Someone picked them up from Aldi for about $20.

I brought some from Supercheap for $30-$40 on special, normally $60 or so.

Thanks guys.

I changed the oil and filter yesterday, and I still don't have a way of raising the front to make access easier.

raising the back is no prob, jack rear and place stands either side, but I don't have any central jack point for the front and these ramps look the business.

bricks/wood blocks raise it enough to get a racing trolley jack under the front

what do you jack from at the front?

Yeah k frame is sweet (not the smaller member most forwad of the vehicle ive seen some people damage)... I always roll a block of wood ontop of the jack as well just to stop little dints. As said drive car onto blocks of wood or caravan ramps or something first.

My car is pretty low and I still do it without stands when im feeling lazy, jack car up enough on front passenger side to get at sump plug and filter, I do pop a stand under it while im underneath, should never be that lazy. Then I just drop it back to level to drain (need to position pan carefully..)

Do you know what ths width is? Does it say on the box perhaps?

Assume it's that one ^^^

Thinking I should get a pair instead of using the bricks... And a pair of axle stands for the 4 times a year that I change my wheels lol
