Yes I could do 10' as that is cheaper with less sticks to buy it just goes from a 22 degree angle to 27 for loading but not a biggie i would think.
And like I said I can do a hinged leg support in the middle. And remember the weight is spread out amoung four tires so the load is never 750...
I can build these for under 150 for the pair.
But that is not a bad idea, buy the angle iron for the main beams then buy flat steel stock in 3.16 by like 1.5" and use that as the supports then place a 2x12 wooden beam inside and bolt.
Well I would like to avoid using wood if I could, i was going to use the same angle iron as the support bars at 6" in distance from each beam and rotate them so they triangleuate to the support long beams so to speak.
So are you talking about using just flat metal strips as the supports...
EGT is always higher during hard or heavy loads.
Example, Full throttle is a high load, but full throttle going up a grade is a bigger load, and having a weighed down bed and trailer is even a bigger load.
Now my F250 will hit peaks of 1600 degrees while crossing the traps at dragstrip but...
I need to build a set of ramps to support a Yamaha YFZ450 quad plus 180 lbs of me.
12' long steel angle iron ramps
I called on steel prices and a 20' stick of 1.5x1.5" 3/16 thick is $23.50
Do you feel that this would be strong enough for sub 750 lbs divided by two ramps? Now I have...
I was thinking a door hinge to a leg that is in the middle that should give enough support. 1.5x1.5" angle iron that is 3/16 thick at either 10 or 12' long with 12.375" width
I just ordered some high output white and red 180 degree beam bulbs to see if that helps. I also bought an extra socket that im gonna use the narrow beam ones suggested here to wire up under the dash to light up the shifter and pedals.
Well that was easy i didnt know you removed them from the front.
Well those Red LEDs suck, dont buy them, they have a plastic coating on the side which makes them dimmer then a stock bulb, i guess i reorder some white ones as that should work better.
