Default Custom rod rack for the bed

I'm starting to build these to order now. You have your choice of how ever many number of rod holders, up to 11, to choose from. They simply mount using 2 large bolts, one on each side, through the predrilled holes in the bed, giving a low-profile, factory look. After a lot of experimenting, I've found great success with a rubberized spray on undercoating. It looks just like Line-X Extra when applied and is extremely durable. I build them in my shop, which is not a weekend warrior shop per say, but where I build custom furniture part-time. I have everything from planers and tablesaws to a lathe and router table. I only use top notch stainless steel marine grade hardware and lag bolts in the construction. Each rod holder is bolted with 3 bolts. To describe the sturdiness, I can literally jump on mine in the bed and I'm 170lbs. I carry up to 11 130 class rods and reels each weighing in at around 20lbs. Price is $350+shipping. Shipping from Mass to Raleigh, NC, for instance, is only $36. I'm building one starting in a few days to get started. If anyone is interested in it, PM me.

Fits 2004-Present F150s









Now with rubberized undercoating

relocated to "parts sales" since this is basically selling this as a part


nice looking design if I fished more than twice a year, I'd consider one

I would love one of these for my 96, I do a lot of fishing seeing as I live in South Florida I go to the keys a lot and fish. That would be perfect for all my rods instead of getting em all tangled up in the bed.

Wouldn't this be more of a vendor posting? He is taking orders not selling a single item.

Really? Is it bothering you? I think I've given enough to this forum to be able to post this.

Not bothering me. Just figured that if it got moved, it should get moved to the correct forum area.

So how if that fair to the vendors that follow the rules? I bet they would like to save that $270/year.
