I hope you're kidding...


Me too. All it takes is someone leaning on the car!

I personally use 8K Rhino ramps and a floor jack( I jack it up just enough so it barely touches the frame). The floor jack is only for peace of mind, I don't think necessary. I also chock the rear wheel.

Why do you need to jack up the car? Can't you get your hand there to take off the drain plug?

I can't get under my car farther than my neck without ramps/stands, and that's only if I'm looking to the side and not at the drain plug. (sport package BMW)

This is another reason I have Rhino ramps, specifically. They work well with low cars.

I use my Rhino Ramps for anything that doesn't require a wheel to come off. Oil changes, transmission fluid changes, exhaust work, rear shock work for my previous truck, etc. I use the ramps all the time, and only use jacks if I absolutely have to.

The only time I've had to jack up the Expedition was to do the brakes. I can do oil, transmission, shocks, sway bar end-links, diff fluid, transfer case....etc all with the vehicle sitting on the ground.

Ground clearance is often under appreciated

you can't even drive up on ramps with my car unless they are extremely gradual and tapered. Front is about 4 inches off the road.

I'm used to servicing trucks. Just like you I rarely need a jack or stands just for normal servicing.

I sure appreciate clearance!

After I did my first oil changed, I know where the oil drain plug for 2006 camry v6. Next time I don't need any jack or ramp to do my oil changed. I weight 120 LB. I can just crawl and loose the plug..

I used to only weigh 120 lbs, and could do the same. Then I grew up, or maybe it was gorw old. Last time I weighed 120 or less Dr. diagnosed my with cancer.

Love my Rhino ramps.

I haven't weighed 120 pounds since I was 12.
