How to Lift a Roof Top Tent Off Your Jeep with Plastic Pipe - SKETCHY! 

HAHA!!! That's a good one!

I was thinking that as I watched that as well!

Thank You Thank You Thank You!

Well DANG!!! Thanks so much for the support... I really appreciate that a ton!!!!!

HA! Thanks so much... really appreciate hearing from you!!!!

Thanks so much! I just have to carve out some time to go through the footage... there's some really great stuff there! Good luck on getting your Jeep!

Thank you!! 😁

HAHA! That's great... two for one!

OK! Thanks for being here!

Glad you appreciated it! Thanks for watching

I'm so happy to hear such awesome stuff... being able to make someone smile or laugh or learn a little is why I do this!!! Thank You Thank You Thank You!

That was kind of the point... thanks for watching and saying hey!

HAHA! That is absolutely hilarious. Thanks for the legit LOL

Lol

Ha, Yes!

HAHA! I admit to not thinking this through enough before attempting but we all do that from time to time!

Glad you get the humor! Just having some fun here!

I was hoping to give a few people a chuckle... thank you!

Good tip, Thanks!

Howdy and Welcome to the channel! Scratches for Pinto the Dog!

lol

You know it! Thanks for watching!

Thanks so much! Yeah I like that silly little dog.

We are dudes... and dudes like crazy contraptions like this!

I like the ingenuity! Thanks for watching

And it might be going back on in a week or so...

Yeah, this was impulsive and half-baked for sure. From idea to done was about an hour and a half so it was perfect in that respect.

Yes, yes it was.

HA! Awesome comment... made me LOL for sure! Gotta have fun!

Kind of... LOL!

Now that is funny... Thanks for sharing!

Love this idea!

Thanks!

Thanks so much for watching and yes ... I still laugh when I think about how many things could've gone worse on this one!

I hope not...LOL! This was meant to be cheap(ish) and fast. From idea to home depot to tent on the ground was an hour and a half!

Thanks so much! I like how you're thinking there... very elaborate!

I'm glad you appreciated the sillyness. LOL Thanks!

Sorry to hear about your pup... thanks so much for saying hey!

It doesn't fit in the garage anymore but good idea. Thanks so much for watching and saying HEY!

Good call!

Yes, a little crazy and a little "not smart" as well.... lol

Yes, a little crazy and a little "not smart" as well.... lol

Hmm. Interesting technique!

Good suggestion. I just wanted to try this quick and dirty and kind of cheap attempt for the video.

Yep, that's a good suggestion! Thanks!

You’re welcome. I was watching the video (and have seen previous) so I have noticed that your shed and tool shed are fairly close but far enough to drive through. If you could get something to go on the roof of each or attach to the sides of something, it work great for lifting off the tent. Same concept as the PVC version but a more permanent and stable solution! :) hope something works out! Love your videos and I love your Jeep!!

That there is a great idea!

Ha! Thanks... I was going to buy a bunch more stuff but it was getting expensive for how quick and dirty I wanted to try and get this done. I didn't realize the black pipe was stronger... almost bought that stuff.

autoedit haha. All good man. Love your videos on the Jeep. It’s been keeping me occupied while I’m over here in Nigeria. 4 more days and i get back to my 2014 JKU. Pinto is awesome by the way.. reminds me of my kaylee for temperament. I’ve been meaning to comment but wanted to get caught up to present day. I highly recommend Kargo access steps for your door hinges if you want easier access to the roof rack. If you didn’t want to spend a lot more but reinforce what you have you could try Aircraft cable and turnbuckles for tensioning. Use bolts run through the tube with a cable size hole drilled crosswise in the end of the threads and a big fender washer on either side of the pipe precurved to the pipe curvature through the clever use of a ball peen hammer and repeated striking. An anvil would be of great help there but you could just whackem as they sit on a work bench or a vice. For that matter just bend em with a pair of pliers! Make the bolts long enough to seat the nut and still have more thread and the cable hole exposed. Mount the bolts through the beefy section of the joints and then about halfway down the legs. Right where you think they flex the most. If you did that and had additional pipe on three sides at the bottom. You’d probably do ok for the sketchiest tent hoist structure awards. Probably take second at least.🤪

Howie Murray Came here to add this! 90s on the sides (to stabilize front to back) and 45 tees to triangulate the wobble might be worth a shot. It'd get a like/view from me for sure!

Me too!

Yes, glad you got that... would not do that again... lol

LOL! Thanks!!!

😂

True!

Pail of sand

radioredline88 that will work also

Yeah, dogs are the best. Can't imagine not having her around!

for sure mine would lay under the back tire like a wheel chuck just to be near me when I was working on my truck.really miss him

LOL! I agree, thanks!

So glad you liked it!

Good suggestion!

Thats a good point , cut the PVC and put 3 braces in the middle and you didnt wase that money spent on making this in the first place! Jason your on to something.

LOL

LOL!

That sounds like a solid way to do it. I didn't want to build anything permanent yet since I'm not sure this thing will live on the Jeep.

Mine doesn't either, I slide if to and from when I need it. Wouldn't be so bad if my garage door was a little higher.

Probably but less fun than pvc pipe and probably much safer.

Thanks dude!

LOL! That's a good suggestion and I thought of that but those T's are like $3.50 each and the cost was adding up on me. Thanks so much for watching and saying a few nice things!!!

I accept your challenge! There might be a camping trip coming up in the next few weeks and it'll have to go back up there so... game on

Thanks for the sub!

Thanks for watching... something more secure would definitely be better!

LOL

That is the AEV Brute roof rack and yes it mounts thru the top and to the roll bars.

I like that idea... no accessible trees strong enough for me though

LOL! Thanks Bruce!

I like that idea

LOL!

Many things I do in my life should have a warning label...lol

autoedit sorry man I could not resist. Had to pick just a little. Jeep looks great and at some point mine will get there. I do enjoy the videos and wish you the best of luck with future modifications.

To much work. This took under 2 hours from stupid idea to tent on the ground.

I think if you added a connecting pipe's on the bottom (front to back) it would greatly strengthen that devise, unless you already cut it up and threw it away... PS love the cameo's from Pinto.

My Jeep doesn't fit in the garage anymore.

Yep!
