Ratchet straps work well and cinching down straps, lowering or loosening them is another story. I'm curious also as I'm in the process of DIYing a hoist system.
Hi sir, very bulletproof system. Just one question when you go down the rtt, with the strap ratchet system, thas doesn't drop all the way , it is easy to control ???? I m sur yes if you use this system....
Yeah it's actually not bad at all. The tent i have now is 160lbs and the one in this video is 96lbs. Even with my new tent its no issue lowering one side at a time.
I'm actually not sure. I recently upgraded the straps to longer ones for my new tent. I know they're pretty stout and probably overkill for what i need them to do.
They are the heartiest ones I could find at the hardware store that weren’t . And stainless. Not sure exactly on the specs. I think around 6-8” long, 3/8-1/2in diameter, and no clue on the thread.
I know it is probably just as easy, but you should make a video showing lowering the RTT.

Must be nice to be able to drive into your garage with a RTT on your car
I do the same thing, used lag bolts with eyelets screwed into the roof crossbeams instead of the 2x4 over the top but same exact idea!
About to do the same thing. You haven't had any problems?
Nice truck
Good job...no need to waste a ton of cash!
Smart Yinzer!!!
Great setup. Go Steelers!
Genius. Thx
simply brilliant
What is the size of the eyebolt?
Awesome! What straps did you use? Where did you get them?

heads up the flag is supposed to hang the other way when vertical!
Hi, what ratchet straps did you use ie, what’s their lashing capacity?

Would those eye screws hold weight? What kind of eye screws did you use specifically? Thx.

No issue’s whatsoever.
