Truck (tool) Box Mounted Rod Holder
Anyone using this type, rather than a bumper mount. Have not had an opportunity to see one first hand. Would like to carry six to eight rods to the Cape this September and need to start researching. Not sure if I could get eight across because of narrow bed of '04 Tacoma. Thanks. Part II.

Re: Truck (tool) Box Mounted Rod Holder
Yes Don, but I would like it to mount to the rear facing vertical surface of a diamond plate tool box. I can photo digitally, but cannot post here. I can e-mail a photo of the box, and some measurements.
I was envisioning one aluminum pipe running the length of the box, bent 90* at each end, with a (T-Top style base) to run three through-bolts into the box. And then rocket launchers welded to that single, or double, tubing. I guess similar to the whaletail portion of a leaning post. Haven't been able to see one yet, just what I imagined it would look like. Eight rods would be tits! Would need some type of neoprene spacers/washers to mount to diamond plate. Most of the year I think it will be a space killer, and will always be subject to sliding coolers. Arriving Mon/Ocn Counties September 12th chasing Stripers, then up to the Cape. Thanks. Mike.

Re: Truck (tool) Box Mounted Rod Holder
A buddy of mine has what you are talking about on his silverado. He has two rows of holders totaling 15. It connects to two brackets on his toolbox with pins. He had a T-top/leaning post/etc builder build it for him. I think the total cost was around 200. The only thing I dont like about it is, with the tool box it takes up alot of bed space.

Re: Truck (tool) Box Mounted Rod Holder
Yeah George, that's what I was afraid of. I'm liking the idea of pins to pull and remove for space, but I guess that will make another whole theft problem. Does he use safety cable to tie the reel necks to the rocket launcher, just to keep the honest people honest? Or you just can't let the rig out of site? Maybe it's time to try truck accessory places on line, or Bass Pro. Just looking for ideas. Thanks. Mike.

Re: Truck (tool) Box Mounted Rod Holder
Yea, he only has the rods in the holders when he is with the truck. Having somne sort of lock would be nice though.
