LT gets an amazing 1100+ RTI (pics)

Had a awesome Tech-day and get together at Metal Tech today (thanks Mark and LT!)

Here are a couple of photos of LT getting an amazing 1100+ (I think it was 1137) on the ramp:

Great pics, The guys at Metal Tech are First Class!

Anita and I really enjoyed meeting Mark and his Dad and hitting the trails at the Summit last year.

I was doing the ramp travel measurement, so I only got this pic, because he was the last one up the ramp. BDFJ was taking a bunch and I bet he will post up a link to them today. Of the 15 or so FJs, the highest combined score (front + rear) was around 1100.

For a stock FJ, I would say we were seeing anywhere between 460 to 520, but there are a couple of factors that come into play when you introduce the human element...for example, do you measure the travel up the ramp from the ground to the centerline of the axle or from the start of the ramp (we measured from the ramp)? Also, estimating exactly where the centerline of the axle would be on the ramp can introduce a fuzzy factor. An inch here, and inch there, all can easily push your score up or down a bit.

Once you get a aftermarket suspension, your RTI score can actually go down. Mine was lower than some stock FJs because of the stiffness of the SAW springs...the offside tire will lift off the ground sooner.
