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.
Mods, if you want to move this go ahead, I figured since it's for the 2004+ trucks I'd just put it here.
With the rubberized coating now
