In 11 years I've had 3 jeep been without a jeep for a year and now about to buy another once u have one you'll always have one it's a good tool to get were most people can't get to for camping hiking hunting or just wheeling also including the scenic view u have on the way...
I like the simplicity, so many people go out and buy crazy expensive solar showers and stuff but a sprayer works just as well. Never thought about painting one though! Makes it look a whole lot better and professional. My only issue with your set up is refilling it. Maybe you could add a filler port somehow so you don’t have to keep taking it off.
Jeffery Cummins Completely agree! And yeah I actually thought about adding a cutting a hole on the side for a filler port, but couldn’t find one that would work well.
You really have some great ideas and one of these days some after market company, if they’re smart, is going to make you VP of new product development! Your ideas are practical and unlike other mods don’t cost an arm, leg and kidney to buy.
Thank you Keith! I really appreciate that comment. One of my passions for this channel is to show people easy, creative solutions to things like this. Plus it’s way more rewarding knowing you made it rather than bought it. Thanks for watching 🤘🏼
Arkansas Offroad - I am using your video for a table on the tailgate but got a plastic cutting board from Sam’s, have to size it, and then mount it. Washes off easier than wood and doesn’t harbor bacteria, is pretty indestructible, and won’t rot or warp. You’re an inspiration.
I also built a table using his as the model. I had a bit of trouble finding a good way to keep the magnet attached to the wood. Finally decided gorilla glue was the way to go.
Good idea! You showed in the video that you brushed your teeth using the water from the sprayer. Just keep in mind that the plastic isn't food safe. The small amount used to brush your teeth probably has no health concerns, but definitely don't use it for drinking and cooking.
I did the same thing to take camping, but added a brass combination garden nozzle to it.... Much better as a water supply/shower than the commercial products out there to go on your roof rack.
Dude this is Awesome. I had considered a weed sprayer before but like you said, they're normally egg shaped. Not only is this one perfect but it looks great as well. Good Job and Thanks! ~SKI
What a great idea! BTW I kept seeing you at the 7P presentations and I wanted to come tell you to keep up the good work on the videos but I didn't want to interrupt the instructor.
With rachet straps why don't u get kayak straps they build heavy duty ones but also once pulled tight tie slack away work alittle different but does away with the rachet
Hey, great video. I love the simplicity. I was (one of?) the guy asking about your water setup when I saw it on your camping video. I'm a food safety scientist, so the first question that comes to mind is whether the plastic is food grade since you're using it to brush your teeth and wash your dishes. It looks like the harbor freight sprayer is polyethylene (HDPE probably), which is generally considered food safe. Are there any markings on the tank? Looks like the orange hose is PVC, which may or may not be, depending on if it's treated with anything. Anyway, don't want to be a debbie downer -- I really like the set up. Just something to think about if you're using it for cooking or drinking water. If you can find more information on the materials, I'd be happy to ask some of my chemist buddies about it.
Appreciate you thinking about that man! I don't use this for drinking, only for cleaning, brushing teeth, etc. Not sure about the markings on there, but I'll check it out. Thanks for the heads up!
They have spray paint made to adhere to plastic. Also check out diy camp showers. Your buddy Overland Addict has one. You can use it for everything you need plus a shower.
Cool idea I will be doing similar to my JK thinks for the videos, I also like your tailgate vid now I have build my own version very cool ! ~ Bloodyfellow
Hey brother great video and tips on using the fumigating bottle for extra water source to wash anything you needed to wash! But I have one question bro to what l level do you stop filling it with water? Looking forward to hearing from you. Till the next video this is Big Boy from Texas Peace out ✌️
Too bad that container isn’t intended for holding potable water .. may not be smart to drink out of it But pretty smart for general use water for washing hands etc
Nice project. I had a friend who made one out of a free kombucha keg and it was pretty awesome but some of the parts were difficult to resource here in Hawaii. I went to Ace Shopped up parts for a similar design but it turned out to be a few dollars more to buy a premade camping one for $40. But it kind of sucks
Sitting here now trying to make this, but im stuck...how did you get the black hose and the air hose connected to the brass single 1/4" barb ? Loved this idea btw and building it to fit in my jeep to go camping this weekend
How did you attach the Velcro to the tank? Great Idea. I have seen some things like that for over 200 bucks. I have an overland trailer I am definitely adding that mod. Thanks. BTW Just subscribed.
i would think mounting it vertical would work better for being able to use all the water in it.... I bet there was still a lot of water in it when you unstrapped it?
theres a better way you can make jerry cans pressurse with a few fittings some hoes and sacrificial can lid. take a lid drill one hole for your water hose have this go through long enough to reach the bottom of the jerry can on the same lid drill another hole for your air compressor to attach you could go bare bones and just stick a valve stem in or make a regulator and valve set up. all you gotta do is put a few psi in the can and it will push the water out through the hose like a straw
I did this mod and it's so cool. However I used it for the radiator today and the pickup spout only is in water till its over half full considering it's on it's side. Do you have a hack to relocate the pickup point or am I just a moron. Well I am but...
