Gears and Gadgets Fixes a Rolled Curb: A BRIDJIT Curb Ramp Review

September 21, 2026

If you live in a housing development built after 1980, chances are you are intimately familiar with the jarring jolt of a rolled curb driveway. While less expensive for builders, rolled curbs create a daily headache for homeowners. With an estimated nine million homes in the U.S. and Canada featuring this curb design, most of us are familiar with the crossing this uncomfortable bump every time we enter or exit the driveway.

Recently, popular automotive YouTuber Gears and Gadgets highlighted this exact issue in an install and review video featuring our very own expandable curb ramp system. Let’s break down his experience and see how BRIDJIT ramps solved his driveway dilemma!

The Problem With Rolled Curbs

In his video, we learn David of Gears and Gadgets is all-to-familiar with the daily hassle of navigating a rolled curb driveway. He has two vastly different vehicles: a low-clearance C6 Corvette and a 2024 GMC Sierra truck – and they certainly handle rolled curbs differently.

Whether you’re driving a sleek sports car with reduced impact-absorbing tires or a heavy-duty truck, rolled curbs present a widespread liability. Depending on your vehicle’s weight, suspension, and speed, the continuous driveway impact can lead to:

  • Misaligned wheels, increased tire wear, and decreased gas mileage.
  • Higher probability of real damage to steering components, wheels, exhaust systems, and ground attachments.
  • A negative, bumpy impact on vehicle occupants (or as David accurately put it, “sending coffee flying everywhere!”).

The Gears and Gadgets BRIDJIT Review

Looking for a solution to his scraping Corvette and bouncing truck, David turned to the BRIDJIT Curb Ramp. He initially installed four sections, but because of his driveway’s unique 16-17 foot curved entry, he decided to order and install an extra 4-foot modular piece to extend the center section for the perfect fit.

Here are the key takeaways from his installation and review:

  • Simple, DIY Installation: While the heavy-duty rubber sections weigh about 50 lbs each, he demonstrated how one person can seamlessly bolt them together, flip, and maneuver the assembled 250 lb system into the gutter – a systematic approach makes it simple.
  • Built to Adapt: The video emphasizes a crucial BRIDJIT installation tip: don’t overtighten the bolts! Leaving a little daylight between the heavy-duty sections allows for the rubber to naturally expand and contract with the hot summer weather and vehicle weight without cracking. The modular design also allows the ramps to naturally flex around the curved radius of a shaped driveway.
  • Neighborhood-Friendly Aesthetics: Unlike some garish ramps painted with loud yellow caution stripes, David appreciated that BRIDJIT ramps blend naturally into the street, doing their job without becoming an eyesore.
  • The Results: After dropping the 5-piece assembly in place, he tested the driveway in his low-clearance Corvette. The result? A smooth entry and exit, no more jolt.
