Let's see your frugal DIY mods!

Shit. Would hate to have to buy a three rod one just to cut the hell out of it

 

Maybe a 2 rod holder

 

Its plastic isn't it?

 

Yup

 

I like metal.

 

I don't think they make metal rod holders. There pretty fucking sturdy

 

Keep it as three. For fishing rods.

Why don't you just use PVC?

 

They're*

Thanks for the help. I'll figure it out.

I have to decide whether i want to try to find a toyota flag that isn't shitty, or just fly either an American flag or a Gadsden flag.

 

I do not fish.

Because me gusta metal. Don't want anything sticking up past the bed rail either. I like stealthy, fit everything under the tonneau, type shit

 

Then you can use a bed cleat for the rotational advantage.

 

Lol, i just told Matt i'm not modifying my bed cleats to make a flag pole fit through it.

I'll figure it out another day

 

I didn't say to modify it. You could use another metal bracket with a wing nut on the back (by the bedwall) and just loosen the wing nut to lower it when you want to close your tonneau

I don't see your point.

 

Thats what i'm going to try. I'll copy my bed rail brackets and then make or buy a flag pole holder to bolt to them

 

Still need to use my wingnut idea.

 

They may vibrate loose tho

 

I've done a bunch of cheap mods to the bed area of my truck using quick-fist clamps and kayak paddle holders.

Holders for my roof racks (I think you can also see the rings I have mounted to the roof for holding my kids hockey sticks.



Pump for airbags & retriever pole


Windshield Washer Fluid & Trailer Hitch Holder

 

Cool trailer hitch idea. Is the washer fluid for when offroad and using liberally?

 

Thanks! I don't off-road much, but I always seem to run out of it at the worst times & I only use the Rain-X stuff. Not all gas stations stock it around here. Without a warning light I'd rather have it on hand.

Trailer hitch idea was kindof a last-minute throw together idea. Keeps it out of the way & lets me use the pin-key to keep it in place so I don't lose them too. Can't use the bins because the drop is too big & the bins have holes & get filled with salt water from winter road treatment.
