This weekend's project RTI ramp - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

We built an RTI ramp this weekend. Just had to do it.

The material is 6X4 aluminum bus. Used in electrical sub stations to carry about 80,000KVW. As the picts show, it's pretty thick.

You are clearly a poser.

Please turn your Cruiser over to me.

Man - That is some awesome flex!

SICK! See you Wednesday

The llama can test out your new RTI ramp properly.

proffitt'scruisers · 02-24-2003, 09:18 AM

Possible lac of articulation!

FIXXXXAH · 02-24-2003, 09:27 AM

BJ On Roids · 02-24-2003, 05:17 PM

Big DW · 02-24-2003, 05:19 PM

I'msurprised that that cruiser doesn't articulate better...seems like it would do better...LOL...nice ramp!

74_Chevota · 02-24-2003, 06:48 PM

Nice! Any idea on how much it weighs??? I have a friend of mine that built one out of solid steel and it is a pain in the butt to move.

The one I have has an axle under it that can be raised to set the ramp on the ground and a removeable hitch for towing it.
