Let me know what other projects you'd like me to tackle!! I really want to rebuild my roof rack to look more like a Prinsu rack. Also looking into building solar shower and a deployable shower curtain.
The shower curtain would be awesome I'm thinking about building one right now.
Would love to see a prinsu type rack. Great instruction!!
Seen @SlimPotatohead build a wind deflector using an old $25 snowboard. Would be interesting on how you'd do a wind deflector for a roof rack.

Been waiting on this video. Had a feeling it was coming. This is awesome. For not uploading very often your camera work and production value is incredible. Not often you get guys that can show off cool ideas but also get the camera work and editing right. Keep it up!!
Thanks Micah! I really appreciate the kind words!
I'm new to your videos and have finally found someone that thinks and creates/builds like I enjoy doing. I will be be watching the rest of your videos....keep 'em coming!
Thank you!
I've taken up welding when I was 13 my dad pushed me into welding never looked back now I'm 52 i cant tell you enough how much time and money I've saved doing and building stuff your self Been a fabricator for 25 years I've had my hands in everything made a lot of money doing it take this trade up you won't regret it
What an incredible build. So inspired to start welding!
I’ve been waiting for this one! Thank you again Patrick, for your amazing craftsmanship!
This one is for you man! You are welcome!
Will be using this guide to make the one for my Subaru Forester! Thanks man for doing this! Me and my buddy have been studying the pictures of the Gobi trying to figure out how to do it and then I stumbled across this! YT GOLD!!!!
Awesome job! I love your DIY vehicle projects. Thanks brother!
Thank you!! 🙏🙏
Again Patrick, thanks for another great video.
I'll construct mine to mount primarily over my Right Side Rear Tire. The rungs will be close spaced to accommodate my Bad Back and Knees. The bottom 3 rungs will fold up and lock in place for driving.
I'll design it to clamp onto your new Roof-Rack so it can be placed wherever needed.
Thanks again for posting your great construction methods.......
I’ve been waiting so long for this! Thanks!!!
Haha, Get to it, man! Glad I could help!
Mighty fine job kind Sir.
Well done.
Cheers for sharing.
Thanks you! 🙏🙏
Think I just found my next project
dude!! i just finished mine!! thanks for the idea👍👍
Great job man looking professional 👍
Great job! Thanks for making the video.
Thank you!
Hell yea! Badass build!
Wow that is impressive and inspiring. I’m going to try to make one too. Thanks
You nailed it!
Man. I don’t usually watch long videos like this but wow.
You did a great job and I’ve been ready to tackle something like this.
Great video quick and to the point.
I loved the way you made it simple and nice tricks
Thanks for watching! That's what I want my channel to be about!
Man that’s awesome!! Awesome job Sir.
Thank you!! 🙏🙏
That was rad thanks for sharing!
Thank you!
Thanks a lot, I will give it a try to do it myself.
Patrick awesome work man. I love your passion of DIYing your own stuff. I have a YT channel as well and I can appreciate all the fabbing, video work, and explanations that go along with it. Ill be buiilding my own ladder soon and this video has help tremendously. Keep of the great work!
Thanks man! 🙏🙏
Well done great ideas thanks
awesome job I like your videos and you explain everything really well.
Thank you!
Great work 👍 I’ve never tried welding & I don’t have a fourby, but I learnt stuff & got inspired, so thanks!
Mine is a twoby 🤫
@@PatrickRemington haha, I won’t tell a soul! 😉
That turned out great!
Thank you!
Looks so good. I'm wanting to do this to my Rav4
Heck yeah! Do it!
Awesome build! definitely will be referencing your video for my future ladder build on my E-150.
Nice! I have a e-350 ambulance build hopefully coming soon to the channel. I also ride mtb at the Ridgeland trails and the quarry in Jackson/Madison ms. Saw some of your videos from there!
@@PatrickRemington Awesome! yea I noticed the TCMBA sticker! Looking forward to some E350 vids. Hope to start on mine soon!
Excellent job 👍
Thank you!
Awesome work Patrick. I'm going to apply this to my Hummer H2. Those Gobi ladders are super expensive.
Awesome tutorial… I now have a project for tomorrow, lol
Im going to give this a shot on my 5th gen today.
I just finished the one I made for my 02 Rav4, I had to put some very specific bends in the tube because I wanted to keep the wing on and it had to make its way around the spare tire holder. All in all it worked great and will also hold an extra jerry can.
Nice! Did you follow this build or find it later?
@@PatrickRemington I saw yours and then just went into my garage and started it, nobody has made a video for a rav4 so I had to figure out a bunch of little issues but it works great now. I just painted it and threw it on for the final time, the gas can is still coming in the mail and I'm just gonna do my own thing for mounting it, ill probably just weld some brackets onto a rung and go from there.
