Just wondering.....a 20 degree ramp, or some other angle?
-
pretty sure its a 23 degree and then 30 degree when the tires go on
-
"30 degree when the tires go on"
?????
-
for the 23 degree they remove the tires they tow it on,and i believe to make it 30 degree's they bolt the tires back on so it raises the top of the ramphigher causing more angle
-
The RTI ramp we have for the club is towed as a trailer, the wheels are removed at whatever event and the ramp used. The wheels are re-installed and the ramp towed back to storage. You dont ramp on it with the wheels on it
-
how do you score it?
-
I cant remember, I think Tyler (bogfrog) scored it last year, PM him. I did ok on it with a 2" BB and connected sway bar so Im gonna own this year 8)
-
i seem to recall thats how it used to become a 30 degree

It was designed and built as a 23 degree ramp with wheels removed.
I'm not sure how much of a change the installed tires make but I doubt it adds much more than 2 - 3 degrees.

Doug is correct,
-
RTI = distance travelled up the ramp / wheelbase x 1000
-
for example the ZJ last year. 107" wheelbase i got 77" up the ramp so 77/107 = .719 x 1000 = 719. so i ramped 719..........
the YJ will be interesting this year shootin for 500 lol

When I ramped my YJ last year I got about 850

yea i spent a year dialin gin the ZJ.... if i ran smaller tires' i'd have ramped better. the fenders got in the way ;)
the YJ has stock RE spring packs right now. i'll play with them this winter to dial them in . who knows, maybe i'll ramp each corner and that'll soften em up a bit LOL

Just in case the newbies don't know the infamy of the CJA's ramp, it's time to repost an old video of the CJA's very first S&S

I'm glad that I ramped my heep last year. Once is enough for that move ;D
-
what was the guy thinking? oh well no big loss another civilian hummer bites the dust :)
-
hes got money to burn haha
-
The best part was his female counterpart in the passenger seat, and he's so worried about her he turns away and shakes hands with the guys.
If it was me, I would probably still be running. ;D
-
When he gave it a push he just wanted to rock the boat a little and was surprised that it went over. Not a lot of damage, passenger morror housing and a scuff on the wrapping on the roll bar.

Do you know the guy?
