Rti ramp anyone?

[zachandandy]

I know the ramp doesn't mean a lot in the real world, but some free time and some scrap steel got me to build one. Only took about an hour. Haven't tested my xj yet due to lack of front shocks, but the wife's wj ramped a 982 on my 20 degree ramp. According to hp magazine a stock wj only ramps a 462. It also showed me where I need to do a bit more fender trimming. If anyone is in the neighborhood and wants to play on the ramp, let me know.

Geez, an hour? You're faster than me!

Any way you could bring that thing to Sierra Fest?

Would you? :worship:

"Would you? :worship: "

Yes I would. I'd help him except he's way down there in Patterson. I'm sure if he has the skills to build an RTI ramp in an hour he can easily fab up some sort of wheel/towing arrangement without too much trouble. It's not like it's never been done before.

I don't think I'll make it to Sierrafest, but if someone wants to pick it up, they're more than welcome. No wheel/towing plans, it was built with scrap steel as a quick toy. Not going to invest money into it. A flat trailer would work.

If someone can get it to the Galt area I have a trailer we could tow it up to SF with. It's just Patterson is like 1.5 hours one way from me and that's a ton of gas! But like I said if someone could get it to me I could tow it up to SF.

Any ideas?

Forgive the dumb question but how do you score on an RTI ramp and what does RTI standfor exactly? Can you acomplish tha same with a Fork Lift. Never ramped my heap. Just used a fork lift to get hervtwisted and check for clearence issuses . My methond doesnt account for bounce seems like thr trail always finds weaknesses. I would love to see what my stuff would do for a score.

This should answer your question.
