Bought a pair of Rhino ramps a few months ago when I was working on the Zx2. It made oil changes a breeze and they were really light.
UNFORTUNATELY, one ramp cracked under the pressure of my Ranger. These ramps are rated at 8k pounds. I returned them to the store assuming they were defective, and was given a replacement.
Today, I almost died. I was crawling underneath the S10 to change the oil when I heard a pop. Obviously I shouldn't hear a pop before I crawl under a vehicle so I grabbed ahold of the tow hooks and pulled myself out of there ASAP. I'm looking in pure terror as the passengers side of the truck crashes to the ground above the shattered and flattened ramp. The drivers side also follows, since the truck is now at an angle and putting uneven pressure on the side wall of the ramp.
Do NOT buy rhino ramps if you value your life. If I hadn't gotten out from under there I would be in the hospital right now.
These ramps get 0 stars from me.
