If you don’t have a stud finder a strong magnet works very well. It will pick up the drywall screws. It is my go to now even though I own a stud finder.
By the way, I used your idea/instructions on mounting the OPT7 light bar. Came put great. I was thinking since you're the electrical guru, have you thought about mounting a 110 outlet for the bed of the Tundra?
Thanks for video. I want to do this with a wall strip and hang a dip bar attachment to it. I'm considering mounting the wall strip directly into the drywall and anchoring it to a single stud. I don't want to use a wood backplate if I don't have to. So I'd like your advice. Did you have any problems with the drywall between crushed under the force since you didn't use a backplate between the pullup bar and drywall? Thank you
If I understand you correctly you want to hang a dip bar off of a singular stud....I personally would not do that but thats just my opinion. I would mount some wood to the drywall and try to get multiple studs. I have not had drywall crushing issues likely due to how much surface area the bar is touching the wall with. Hope that helps
My apologies I didn’t realize what video you were referring to the way youtube shows the comments on the phone isn’t the best. You could mount them separately I would just measure everything with the bar fully assembled so that once you drill into the studs you don’t have to take it out and redo.

Hey Dave if I’m understanding your question correctly I think you are asking about how we made the markings for where to put the bar. We made the initial 2 hole marks without putting the bar on the wall. We did hold the bar up to the wall initially to get a rough estimate of how high on the wall we wanted it. We used those long metal rulers to make 2 hole marks on the wall 48 inches apart. This was so that we could mount the two arms to test fit the middle section. Hope that clears any confusion up.

You can also just do the tried and true "tapping" method ;)

Glad to hear it worked for you, I haven’t given much thought to putting an outlet into the bed.

@@TrevsGarage thanks for the advice. It is appreciated it
Do you feel like it sits far enough away from the wall so you're not hitting the wall while doing pull ups? Thanks.
Yes definitely the bar part you would grip furthest away from the wall is 22 inches away no problems there
@@TrevsGarage thanks!
I have this, can I just put the brackets up seperately? Seems like a pain to hold the whole thing up while marking and drilling

How thick is your wall , one brick or two brick ? Please reply sir
Not sure what you mean. This was mounted into a framed wall not a brick wall so it is into the studs.

You could do that biggest thing would be to make sure you’re using the correct fasteners for brick.
@@TrevsGarage thankyou sir
Put it on the wall and mark it?
