Homemade ones or the newer ones or bust

My friend use to use cinder-blocks and two 3' 2x4's as ramps... until one of the cinder-blocks busted while the truck was on it... That was the fastest I ever saw him move, EVAR!!!

Keep in mind on "homemade" ones, elemental wear does take effect over time, do NOT endanger yourself

On gravel, I wouldn't trust jack stands too much cause of them tipping. I use the plastic ramps when I can. Rated to 12,000 GVW so think I'm good.

I am not talking about making homemade ones with cinder blocks because that is just dumb. I am talking about taking some scrap metal and welding it together to make a ramp. I am still using the ramps my dad made almost 40 years ago along with the jackstands that he made back then too.
