I cut the windy handles off and welded nuts to the shafts so you can use a 19mm on a drill to wind the legs up and down quicker.. 👌

[@ewanlockhart3943]

My dad did this. He build a custom trailer and a custom jack system like that so that he could use the trailer normally and then have a canopy type thing with all the necessary camping stuff. Sick vid 👍🏼

[@cmorahan]

quick hack for lift-off. Air bags in the rear suspension. Pump up the bags, wind legs to ground level, then drop the air out of the bags. you should now be able to drive straight out from under. do the same in reverse to get the canopy back on.

[@martinashlin]

i'm looking at making a canopy to fit my box trailer that can be easily removed, this has given me some great ideas. and saved me a bit of time learning from your mistakes lol cheers Sam keep up the good work

[@rhyss8580]

This is awesome. Me and Dad are looking into building a similar setup. We have a pop up trailer tent so we are building a aluminium box that fits in the trailer with the tent on top of it. So we can leave all the camping stuff in it and have a box trailer and camper trailer in one.

[@harrytaske566]

You should put a half canopy so it’s not so top heavy and put you spare tyres on the back of the canopy. Keep up the good work love it.

[@MADBONE0]

Yeah I'm getting sea sick watching these but the content is good ..

[@LVNITUPM8]

The only thing I can suggest is maybe put some pins in where the legs slide in to the canopy so that stops anyone accidnetly pulling one leg out and tipping the canopy over. Only say so because my mate had same thing happen to him and it didn't take much someone walked past and hit the leg and the leg came out and over the canopy went

[@steeleheraud3496]

Love your work. My parent in-laws have a similar setup. Nowhere near as robust! It was never going to fall over. The inner steel would have to be able completely twist inside the other tube for that to happen, even less chance with the double pronged setup you have. It has more chance of tipping over and those cross braces won’t stop that!

[@themechanizedswaggie5472]

Great segment ! Also the canopy can not fall over unless your welding is non-existent! Your channel has good info keep it up!

[@rooster8039]

That's rad...👍😎...See you in Sydney...Is that the right times...5pm till 8pm...3 hours isn't enough...All-day would be good...👌...

[@davidweber2504]

Sam, someone else asked you where you purchased the Trojan drop-down adjustable legs and I can’t see where you answered. I can only find electric ones online. Cheers.

[@kweenslandspearo1981]

I reckon you should weld a chain link on the forward and rear faces so you can put a ratchet strap across the front and rear stopping the arms coming out of the sleaves for extended periods of the canopy being off the truck. A 15min job that could save you so much time and money should the "impossible" becoming a cluster fuck. Also that would make it good to set up camp and leave it set up while you go off and hit the tracks during the day

[@roberttetlow4126]

Your a bloody legend. I did the same to my trucks 8m mulch bin

[@toddmillar4041]

I'm guessing those jacks can also double as a leveling device for a comfortable sleep in the roof top tent

[@JS-tb9hu]

He has air bags in the rear springs to help with that

[@PFSred]

Hey Sam where did you get the legs from. I’m currently waiting for my tray and canopy to be finished and need to buy some legs

[@jackmccoy5320]

Did you end up finding out where to get them legs from?

[@PFSred]

@@jackmccoy5320 na I ended up getting a set second hand

[@chrishiggins1811]

Great upgrade mate always look forward to these

[@throughjackscamera4432]

Those cross bracing work on uneven terrain? Just think about it... Awesome tray and canopy tho...cheers

[@Apansyy]

I was thinking the same. He should go with some wire and a turn buckle.

[@lukeb5855]

did you off set those bits of tube so you can open open the doors while the jacks are in there?

[@mickleszyk6635]

Legend! Convinced me to get mine finally

[@kaivankool]

nothing is more aussie than wearing thongs while using the circular saw haha

[@cameronbowen2687]

SuperFishie so true

[@droctagon3k]

think you'll find he's wearing Australian safety boots

[@muntee33]

This isn't considered nearly enough in Oz

[@ToyotaWorldRunners]

Hey Sam, any idea how heavy your tray and canopy are? or just the canopy on its own? Cheers from Canada man, sick build!

[@jrh928]

you can weld through that primer u dont need to grind it...

[@chrissd08]

Did I miss the video you actually applied the skin to the canopy frame and doors?

[@raulmillan2930]

New subscriber. Great watching this. I gotta learn how to weld.!

[@stiaanpistorius2373]

Good day Sam... When will we see your camping setup ?

[@chrissd08]

I missed how the canopy is held to the tray. Is there a ‘C’ shaped connection between the lower jack point and a hole in the tray?

[@jakejoyce9462]

Hey legend love your work! I was wondering how you mounted/fixed your canopy to your tray so it’s convenient to lift off! Looks like you didn’t bolt it down??

[@mini696]

Oil also stops your weld penetrating. Think about it, it stops the splatter sticking, it will stop your weld sticking.

[@drewhawes1991]

Hey mate trying to do a custom job on my canopy what size of square tubing did you use for the inserts so the jacks can slide in?

[@psy06]

see you in sydney mate

[@adamdimo1954]

At least you had your safety boots on

[@richardburgers8965]

where can I purchase the wind-up stabilizing legs?

[@joshhill4861]

[@PerthSnaps]

Adam Reed again? Did you make his music for him?

[@livin4x4]

Hey mate, it is the song that I use for my intro however it is from a website called epidemic sound that we must both pay to use, this means anyone can use that song as it is not trademarked Hope this clears it up 😊

[@stuartbull8362]

Ahhh righto, is it a one off payment or do you have to pay when you make a new video?
