    What are you guys using to get your trucks up off the ground to do oil changes or other projects? I just bought a set of these drive on ramps for working on all 3 of our Toyotas.

    My driveway angles downward toward my garage, so I park my Toyota cars at the top and have enough room to crawl under the front. Tacoma is so high I never felt I needed to use ramps to get underneath.

    On the sr5 the chin spoiler is to tight to work around in my opinion.

    Just sliding under here too.
    My jack stands scare me and I can't fit another pack of gum in the garage.
    When I'm reincarnated as a wealthy man I'll have a lift and eight car garage.

    Yea I slide under mine as she sits.
    It’s got a small lift with larger tires.
    I use heavy duty jack stands that usually pinch me at some point if it’s in the air.
    I also have a magic creeper works well I put a piece of cardboard down first.

    set of drive on ramps like the OP has, or some floor jacks and jack stands. depending on what I'm doing. but often I just slide up under. though oil changes I like a bit more room with the skid plate

    why I didn't get a 3rd gen, even though I liked how they looked. and how long it took me to find a 2nd gen I liked as well I hate cartage filters. even with the proper tools in my shop.
    heck when I got my 2nd gen 3rd were out and available and 2nd gens were almost as much as newer used 3rd gens. there was a black manual crewcab down the road at the local toyota dealer and they were trying that morning to get me to buy it.

    I have something similar, about 3" of lift. I needed them for my lowered Miata to get the low profile floor jack under it.

    I made another set out of 2x8's so I could drive the front and rear up at the same time. :D
