Our local club had a Meet & Greet Saturday so I got to play on the ramp. Not bad for just coil spacers and a 2" body lift. I still haven't done the strut mount flip or longer rear shocks. ::)

Cool pics, how steep of a ramp was that? Where did you have the meet and greet?

Thanks :) It's 30* ramp...the Meet and Greet was in Church Hill, TN. Did better than a Land Rover Discovery, Nissan Hardbody, Hummer and TJ. ;D

Hey Mr. Evil:
Since there is a Hummer (ewww...) pic posted, should I post my "SJ-425 SE ramp pic"?

umm this hummer hasn't even begun to flex
just what it looks like to me.
THIS IS AN OBSERVATION YOU CAN NOT SEE THE OTHER FRONT WHEEL
I WAS BASING THIS ON THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE

Well...considering how you weren't there, you don't know Shawn and have never seen his Hummer...you are wrong. ::) I take offense to your statement because you are insinuating that I am not telling the truth. H1's don't flex worth a darn and Shawn is not the type of person to stop unless it starts to lift a tire.

TN_Tracker:
I have to agree with you even though I made the "ewwww" comment in my post.
As a former Pinzgauer owner, it was always irritating for someone to say "Hey, isn't that a Hummer?"
HOWEVER,
Although Pinzes and Hummers have few outward similarities in appearance, they have quite a lot in common mechanically.
The main similarity is the fact that they trade suspension flex for high ground clearance and locking axles. The end result is still the same: Both kick heinie off road in the hands of a trained (but not necessarily skilled) operator.
Here is mine on the RTI ramp at the Badlands (2003 ZookiMelt). Beaten out for low score by a early model stock Tracker 2-door tintop by scoring 213 points.

Just because it ain't at the top of the ramp don't mean it can't kick A$$ on the trail. I know this from personal experience.
-
I think you should have won that one ACk...I'm pretty sure I saw that other person slip the judge a $20...lol
And no H1's don't flex, but they don't really need to.

Wasn't trying to insult you, wasn't insinuating anything
took a look a the pic and given that I couldn't see the other front tire and that one could be the one that is lifting the rear of the hummer looked a little flat to me.
So if you still want to take offense at me that is fine.
I offer up an apology. :-[
when I'm doing a ramp I go until a tire is in the air and then stop.
You most likely are trying to get a true reading wich is going until a tire lifts then back down to where all the tires are on the ground again.
and pictures don't lie now do they.

and niether does video.
-
No problem ;D I've seen that video before. Looks like a 20* ramp and his right front tire was almost as high as his left before he decided to crunch it. Just to repeat myself ;), H1's don't flex.
-
That video doesn't really prove your point, bash ;)
-
I wasn't proving my point I was proving TN's and my being wrong.
-
I am glad he has enough money to purposely roll the hummer over....what was he trying to prove again? lol ::)
-
lol yeah, wonder if it was his rig?

I heard he just wanted to get it light and scare the passengers. If you notice in the video he tries to grab it ::) before it goes too far then he tries to act cool after he does it. Like it was no big deal. ::)
