DIY Hoist System (Rooftop Tents, Kayaks, Jeep Tops, Ladders, etc.)

Описание: Welcome back to the Gator Overland channel. It's time to get your recreational or household equipment stored up and out of the way. In today's episode I explain how to create your own hoist storage system. I designed my system for 200 lbs, but can be capable of nearly 400 lbs by upgrading a single pulley (as explained in the video). Feel free to contact me via social media or email should you have any questions about your build.
**DISCLAIMER : PLEASE WORK SAFE AND AT YOUR OWN RISK**
**PLEASE EMAIL PHOTOS OF YOUR HOIST FOR VIEWER BUILDS PORTFOLIO**