Octavio Cardoso Thank you! If you watch near the very end of the video, you can see it in the background as I’m off-roading. It stays pretty solid. And no, the straps don’t crush it.
It’s been almost a year since this video was posted. How is the paint holding up and would you change anything about it now that you have had it so long?
Arkansas Offroad on insta I had a similar setup sean_martin9 , I have the rampage tool Gerry cans so I use them for tools tire iron oils ect , so comes in handy for storage reasons , anyways awesome Jeep keep up the good work !
This is not overlanding, its overloading and unnecessary. I've been camping, off roading for 60 years and never needed any of this. Waste of time money and space.
Nice work, love the channel, I am a small UA-camr and trying to get some support and advice. I just launched my S.M.O.R.R video. Please check it out and tell me what you think.
You make me feel like I absolutely need a Jeep.
In 11 years I've had 3 jeep been without a jeep for a year and now about to buy another once u have one you'll always have one it's a good tool to get were most people can't get to for camping hiking hunting or just wheeling also including the scenic view u have on the way...
You do! I’ve had my first Jeep over 9 years and still chugging along.
As usual, very informative, practical and frugal, you really think of every detail. Thanks for sharing.
Check out the ATV sprayers at tractor supply they have 12 volt pumps I got the 15 gallon

Arkansas Offroad you could cut a hole and tap it, then install a boiler drain. Great video man!
Overland Addict Thanks! Had no idea what those were called.
man you're gonna have my Jeep all decked out soon :p

Great idea! Thanks for showing the connectors for the hose. Like the idea of connecting it to the roll bar.
This is such a great idea! Going to go out and buy one today for a trip we are taking tomorrow. Thanks for sharing this!
Good idea! You showed in the video that you brushed your teeth using the water from the sprayer. Just keep in mind that the plastic isn't food safe. The small amount used to brush your teeth probably has no health concerns, but definitely don't use it for drinking and cooking.
Thanks! Yeah I don't use it for drinking at all. Just cleaning dishes and the occasional teeth brushing. Thanks for looking out!
Great idea! I need one to clean off my , mountain bike or kayak and paddle board before I mount them back on the TJ.
I did the same thing to take camping, but added a brass combination garden nozzle to it.... Much better as a water supply/shower than the commercial products out there to go on your roof rack.
Nice!
Dude this is Awesome. I had considered a weed sprayer before but like you said, they're normally egg shaped. Not only is this one perfect but it looks great as well. Good Job and Thanks! ~SKI
Very rad, I was surprised how strong the water pressure is!
Grant, you’re my ratchet strap hero. Genius!
Lol, thanks Nathan!
Super cool man! I just bought a TJ I've been using for overlanding, and needed something like this. Very cool!
What a great idea!
BTW I kept seeing you at the 7P presentations and I wanted to come tell you to keep up the good work on the videos but I didn't want to interrupt the instructor.
Thanks!
Damn good idea, and video! I see a weekend project in my future.
And who would give this a thumbs down?? 🤷♂️
You can buy spray can paint made for painting on plastic. Less cost than plasti dip.
Excellent idea! I have one to water my plants. Definitely doing it. Thanks pal
That’s really clever! Doing for my Jeep!
Great idea
If you need more water, just sand, or strip and sand and paint that first tank! Make a bracket to hold them one above the other!
With rachet straps why don't u get kayak straps they build heavy duty ones but also once pulled tight tie slack away work alittle different but does away with the rachet
Super cool😎😎
I drive a JKU but your Jeep makes me want a TJ!
Great DIY!!!! I dig that setup, cheap and easy. Keep up the great work!
Pretty cool.. I better start clearing up my jeep..I have too many junk in there..and not many things are useful.
Well played Sir! Excellent solution.

