You think it’s safe this way? Always wondered about the hardtop not warping or bowing. Or the strength of the gutters taking the weight. Looks like a good system
Totally safe. I couldn’t imagine the hardtop warping or anything, that would be unsafe to drive!
I got your JK twin 2 months ago. Now to go topless! Thanks for the video… there’s a bunch out there (or here… 😵💫).
I’m looking for a roof rack too. Which one did you get?
Nice! This is the one I got, I didn't need full width: amzn.to/3TSTMV2

Ha! I have that very basket in my wish list! But no, I’m looking for the rack that the basket sits on. I have a JK, so one like you have might not fit mine. 🤷🏻♂️
I got the stuff to build my own roof-lifter-off-thingy. Nice and simple. Now to find the trusses to screw the eyes into. The rest will be a piece of cake. 😄
@gto49us Ah, those are just crossbars but yeah they need to be fit for JKs. Easy enough to find on Amazon. Good luck with the build!
Nice ride! I have a 2021 Gladiator Willys hard top. Ima have to try this. #duckduckjeep
It's probably not the simplest to lift the top but it's gotta be the cheapest! One day I'll splurge for a better system.
So if you don’t have a luggage rack. What can you do with the straps at that point?
I've seen some people put the straps front to back inside/underneath the roof. Once you loosen the bolts you can move the roof back a little to make room then the straps can go all the way through with the back window open.
Thanks for the video. About to do this and ordering parts but noticed your straps in the video have hooks already on them but the link to the straps don’t have them. Did you buy the hooks separately and just put them through the end of your strap or did it come with them?
Oh hey you're right, I didn't notice that. Yeah I bought mine at Home Depot. I'll find better ones on Amazon and change the link.
There are better: amzn.to/4bngNFw
Awesome thanks!
Yo when is d I y costume squad coming back. Those were the best
Thanks, I just did the Mandalorian costume, did you see that one? It’s so hard to make them totally on my own for this channel yet when I do no one watches 😭
What rack do you have? I was curious if a rack would support the weight!
amzn.to/3TSTMV2 This is the rack, it looks like the crossbars are no longer available. Those are attached well enough, the roof itself it not actually all that heavy.
Do you have a video on lowering it back down?
I don't. What I do is lower it slightly and make sure it's pretty lined up before going all the way. But as long as it's close, it's fairly forgiving and you can hover it into the right position before letting it all the way down. One side at a time of course.
@@DustFilmsOriginals thank you! Keep up the good work!
@@DustFilmsOriginals How do you lower it since those type of straps release with quite a bang/drop when you pull the release? Do you use a 2nd person to hold the top up in some way?
Luggage rack privledge
facts
what if the straps fail tho
It's highly unlikely, they are rated for 500 pounds each with a break strength of 1,500 pounds. This roof is pretty light, less than 150 pounds in total.
How heavy is it?
Not sure. But before I built this my wife and I could lift it off.
About 150 lbs from what I've read.
First
nailed it
@@DustFilmsOriginals omg big fan
Start doing homemade movies again
If someone pays for it
