That was me. I took a few but when I really should have been taking shots I was screaming STOP! I thought that blue JK was going over for sure!

Good times.

What's your wheelbase? Yours did flex better than some of those rigs that pulled up. I listened to people yesterday talking about the possible winners and I think a lot of them forgot that the distance measured is only part of the equation. That big dodge truck went way up on the ramp but he also had a long wheelbase. Someone else here will probably know but I think score is determined by length on ramp divided by wheelbase and then multiplied by like a 1000 or something

The aussie locker made no difference on the RTI ramp. But it will change your rig off road and make you wonder why you waited to do it for something so cheap and easy to install

The Aussie Locker probably helped him crawl up a bit further, I have tried climbing RTI ramps without lockers on and only get 90% flexed. I watched a TJ just yesterday struggle climbing an RTI ramp his lower side tire kept wanting to spin.

I should have stayed and see what mine would have done. I was just parking on it so no one would mess with it. Interested to see how the metalcloak with 6pack shocks would have done

I just dont see it. Tires are on concrete so traction is max. When your tires start to slip and you lose traction that means your tire is light and about to come off the ground. RTI measurements are done when all 3 are on the ground so climbing to the point of lifting a tire when locked and backing down to set all 3 down would be the same as no lockers and a tire spinning as it starts to come off the ground

Here are the few pictures I took.




















Not bad for a stock vehicle. You can't beat what you get with a Rubicon package. I can't wait till it get her lifted and some bigger tires.  //SLAMIN//