Awesome. For version 3, hopefully you already have a tube bending tool as it is a time saver compared to welding.
really want to do this on my 2017 Armada!
I'd love to try this with my outback.
Sempre aprendendo muito, com seus vídeos😃😃😃😃😃 parabéns por cada projeto esoluções encontrada...´~
Very nice!!
Thank you!
I would love a quick disconnect design. I love the abaility to roll the window all the way down and occasionaly load large items that way. It would be nice to be able to remove the ladder when needed very quicly (under 30 seconds).
It’d be nice, but i’m not sure it could be done on a budget. At that point just open the door, ya know?
If I wasn’t putting money into just getting my 3rd gen 4Runner road worthy I would be buying a welding machine this weekend lmao amazing video my man
Thanks man!
i like your license plate! :)
Haha thanks! I know I got an least one additional subscriber for that effort!
Nice 👍👍
Thanks!
very nice
Thank you!
Do you think the mounting brackets you’d designed will fit on my 4th gen? I know the ladder will be slightly different but I believe the brackets will still work. Awesome vid!
Man you're freakin awesome 🙌
Thank you!
The end of thé rtt project (the one with the fiberglass) with the paint job and the system you've used to put in on the roof of the car ;)
Awesome vid. I'd love to do some welding as soon as i dont live in an apartment and have my own work space. What kind of welder/types of welding do you have? Dont realy know difference between different types (MIG, etc)
Nice work and thank you for sharing. Wondering if Gobi has contacted you already. I am pretty sure they have patent their design...😂
haha Thanks! Nah not yet. As long as I'm not not manufacturing and selling them as my own then I'm good! I was contacted by the owner of a Hammock Mount company from a recent video where i replicated their product but it was to thank me for giving them credit and he sent me a shirt and some koozies which was cool.
Savage!
You should explore the world of unistrut! I opted for it instead of conduit on my DIY roof rack. The customization is endless. Also, do you have a good recommendation for a beginner welding setup?
I would get a 110 flux core/mig welder. You don't need shield gas with flux core wire so it's cheaper and good to start with. Whenever you want to start MIG welding you can just buy a bottle of 75/25 shield gas. Flux core welding spatters and Sparks more it doesn't look quite as clean. Mig spatters less and looks cleaner. I would try to find something used first. Nothing too old tho. Welders have gotten so much better and cheaper in the last few years. Lincoln electric, Hobart, Vulcan (harbor freight) are all good choices for anyone. Watch some review videos here on UA-cam. If you would rather buy new I'd look at a machine from YesWelder Which is the brand I was using. I've been very surprised by the quality for the price. Hope this helps! Let em know if you have any other questions!
great video ive been thinking of doing this for a while and might start next week. also did you have to remove the spoiler for the ladder to mount?
Yes, you have to remove the spoiler. I used the spoiler mounting holes to secure the ladder on the top left.
You should invest in a conduit bender. It would be much better than cutting out wedges. And the bends would match up perfectly.
My bends did match up perfectly. I also would have waisted some conduit learning how to get perfect bends and didn’t want to deal with that. But the bends would definitely look better that’s for sure
Love the fantastic video! But why not paint over the galvanize coating?? All vehicle base metal is galvanized and it add additional protection from rust...
I read that it needs to be primed with a latex primer for it to work. If you prime with oil-based primer it will adhere initially but will quickly fail. You need to remove the coating to weld it anyway and my spray paint is oil-based so it's just easier to go ahead and remove it. With a good paint job, I'm not worried about rust.
Can I use flex weld for this project
How are the trunk struts holding up to the weight? We're you able to find an upgraded set to handle the additional weight of the ladder?
It's not much weight so they hold just fine.
It would be nice to make some of these accessories for the mercedes w163 ml320
It will not damage or bend the door base of the ladder if you climb? What is the capacity load for it?
should have drilled the angle out first then used it as a template to position the studs on the plate... great idea !
Yep! Should have clamped them together and drilled through both of them
I would love to see a RTT made of coroplast what say you.
I can see the title now. 🙌 the MOST ULTRA LIGHT RTT EVER!
Ive never seen ONE person climb their $400 Gobi...they always have a collapsible ladder. Build is always better than bought.
You could probably braize that together if you had strong enough brazing rods.
I'd weld it because I weigh slightly more than an average moon, plus I have a welder, but I believe you *could* braze this together.
Yeah, I’m not sure. I don’t have any experience with brazing.
@@PatrickRemington Keep up the good work, bud. Loving the DIY RTT community you seem to have started, it's awesome!
