Thanks guys, I think I'll keep that highly in mind. My minds always running a mile a minute to think of how to work things out, but never thinking about making money from it. My payment has always been in the challenge and the competion of it.
Thanks again. I'll definitely look into it.

Well I was thinking about the upright braces. Take a triangle for instance. The verticle line | is joined to the bottom line and the slanted line / . If you tilt the verticle line towards the slanted line, it would cause the slanted line to increase in angle and thus achieve a steeper ramp. So the verticle brace could be made of swuare tube with a C cup on the top with holes for a pin to join it to the ramp. THe ramp could have different holes for the verticle brace to slide and lock in as the angle changes. I might need to draw this out. It was just a thought about making something where you didn't have to add anything or make a big change in structure to achieve the angle you wanted.

I've got a lot of it all figured out and just kinda going through some different ideas for some part to see which I think would work best for it. The engineer that does all my houses is going to do the (of course) engineering on it for me. I also talk to a few invention companies to get some ideas on what I need to do for that part of it. The one I'm going to go with, the guy was leaving for vacation in a couple days after I talked to him so as hopefully by the time he gets back I have all the details worked out and will be getting started on the process.

I made a 30* ramp at work on brake time, its 10' long. My truck ramps about a 500. Not to bad for a steep ramp. Its at our club property. One guy already rolled his Bravada on its side and it has only been there for 3 days. I was thinking about starting a tally list on the side to see how many dumbasses roll on it.

I STRONGLY suggest you have a waiver prepared for anyone running a ramp, private club or not.
The structure is a ramp "intended" for vehicles. You are legally(in the USA) 100% liable for any accidents, deaths or injuries.
Your buddy, may be your friend, but his wife or family may owe you nothing.
Not too many people can explain to their wives(or husbands?) how they totaled her new truck that they have 4 more years to pay on. Or worse, how they lost their arm where it became crushed under the rolled vehicle and they can't work anymore.
Just think about it.

Our club is a corporation and we do have insurance. All drivers that enter our events sign a waiver of liability. The truck that rolled on the ramp was an "offroad vehicle". So no harm done.

It's nice to know there are some responsible people and groups out there.
I just recently prepared a waiver for my friends property where we all hunt,ride,fish,shoot...drink.
Not all at the same time,nor in that particular order.
But, better safe than sorry. I hate to see him loose everything because of someones else's carelessness.

why remove the tires? Use axle from like a cememnt mixer or narrow trailer and have some kind of legs to put under it. Something simuliar to a boat trailer or if could be adapted a boat trailer with a lilt bed. If you look at a few old boat trailers you may get more ideas. Will think about this a little. You have to have a waiver for anything that you do now days.
