I put an angle finder on it today. 30 degrees on one side, 31 dgrees on the other. It is steep. I had a 3.0 2wd shop truck with me. The valanced scraped hard going up. I may need to take it down to 23 degrees.

 

 

he just a wittle guy, couldn't get wery far.

 

Now I got a reason to go to Austin besides 6th street!

 

it doesnt look as steep any more haha

 

The ramp is coming along nicely.

Here is an easy way to calculate the RTI of your truck. They have a few calculators to calculate different ways.

Thanks Bryan

 

wayne you gonna put some crossbracing on the ramp?

 

yes

 

man i want to see how my wittle trwuck would do on tht ramp...

 

I ran mine up it today. Didn't get any higher than that Jeep pictured earlier. The main difference between me and the Jeep- same ramp location. The rear wheels were in the gravel. Dug a hole trying to get up. I need a front driveshaft.

 

yes you do wayne...

i want to try!

 

so is it fair to assume that you'd see a really cool death roll if someone approached that ramp going like 45 mph??? lol

 

here's what you need to do... lock the rear and go backwards jk

do you still have that dummy tcase?

 

yes. i figured it would be good to keep around. It would be great for a mock up. It's very lightweight.

 

oh i meant in the truck haha, i guess thats a no

 

ah. lol. I have an explorer transfer case that has a speedo cable built into it. So I have a working TC, but not a working driveshaft.

 

ah, i see
need to get it shortened?


you could take a running start at the ramp like evan did at BVORR but i would recommend against it

 

Someone here told me it would be 2" too long. I haven't checked it yet to verify.

 

yea, thats what i've heard 1.5-2"
from the ranger case with the adapter its ~3 i think

 

Sorry to revive this old thread, but reading that made me laugh and think of pirate4x4.com.

 

I'd Lose! LOL
