Wanted to make a cheap wheel stand
So I am contemplating putting my bronco in an informal car show and really, the only advantage I might have is offroad-ability. So I need to showcase that with flex!
Anyone have any ideas on the cheap to do this? I don't even have those little oil changing ramps, but that would work. I've got some decently tall jack stands I could put at opposite corners??
Or just lift one corner? I'm thinking I can get 24" or so before I lift another tire.

Trailer loading ramp and something to stabilize it?

Re: Wanted to make a cheap wheel stand
I will be trailering it there, so I did think about a way to use the trailer and ramps... But I might need to build something from 2x4's to get some extra height. And get there early to get the space!

Re: Wanted to make a cheap wheel stand
you could make a quick junior RTI ramp (or full size for that matter) if your trailering to a show. Stack of tires works too. Just make sure its safe, not only to spectators, but the safety of your Bronc with people walking around it!

Re: Wanted to make a cheap wheel stand
Could just get some cinder blocks and make some steps or something. Somewhat easy to maneuver.

Re: Wanted to make a cheap wheel stand
Yeah safety is key! It's got to stay put should someone push it around, or if it's windy etc.
Maybe 2 trailer ramps + 2 cinder blocks on opposite corners would get a decent affect. Probably not as cool as one front tire way up in the air...

Re: Wanted to make a cheap wheel stand
to bad you weren't closer... we could build a stand out of tubing (at max articulation) and skin it with bead-rolled aluminum, maybe some buck rivets and dimple died. Some SEMA crap right there!!!!
