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 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
I was looking for a DIY ladder build to assist with loading kayaks on top my truck camper. This project will speed things up considerably and I likely will avoid some mistakes after seeing how you did yours. Thank you for posting. I will likely go with 1" sides to my ladder with 3/4" rungs because it will be fairly tall and straight.
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!!
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!
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.
@@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.
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!!!!
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).
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
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
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)
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!
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 RUclips. 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!
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!
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.
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.
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!
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.
@@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
@@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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
@@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.
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.
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.
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.
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

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

Awesome. For version 3, hopefully you already have a tube bending tool as it is a time saver compared to welding.
Wow that is impressive and inspiring. I’m going to try to make one too. Thanks
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 tutorial… I now have a project for tomorrow, lol
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

It would be nice to make some of these accessories for the mercedes w163 ml320
I’ve been waiting so long for this! Thanks!!!
Haha, Get to it, man! Glad I could help!
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 will not damage or bend the door base of the ladder if you climb? What is the capacity load for it?
That turned out great!
Thank you!
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!
Can I use flex weld for this project
Nice work and thank you for sharing. Wondering if Gobi has contacted you already. I am pretty sure they have patent their design...😂

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.
Excellent job 👍
Thank you!
Well done great ideas thanks
Hell yea! Badass build!
Ive never seen ONE person climb their $400 Gobi...they always have a collapsible ladder. Build is always better than bought.
Nice to see you making this stuff yourself. I would caution the use of anything Gobi like. They have proven a litigious group.
i like your license plate! :)
Haha thanks! I know I got an least one additional subscriber for that effort!
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
It would cool to have made one of the bars fat and flat, so you could mount a rotopax to it.
Would this work for a RAV4 2021?
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
