so while doin some urban last night the drop-in ramp broke so i need to build/find something new to use as the drop ramp
it has to be able to fit in an SUV too so it cant be too big
any ideas?

i was using 3, 2 x 6s
i think a piece of plywood that long and thick would be too expensive

go to your dump and try to find a fold out table.  Usualy theyre decent sized and have a good surface for sliding down

theres lots of options for ataching it to the box.
you could just screw it and unscrew it everytime you use it. the one turtleman and i made uses ropes that tie to the box so we just untie when we put it away

dude, instead of 2x6s, use two 8' studs and a 2x8' sheet of ply wood. you can toss it on the roof if you need to but most suvs can have a sheet of ply inside 'em
