thanks for adding to my massive 10k in gear I got for my family trip. I just got 4 figure 9s, 4 suction cups, tarp and tarp poles. I already had some tarps for my 9 person tent footprint and for above the tent but having a covering behind my vehicle will be handy since that is where I am storing food, solar setup and electric cooler.
At 9:16 you need to press in the suction cup on the middle stub thingie and with a different finger or hand flip the switch, but keep pressing in the suction cup on that little stub when you do that. Than you have a good seal and it won't come off.
Absolute cracking good unique idea mate you really think outside the box with some excellent tarp setups well done you have hit this one out of the ball park.👍👍👍 I use your tarp setups on my vehicle, and they do the job just as well as an expensive fold out wing awning. Keep up the cracking good work, Wade from Australia.
Would love a link to the suction cups you bought.I’ve found several but none seem to have the lever to tighten the suction once in place. Always found suction cups work best with some water between the rubber disk and surface(years of using them for heavy electronic devices in a transport truck windshield). Thanks for the content!

@@cindylees391 thanks for the question, the hatch props it up a little but it does stay in place when you close it no problem. I did that when I slept in the jeep.
Hello. A couple of questions. 1-were you attaching to a smooth surface, 2-was the surface wet, 3-did you press the cup against the surface before flipping the tab. I understand that there can only be so much force put on them. I used them in my most recent camping video and they held up all night. Hope this helps.
This is the best idea and the best set up out of all the videos I watched .
Thank you, much appreciated!!

I’d probably use shock chord on the suction cup ends. Reduce some of the force and give a peace of mind

Cheers Wade, simplicity and affordability is the goal. Thanks for the positive comments !!
Thanks for the video. Can we get a parts list added to the description with links to amazon?
Magnet hooks for the win!
Mounting the suction cups on the side windows will be stronger than on the vehicles metal body.
I also found it works better on the windows! 👍
But will it damage the window seals over time?
I do the same thing, only I use a pool noodle on the hatch door!!!!
Hi, just found your video. Are you still using them and what’s your thoughts now?
Thanks for the videos. I really enjoy them. 👍 keep them coming.
Depending on my tarp set up, but yes they are very handy and work well. Thank you for watching !
Saw an oriental fellow use big suction cups while putting canopy on his pick up truck, now this one and I'm sold on the idea !
Oriental 😂😂😂
PS how about bug nets on the sides ?
VERY cool!!!
Not many trees in southern AZ...do have a video using poles instead of trees?
Have suction cups been tested thru heavy wind and rain?
Thanks!
Hi, sorry for the delay, I've has some issues with my notifications. Yes I did a video with the same set up using poles for that exact reason.
This is awesome. Where did you buy the gear? Best setup for tie down I’ve seen.

@@adventurelife1972 thank you!
Hi! what are the tensioners you have attached to the tarp that connect to the suction cup clips? you never mention those. Brilliant setup!
Those are Figure Nine by Nite IZE
@@adventurelife1972 ohhhhhh i get it now. The rope on those just looked thicker than the paracord going to the trees. Thanks!!!
Do you have any concerns about the suction cup straps scratching the window? Wind creating a flap-away situation?
Not really, all the components are plastic, I thought the same at first but I’m not concerned, good question!
can you shut the hatch for the night and leave it up and it stays?
@@cindylees391 thanks for the question, the hatch props it up a little but it does stay in place when you close it no problem. I did that when I slept in the jeep.
What's the name of the "quick clips"? I cant find it on amazon or google tia
They are figure 9 by Nite IZE
What size tarp did you use?
I believe this one was 8x10, I have used a bigger one that works well also
I tie off to the rim. No way it comes off or loose.
i like your videos but why dont you ever list the products
I will do that I the next video, thanks for watching!
What's the size of this tarp?
I tried the suction caps, but they kept popping off periodically. For me it’s been a fail. Good idea but.

What suction cups/brand are you using?
I ordered them on Amazon, not sure the brand name.
String goes on a yoyo, or around your finger as a reminder, you are using cordage.
I was going to say the same.
australian? oh mate 4x4 culture here is crazy hahahah roof racks and all shabangs