@@antontaylor4530 Thanks man! Glad you are enjoying it!
biutyfull ladder, can you do one for my 2005 chevy conversion van
Thanks! No, I can not.
Nice to see you making this stuff yourself. I would caution the use of anything Gobi like. They have proven a litigious group.
Would this work for a RAV4 2021?
you earn a subscribe
I tell you what would make it even better, if you could mask off the top half of the steps and then put a thick coat of some nonslip paint on it
Dude ill just buy one off u for my 4th gen
I’m a commercial hvac tech and I work with conduit almost daily and it made me so uncomfortable seeing you chop up that conduit. All I could think of was the damage that would probably do to wires in it 😂 great build I love this
It would cool to have made one of the bars fat and flat, so you could mount a rotopax to it.
Will you make me one for my Honda Element lol
Hey, curious. If I don't have a tig would a mig suffice???
Absolutely! I was just using it because that’s what I was leaning at the time.
@@PatrickRemingtongood to know. Cuz I have the old gen 3 ravs with the spare at the back and I can't find any ladders for this vehicle and even if I do its like 800 bux. So thank you for this guide.
can i use pipe bender?
Yes definitely! I just don't have one
Which tube and diameter you use ?
22:51
is there any other way to do the bottom bracket?
im mig welding and everytime i tac it warps the nut and the bolt will no longer thread.
I would get a tap cutter tool that matches the nut you are using and just re-tap the threads after you weld the nuts on. Does that make sense?
@@PatrickRemington yes that makes sense, if i saw your reply sooner i would've done that, instead i used some threaded tabs from my motorcycle, worked perfect
Hey! your gaz debit is too low and the angle of the electrode is too vertical. try to make about 80 to 90 degrees of angle between added metal and electrode you'll have better results. cheers
What welder are you using?
It’s an AC-DC tig welder by yes welder yeswelder.com/products/tig250p-acdc
Thank you Great work
Not really a fan of the sharp points at the bends, do you think it's possible to heat the conduit to bend it without cutting slits into it.
Actually looking online I think I can just use a regular conduit bender to get the angles. Thanks for the video gonna attempt one for my fzj80. Was originally gonna buy one for an FJ and modify it, but this is cheaper and I can make it however I want.
@@jaimereyes7480 Yeah you can definitely use a conduit bender just wanted to show how to do it without the bender.
Why did you cut and weld instead of simply bend the conduit? It is engineered to be bent, that's why is called malleable versus the harder style called rigid. Save a lot of timed and energy.
Because I don’t have a conduit bender and didn’t feel like buying one and wasting metal trying to figure out the angles of the bends.
I took a drink every time you used the word "super"...now I'm super drunk.
😂😂
@@PatrickRemington I'm going to build one for my 2002 4runner. I'm going to make the ladder sides out of 2" flat bar 3/16" thick, and use extruded aluminum for steps to match my roof rack. I am leaving the rear spoiler on, so will need to modify the upper bracket. Enjoyed watching this and got plenty of ideas from your build. Great job.
@@snowhiterover Nice! i'd love to see that project!
Nothing bad in what you did by cutting and welding the electrical conduit, you might have been able to find cheap or rented or even bought a tubing bender for electrical conduit. home Depot sell them for about $30. If you have other projects where you will be using the conduit, it might be something to look into for those projects.
Yep.. The reason I avoided that method was to keep from having to buy a new tool I would rarely use and I wanted to avoid the learning curve where I might ruin a few pieces before figuring it out.
How much do you charge if I was to ask you to make me one lol
If you are using the wire conduits to build the ladder, you can just use the handheld bending tool, all Electrician do that way, why cut and weld them ?
The first reason is that I don't have that tool and wanted to avoid buying another took that I wouldn't really need again. Also, that tool comes with a learning curve and I didn't want to waste any conduit try to learn out to get the bends just right.
Shouldn't see any sparks with TIG welding, gotta clean your metal better.
Yes I know. I’ve been tig welding for a week before this video
@@PatrickRemington Oh dang, a whole week, look out! Just razing ya, man. Trying to help. I've been doing it over 20 years.
@@dREaDneck_Moto haha yeah I know.. tig welding has a heck of a learning curve! Got lots to learn!
Being an engineer I would like to add that although you like the clean look, I would ensure that in future you always have at least two threads showing through the nuts to give it the full locking capability and security… But amazing ideas and amazing job
Very rough work brother
I'll take that as a compliment
Just my two cents, but I don’t believe beginner welders should cut their teeth on structural items. Stick to non-structural projects until you learn how to make a good weld. I also would not trust half inch conduit with my body weight
