We had trouble entering and exiting my driveway due to a steep curb. It wasn't steep enough to cause damage to the BMW i8 and Volkswagen Jetta vehicles if we pulled in or backed out carefully, takeing one wheel at a time. But, I noticed that I was having wheel spin because some of the wheels were coming off the ground. I also had some contact under the cars with the top of the curb, some days. Over time this causes problems for the vehicles, so I finally decided to do something about it.

Love these ramps and so do our cars !

@jaynew1018 3 года назад

Just bought a 3-pack. Can’t wait to get these installed. Thank you for the bolt information. I was wondering about that. Sweet i8!

@PatsGarageOnline 3 года назад

Thank you! Glad my video was helpful.

@lgmisfit10 3 года назад

Now if only every curb we encounter would have something like this 😆👍

@thebarak 2 года назад

I have the same, and now I'm heading out to get 12 bolts, 12 nuts and 24 washers. Thank you.

@fivesilverstar9133 2 года назад

Thanks for the video! We bought a new house and the curb on driveway was way to stiff for our cars. We were wonder if we need to pave our driveway but we are going to purchase these ramps instead! Thank you 😊

Thanks for this video Pat I need to do this myself I'll be placing an order soon, superbly important for us mere mortals with something special in our garage

@CARTALKTV 3 года назад

ACCURATE!

@juanbarona 2 года назад

Well they are removable so you can take them anywhere and place them where needed.

@mgrmln 3 года назад

Yeah, I'm interested as well. I have the Bridgit one as too. I love it and it actually allowed me to drive up a rather steep driveway straight on in my i8! My Gt-R is lowered so I still have to angle up in that but it simply would not have been possible otherwise without scraping.

@ChasingTheApex 3 года назад

Thanks for this, I'm grateful my suspension is stiff enough to 3 wheel my 4c, i appreciate you adding your opinion

Nice. Driveways have not been much of a problem for me...but these speed bumps!!!

@rrpinsanfrancisco8598 3 года назад

Thanks for the info. We live in San Francisco California. Might take a look at these ramps. Hey Pat: Can you review the QR502 Bespoke Removable Front License Plate for the Maserati GranTurmiso NO Drilling!

@MarkPalace Месяц назад

Excellent. Thank you

@uhavemooface Месяц назад

I won't be using these I think I just need a piece of plywood and then I should be fine. Or I can just have a guy come out and see how much it would cost for them to fix the drive way ramp. We got a new car and the fender keeps hitting it going out of the drive way not so much going into the driveway.

@ArnoldWinters 2 года назад

Very good video. I bought the Bridjit and will install it later today. I would like to see what the different manufacturers look like in a year.

Well, how is it holding up?

@HeidiandFranny 3 года назад

Thanks Pat! I'm curious what you think over time. Our Bridgit has been pretty good although they do move a little from time to time. The feel in car is soooo much better. I believe our curb might be a bit more angular than yours maybe? The Bridgit is really for a rolled curb but seems to work pretty well. Great video! Franny

@PatsGarageOnline 3 года назад

Thanks! Mine also moves a little. I needed to adjust them a tad since I installed them 4 days ago. My heavy truck is likely making them move more than the cars. But, I'll keep an eye on them. I think these are also better for a rolled curb but they still feel really good. I have to remove them when it snows. As you can see, I live on a somewhat busy 30MPH street, so it gets plowed often and these would get pushed down the road. LOL!

@jamess4535 2 года назад

As a side note, dimensionally the Bridgit product and this one are almost identical including the rear curvature. The only reason this one appears flatter is because of Pat's longer flatter curb entrance. I do agree that the Bridgit product is a little more substantial (mainly because the end pieces are beveled) but I couldn't justify spending the extra cash just to get 5. It's been a life-saver (or should I say, front air-dam saver) for my Porsche 911 Turbo.

@user-lx4nv3ku6r 4 месяца назад

I have a new Corvette Stingray and have a similar problem getting in the garage. It’s a little more difficult to angle into the garage. Do you think this would work if I approached it straight?