Perfect size Bro ..... Great idea for clean hands & shoes affter the mud or swamp ✌
Hey I like that idea. I think I’m going to try it.
Dude, thank you. I love this. Installing my in my truck asap
Awesome!
They have spray paint made to adhere to plastic. Also check out diy camp showers. Your buddy Overland Addict has one. You can use it for everything you need plus a shower.
Yeah, his is freaking awesome! My goal was to make something smaller that's a little easier to build.
Your paint jobs are dope man!
Cool idea I will be doing similar to my JK thinks for the videos, I also like your tailgate vid now I have build my own version very cool !
~ Bloodyfellow
Great Idea!
only downside is having to take it down when it needs refilling
Nice. Going to try this.
genius.
Great idea! Hooking one up on my Jeep this weekend! 👍🏻
Great idea!
Hey brother great video and tips on using the fumigating bottle for extra water source to wash anything you needed to wash! But I have one question bro to what l level do you stop filling it with water? Looking forward to hearing from you. Till the next video this is Big Boy from Texas Peace out ✌️
Big Boy Frank S Appreciate it man! I fill it about 90% full. So about 3 or 4 inches from the top.
Hey brother thank for responding to my question. I really appreciate it! 😁
Too bad that container isn’t intended for holding potable water .. may not be smart to drink out of it
But pretty smart for general use water for washing hands etc
Awesome idea!! Going to hit up harbor freight tomorrow!! X-D
Nice project. I had a friend who made one out of a free kombucha keg and it was pretty awesome but some of the parts were difficult to resource here in Hawaii. I went to Ace Shopped up parts for a similar design but it turned out to be a few dollars more to buy a premade camping one for $40. But it kind of sucks
That's cool. I'm going to try that with a bigger one.
Great idea and execution as always. Thanks
Clever but not food grade plastic.
I have one of these, they work great, but never thought to mount it like that, I guess I have a new weekend project lol
That's a pretty cool idea. Thank you
I love it
GREAT JOB !!!! ....I WILL HAVE ONE ! THANKS.
Sweet!
Sitting here now trying to make this, but im stuck...how did you get the black hose and the air hose connected to the brass single 1/4" barb ? Loved this idea btw and building it to fit in my jeep to go camping this weekend
Very cool and creative..
👏👏🇺🇸👍
nice giving great ideas for my jeep
Love this, thanks for the idea!
Go , Arkansas!
MacGyver 🤟🏼
Awesome Jeep job mate, been thinking about doing this on my tj, but not sure it was worth it
Where did you get your rooftop speaker boxes ? 😊
Yea that's a good idea,thanks Fred nz
Just wanted to be comment 101...lol. great video.
How did you attach the Velcro to the tank? Great Idea. I have seen some things like that for over 200 bucks. I have an overland trailer I am definitely adding that mod. Thanks. BTW Just subscribed.
Glad to help! Velcro is just sticky on the back.
i would think mounting it vertical would work better for being able to use all the water in it.... I bet there was still a lot of water in it when you unstrapped it?

Great video. I have one question how does it handle the bouncing around of going off-road? Can you get the straps tight enough without crushing it?
Octavio Cardoso Thank you! If you watch near the very end of the video, you can see it in the background as I’m off-roading. It stays pretty solid. And no, the straps don’t crush it.
Thanks for the idea man! Made one myself. Have you had any issues with leaking out the top?
As long as it's pressurized, I'd mount it as low as possible
It’s been almost a year since this video was posted. How is the paint holding up and would you change anything about it now that you have had it so long?
Hey I was wondering about the fitting you used to go from one line to the twisted line? What size and what is it called?
Great idea!
I’m gonna figure out a way to use this on the JK or the trailor.
Thanks!
👍👍🏾👍
Where did you get the dash plate cover or replacement? (the paint matched dash piece)
You could actually redo the first one and have two :)
Hey what happened to the rack and Gerry cans
took them off. Wanted a little less clutter. Might just put the rack back...I was never using the jerry cans.
Arkansas Offroad on insta I had a similar setup sean_martin9 , I have the rampage tool Gerry cans so I use them for tools tire iron oils ect , so comes in handy for storage reasons , anyways awesome Jeep keep up the good work !
Where do we pick up an Arkansas Offroad sticker my man? Also I’m bummed Andrew Yang ads played before the vid.
Cashapp or Venmo me! $3 per sticker shipped. Message me on Instagram @grizzy.gram
Huh, that's weird. I don't have any control over which ads come up.
