Yes. It was made by one of the members in the early 2000s. I offered to build a new one, but they pulled this one out of the back of a garage. I spent the last week rehab'n it. It is your typical 20° ramp to measure the flex of your Jeep. A perfect score would be to get your back tires right up to the base while ascending the ramp without having any of your tires off the ground. This would give you a perfect Ramp Travel Index (RTI) of a 1000. Nowadays, with the more flexy rides, the ramps are 30 degrees or higher.

Its roughly to indicate what you can climb while still having your other 3 tires on the ground to provide traction.

My profile pic is on a 35° ramp.

That’s fuckin neat

Here's a guy from the club that scored higher than a 1000 RTI. (rear tire is passed the end of the ramp)

Thinking it was the "can opener" that f'd things up by causing an "earthquake" by removing those walls and the "catwalk" LOL

I knew a guy down in Texas who built his rig with as much flex as he could. He'd win the flex competitions. But when he hit the trails he couldn't keep up on the trails. He was too tippy and would flop it on simple off camber spots.

He had to put in antirocks just to be able to keep up on the trail.

Yep, other variables important to overall performance off/on road. CG, wheelbase, axle width, are dang important as well.

What's the prize for the flex competition? Rogaine? Viagra?

Eaglet still can't figure out how to get the last bits from the crab leg mother still tearing out the last chunks from the fish tail. I noticed last night they're away for at least 8hr; eaglet mostly on its own overnight, just moving around, cleaning, sleeping.

Always looks thirsty.

A Yoga mat and a convincing instructor?
