Hi all,

come back into ownership of a disco 2 after several years without a landy and am after a good strong set of ramps some years ago Difflock did some which were great but don't seem to do them now.

Any advice would be greatly received

I never liked using ramps. Much prefer a floor jack and stands.

Ramps for what?

If you mean drive on service ramps. The plastic ones seem much better than the metal frame ones, also wider and more suited for 4x4 tyres IMO.

Maybe something like this: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/275095377683

Not sure I'd prefer plastic ramps over a good steel set.

Think you’d be surprised with the plastic. Very very solid feeling and wider than most of the metal frame ones. My last metal ones collapsed with a Disco 1 on them.

Me dad had metal ramps for many years. Surface rust put me oft using them. They were the older style ones which din't have many rungs. So driving up them and getting the wheels to land in the right place, was not easy.
