the rex, not sure it\'s take the jag to be honest tho lol

The robbing bar stewards you could have then knocked up at a local engineering firm for peanuts Stu. Its just a sheet of ali chequer plate cut and bent in a sheet bender plus 4 lenghts of mild bar. Have a word with Shaun he\'ll tell you who can knock some up locally.
