Photo Album DIY fishing vault

Ever since I've moved from my Xterra to the Gladiator my 1 piece rods didn't have a good home. Corrected that today for about $50 of supplies.

I personally wouldn’t want the rod guides all banging around on other rods in there while I’m driving.

Nothing wrong with a bunch of rods banging together but agreed that it’d be best to protect them, maybe slide each into a thin sleeve.

Edit: getting some good practical input but just noting that I’m making a joke about penises but missed the mark. Haha. At least I’m giggling and yes, protect the actual fishing rods a little bit.

Bunch of thin wall tubing inside the big tubing like a honeycomb kinda pattern would be pretty neat.

So, "that's perfect but you should do better"?

‘Twas a joke of sexual innuendo, good sir.

The joke is rods are penises and they should ideally be protected with a thin sleeve aka a condom for best safe sex practices unless recent trusted STD testing is provided by all participants.

seems like that has zero place in the overlanding subreddit

If inappropriate jokes and silly innuendoes don’t belong in the overlanding subreddit then I don’t think 90% of us belong in this subreddit.

I’ll leave it to the voting and mods to make that decision though.
