    Yea i agree, it’s not bad. Just an emphasis on the clean/oil, Why I kinda just said maintenance. It doesnt destroy them per say, but certainly can affect the reels/bearing/grip if exposed long term.

    Take the reel off and carry it in the cab. I put my rods that dont break down in sleeves inside of a PVC tub with end caps in the bed of the truck.

    Through the back window? Sounds like a good idea for making a short rod out of it the first time you forget it’s there and close the window.

    LS1 swap with nitros.
    Why not just buy a 10’ long piece of pvc pipe and affix it under your truck? I am sure there is somewhere you can run it from the rear where it won’t get damaged by exhaust piping, driveline, etc. it could be long, out of sight, and secure. Access from below the rear bumper.

    Yeah look up you tubes of people that make rod carriers from conduit carrier kits. Reese makes the best one. Just buy the kit from Amazon for like $50, and a Length ( to your rod spec) of 6in schedule 49 pvc. I also put some Foam in the ends to protect the rod tip and reels. Also highly recommend throwing a bead of silicon in the seam.

    If anyone wants more detailed pics and plans let me know. I’m in the middle of moving (7th level of hell) but I’m passionate About people not spending $600 on the commercially available rod carriers.
