Took my truck over to the local discount building supply house and picked up 2 of the 2X10X10' planks and another 6' plank that I cut in half. Cost so far is $25.62 taxes included.
Did this mock up with my Rhino ramps that I have had for several years.
I put the short plank under the Rhino to make it a bit higher. It looks like if I buy 2 more of the 2X10s (for each side) and lay them on edge along with several 2X4s on end between them that the width of the ramp would be a touch over 10". My tire width is just shy of 10".
I would then place 1/2" plywood over the top of the whole rig to give a height of 10". I would also have to place something on the flat portion of the Rhinos so I would not have to drive over the hump at the end.
Looks like I should also make up a short approach ramp to the Rhinos and find a way to attach them to the wood platform so they would not slip.
A 10' length is plenty to fit the C4 on.
Then I would cut out the middle section between the tires so I could drag them off to the side if I needed more room under the car to move around.
I will attempt it this weekend unless of course my bride decides we are going to Chicago to see a show and shop.
Preliminary mock up:
Fortunately I have enough room in the pole barn to store them when not in use.
Any suggestions are most welcome!
