Honestly if you have a welder, it would cost you a fraction of the price then for me to build one and ship it. I can get costs if people are still interested. Although how do you ship something like this? Its 5.5x2x2 and weighs probably 60lbs

IDK. I just drove up a dirt hill in the yard and measured how high it was. Since it has an A arm front vs live axle, it limits it a bit. If someone comes across a ramp of some sorts, see how high you can go.

How much higher could you build the ramp without it being to "sketchy"

Could you go another foot with it?

At 26 inches, our other side tire leaves the ground. At 36", you will need the posi to get you up it and some solid ground to do it on. I've played a bit :)

While I was there I managed to drain my battery too :shocked: I always have my parking lights on and Dust to glory playing on the nav screen. Well, I left the key in the on position instead of the first click (radio only). I got a quick jump and was back in business.

Congrats on the win, all that hard work paid off for you. Did you have the hood up during the show? A lot of people love to see under the hood. I wouldn't worry much about playing a video or music during a show. Most people won't see it anyway. How did you get back into the truck? Did you take along a step ladder?
