Harborfreight Chocks setup
Well, thanks to a few good members on the forums, I got the codes for a really good price on the HF chocks. I finally got them setup last week but still have to paint the setup and add the 2x6 to the sides for extra backup support but I have a few pics. I used T-nuts on the bottom to mount 3/8" bolts from the top. Seems pretty secure and the way they are setup, I can put them in a trailer or move them around the garage but still not worry about them sliding around.

what did the chocks cost you & do you have a part number?

With the discount code they were $39.99 plus $6.99 shipping each. Another $20 in the strand board and T-nuts and bolts. I like it because I can move them around wherever I want, even put them in a trailer. Here's a rear view, it really saved me space in my narrow garage.

How are you finding getting your wheel in and out of the chock? Did you have to adjust the chock at all? Although I would have someone to help me if needed, it would be nice if I could get my RG in and off this unassisted.
Thanks

Thanks Udawg. I picked up one of these for the same price with the coupon code a month or so ago. I havent unboxed it yet though.
