that was my 3rd oil change with the rhino ramps actually. they always slipped. I have the concrete surface garage.

It always took me 2-3 tries to get up on the ramps. I even used them a couple times on the Z.

But I cannot take chances anymore. things happen. Rhino ramps have a very steep angle. slippage is common. thats not user error. its a design flaw.

i could easily put a nonslip material (commonly used to line the kitchen drawers) under the ramps, but that would compromise the structure of the ramps. I'd done it a couple of times already, it worked. but I could tell the ramps bend a little bit where the wheels rest. That is something i donot want to risk my life for.