@PatsGarageOnline 4 месяца назад

It totally depends on how much clearance you will have between the top of the driveway curb ramp and the top of the concrete curb. I couldn't do that with my i8, but your Stingray may clear it. I moved away from that house and left the curb ramps so I can't provide any actual dimensions.

@vsbb6 3 года назад

Thanks for the video. What size are the bolts and nuts you used to connect the ramps together?

@PatsGarageOnline 3 года назад

Thanks. The holes are 1/2" so you could go 7/16" or 3/8". I used 3/8" by 4" long. But you could probably use a 3" long bolt.

@liznavarro2799 3 года назад

Thanks for the Video.. I'm looking to get one for my hubby - a surprise gift which he NEEDS for his Vette. How to do choose which Height to purchase when I have a rolled curb, about 4 inches high?? HELP!

@PatsGarageOnline 3 года назад

My curb ramps are 2.5" high in the middle. I did not have a choice of height options when I purchased my curb ramps. So, I bought these and gave them a try and they work pretty well. I have about 4" of clearance in the front of my cars, at the lowest point. The Corvette is similar so I believe it will work if you have a 4" high rolled curb.

@olympiawashdrummer 2 года назад

I've been searching for something like this. My drive way is similar to yours. When the county came by to redo the street they fixed every body else's, but mine. Curious if you think a 911 would work on this?

@PatsGarageOnline 2 года назад

I think it would work well

@lascannon Год назад

How are the ramps holding up after 2 years? Is the rubbing crumbling/chipping?

@PatsGarageOnline Год назад

Same as new!

@dawndarbie6453 2 года назад

But what solution works for a higher road and a lower driveway? Where the slope is down towards the garage and the low clearance car scrapes going in because it basically teeters on the sidewalk/driveway edge for a second before driving further?

@PatsGarageOnline 2 года назад

That's a tough position to be in. It would seem the only solution would be to have the surfaces modified so there was less of a peak. I'm not an engineer so it's just a thought.

@johnnyroc 3 года назад

How much did it cost? And how long would it last?

@PatsGarageOnline 3 года назад

Please see the links in the description or Google the Pyle Driveway Ramps for the cost as I don't recall the price. So far, I've had no wear on them over the last 6 months of ownership.

@tony34star 3 месяца назад

No dynabolting to concrete?

@PatsGarageOnline 3 месяца назад

No need. It's heavy

@rickss69 2 года назад

How long before someone decides they want it more than you do and slips it into the bed of a truck?

@PatsGarageOnline 2 года назад

That is a good reason to bolt it down. I'm nearly 2 years into ownership and mine have not walked away, yet.

@adammaximus9957 Год назад

I have a gravel driveway and it washes away every couple years. Would it be a good idea to lay two these down and cover with gravel? Or any help from keeping it from washing away would be appreciated

@PatsGarageOnline Год назад

My family has that problem and it was better to pave it. Cost a lot but the problem went away. If you add these rubber things, it would likely just make the water divert and create other problems.

@adammaximus9957 Год назад

@@PatsGarageOnline could I ask another question? Could I lay a base layer of 4inch Cap block with space and full with gravel? Do you think it would help at all?

@13salinaspride 3 года назад

U didn't have to secure it? To the asphalt

@PatsGarageOnline 3 года назад

Each section weighs 50 lbs, and it's awkward to pick up by one's self, so no need to secure it to the asphalt.

@Cog-pd3qn 2 года назад

50lbs? Seems intended to be permanent. Do you not have snowplows?

@PatsGarageOnline 2 года назад

I unbolt it into 2 sections and drag it into my garage when I'm expecting snow, and I drive my 4x4 truck, so the ramps aren't needed.

@shazzorama 2 года назад

Alternatively, you could install a modest lift kit to your low vehicles’ suspension. I like this driveway solution all but for the need to remove a 200 lb dirty object every time roadwork like snow scraping vehicles need to access the pavement.

@TheBynirn 2 года назад

Adding a lift kit completely gets rid of the reason why many cars are low in the first place, the lower you are the better your aerodynamics and handling.
