Ranger 48 Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 Due to the interest they seem to generate, I thought I'd share my rod racks with you all, and hopefully give you some ideas of ya own.I get very paranoid about my graphite rods, especially while travelling, so I decided to have some racks made up to store them up out of the way in the vehicle, above my head where they are all safe and sound and out of harms way.I used all the original mounting points in the vehicle, so I didn't have to drill any holes in it.They aint quite finished, as you can see the rear one still needs to be powdercoated, but they were cheap, easy and effective.

Guest AC Hardfronts Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 Dont leave your rods in the car then.. This is a very good way to store rods up and out of the way and will be used as soon as i purchase my 4x4.. very simple and effective. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

statesquider 0 Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 That is a fantastic idea for rod storage, love the idea. I'm in the process of working out how to store mine under the tray on my ute, just don't know if they'll cop too much abuse in pvc pipes (Obviously wrapped up and not dumped straight in).Great idea though Quote Link to post Share on other sites
