Hey Dom,

As per the instructions on "how you work the ramp" You must keep all 4 wheels on the ground.  Drive up the ramp until one wheele lifts off the ground, back up the vehical until the wheel touches and then measure.

Dom you only got 702, I would have expected more from you.  Last year at Apex I scored a 786, so in your face   :D

Here's a good link to explain the whole math part of it and a calculator, If you have a forklift or another means or lifting the tire you can calculate without the ramp, 1000 is a good score but there is no perfect score, I've seen many rigs reach scores of 1600 and more, NEway enjoy....


forgot to add the link  :oops:

we'll have to try it again just me and you.... It was my first time...You probably practiced 200 times. It does not count if you put a rock under your back tire when it lifts off the ground!!! :wink:

Now you are just trying to make up excuses for being beat down by a OLD LEAF-SPRUNG YJ.  Plus I only ramp my Jeep once a year which is at Apex.

Hey Brian, what kind of score can you get out of your TJ these days, 1400?

1525 via fork lift, I think it could've gone more but the forklifts owner/op was getting nervous about flipping my Jeep on it's lid inside of his wharehouse, that and one of the front springs was about to fall out, I've made some suspension changes since.
