Yep,
I have the same set up in my truck camper shell. That's where I got the idea from and I think Sandflea has the same set-up if I'm not mistaken, and it works great. Photo's are in my picture gallery.

And these racks will hold broken down heavers? Sounds like something nice.

Neil your in Real Estate arent you? Funny to think of you showing houses with all your heavers with client sin the car. Might be a good selling tool :D

Take a look at coldtuna.com. When I had my jeep a got a a setup from them on ebay and mounted it on 1x4 that hooked into the plastic trim. They have setups made specifically for vehicles for $39.

Hey Neil!

I use the rod straps made by Rod Saver.
I purchased them for 19.99 at Outdoorworld. Very simple to install.

Hey Neil,
I built one just like this for mine.
Works very well, and not not alot of $.

P.S. When I built one for the Blazer, I added a block of oak under the front section to raise it up a little. Keeps the tips from constantly tapping me on the head.

Take a look at the pics I posted here. http://pierandsurf.com/photopost/showphoto.php/photo/2804/cat/500/ppuser/10317

It's as simple as Berkely Twist-locks, a few oak slats, and ring pins. Total cost is under 20 bucks. You just have to make sure you measure well before you cut the boards down.
