    This weekend my dear wife cleaned the interior and just barely saved herself from receiving an overdue spartan kick!

    this level of cleanliness is very satisfactory for this truck for me

    How long does it take to set up your ramps?

    I have left the bricks permanently on my driveway for sometime to take care of random maintenance jobs on the car.
    I do need to buy those plastic ramps.

    I made some low profile ramps from 2x10's for a mustang, years ago. Still use them for the yaris.

    I want to make them. I have heard great things about them. But my carpentry skills are rudimentary at best. Any idea what size screws I need? I will give it a go.
    I asked a carpenter to make them and he got scared that in case it cracked or broke it would be a liability issue.

    Look at YouTube for videos. There are a number of them out there and then you can choose the one that you feel you can make (or take the best of several and make a kick-ass personal set of ramps).

    I can take pics later, but i believe it was 1- 2x10x10' per side. Cut on a 45 deg at 4', 3', 2' and stacked. They only raise 4.5", but that's all i needed.

    if I need to work there comfortably, I need ramps. I might be able to drop the factory skids without raising it but I cannot slide underneath and have space to do any work.
