Re: Truck bed rod rack....

I think the best is still putting a piece of aluminum angle on the bed edge.
then bolting trex to it.
then installing plastic flush mount rod holders .
can put 2 or three staggered rows depending on how many rods you want to carry

simaler to this

Definitely the concept I'm looking to copy. Although I need it dropped below the bed rails so cover will fit.

They are OK, but I would never purchase them again.
spacing sucks due to them using a universal cargo bar.
I put them in opposite so I could use the spacing all the way across the truck.
you need t just about bend the truck bed liner to get them tight enough to hold the rods without slipping

Dan,

Do you have the "Inshore" version or the heavier "Offshore"?

Duff you have the same bedliner I had in my ram, if you look at the pic you posted under the bracket there is a space in the bedliner for a 2x6 to run from one side to the other. I had 8 pvc holders mounted to that and it worked perfect. Those slots in the bedliner are ideal for home made rod racks. Sorry no pics I sold the truck and gave it away!!

Def a great idea. Mounting them to a board in the bed slots would double as a cargo organizer.

Re: Truck bed rod rack....

I made my rod holder from PVC. I angled the rod holders at a 45 degree angle for storage access, clearance and to clear my Fold-A-Cover. I can fit 11 rods in the bed of my Chevy Colorado. The only thing I would do different is to use a standard T in lieu of septic T's, the sweep of the septic T causes different sized rod butts to sit at differing angles.
