$5 rod holder solution, no drilling

[Noel Willhite]

#10 screw gets a rod holder snug into the available threaded holes on each side near the tailgate..
I can only get one bolt in where the holder wants two but it’s pretty snug with one , and i keep a 6” bungee near the rear tie down just in case
Gets me 2 rod holders for $5 a piece
Maybe I’ll paint them, maybe i won’t
It works for now, enough for me to move on to another project LOL
I’m hoping i can keep this set up when i install the pivot cases (NEXT!) which will be a tackle box on one side and a roadside kit in the other

It’s simple and it works good job

I like that idea too!! But I want to fly some 2'x3' or 3'x5' flags. I will probably make a holder for the pole and use all 3 bolt holes. Hadn't thought about doing it there until I seen your idea.

Looks like i can still mount pivot cases on either side too and just use the screw to mount the rod holders into the bracket that holds the cases in place which is pretty cool
Just ordered some quick fist clamps to rig up similar to a resent thread i read

I have used pvc for rod holders in my boat. I dont see the need for rod holders in the back of a pickup.

Yup, my surf rods even when broken down are longer than my 6' bed.

2 more into the bulkhead, May end up moving these around but i love the limitless options with the rigged panel install
