Alright so, I'm trying to come up with some solutions for my fishing poles here as they are longer than the length of the bed, 2020 XLT Supercrew. Some details:
I already have a Bakflip G2 installed since June when I bought the truck. I am by no means attached to keeping it if I can find a better solution for transporting my poles. However I commute from CNJ to the Adirondacks where my families lake house is located and needed the hardcover for security purposes. My father had his entire toolset stolen at a rest stop - no cover at all on his f150 a few years back...
The main issue if I mod the G2 and say, screw a rack system into the aluminum panels is that the tips of my rods will overhang the tailgate at basically deck height- in my opinion they will be dangerously close to the 13ft boat I tow to go bass fishing.
Does anyone have any better ideas?? Not opposed to doing some modifying, but I think I'd like to get this box from Yakima. Does that limit me to basically their bed cover/bed rack options? Anyone have pics of how they are transporting their gear currently?
Any thoughts/ideas are greatly appreciated. Thanks!
