Raptor Carshow Flex Ramp

[whtrapta]

I have had a few people ask about the ramp I made for carshows so I'll just post the info and pics. Its 5 feet 2 inches at the bottom. 2 feet at the top. Its made of square 2 inch steel. We added an 8 inch flip up foot at the bottom so the ramp doesn't slide forward when driving up. And since it flips it still fits in the bed with the tailgate closed. We kinda just free balled it making it. We built a simple design and tested it. We watched where bars were flexing and added supports to those and now it takes the weight easy. I also designed a poster and had it printed to show off.

Nice! Great job on the ramp and poster. I'm sure your truck gets a lot of attention at the shows.

Ya it does. 1 show I took second overall, the other i didn't place... but no trucks did so...

Those judges better get it straight..... That's a FIRST place truck right there!

I know right! I was like wtf but at the second show there were some serious cars. Supras turbo and supercharged and every possible thing on the motor was polished chrome! it was amazing. Just everything you could imagine, DeLoreons, lambos, full custom muscle cars worth hundreds of thousands
