How to check flex and bump without a forklift?
« on: August 11, 2017, 05:40:08 PM »
Need to check it this weekend while working on the Jeep. Thinking of finding a 45 degree wall.  Other ideas?

True...maybe check it first at a mall curb, then get on one of those rugged ridge parking lot ramp things, then go to a culvert...

A mall curb should be fine. I've never seen him on a rock much bigger that one.

Find a deep ditch and go at it side ways angled.

@BigMike   I know of an RTI ramp you might be able to use, not too far from you if you want me to ask.

Just because you can doesn't mean you should.

Head to your local industrial park and go to a loading dock.

Find all the other jeeps parked at Wal-Mart and drive on someone's tire?
