[Ghost]

Anyone know where I can get some?

I've got plans to run mine up an RTI ramp on of these days...

Oh..wait..you mean a piece of paper that tells you how to build it?

You have to have a site to host it or use the picture showcase forum.

If memory serves, isn't an RTI ramp just a straight 20-degree slope? When I finally wake up, perhaps I can work out the math for you. Or - just solve a right triangle with a short angle of 20 degrees, and a short leg of whatever length you want (5' should do, unless you want to get silly. Highest RTI Ramp I seem to recall was only 6' anyhow... You are otherwise restricted by wheelbase and track width - aren't XJ axles only about 5' wide anyhow? No point in making the ramp higher than the track width of the main vehicles to use it.)

If you want an absolute "no greater than" - most vehicle codes specify that vehicles are NO MORE than 8' wide at any point. Average pax light vehicle is 6' or less.

Yea the thought was either a 20deg or 30deg. I think a 25 would be intresting. I was also curious about how they got the figures. And material? Would 2" X .25" angle work or should I be looking at box tube? These are the things I'm wondering!

That one at the Badlands was 20 degs before Troy raised to 30 degs.

If you look at the pic closely you can see where he extended the legs.

Do the 30 degree ramp. The 20 degree ramps are WWWAAAYYY outdated and can be easily maxed out by a mildly built Cherokee. My $.02

Here is a link I found when looking into building one I know i found many others but I saved this one for some unknown reason. http://www.off-road.com/toyota/tech/rti/ Maybe this will help.

That is what I was looking for Xjfanatic! That is exactly what I was thinking! Towable and easy to remove and set up! And yes Mike I was thinking of 30deg! All I need now is the RTI chart for a 30deg now! :wave:
