Effective Fishing Rod Roof Holder - (All parts from Wal-Mart and no tools required) - Toyota FJ Cruiser Forum



I think I'm going to copy your guy's front strap and use the hanging clothes bar from mine!

Kinnakeettom, that looks nice! I have the Yakima crossbars connected to the factory rails, with the ski holders, the shorter ones. They hold 4 poles easily, even when there are reels attached when actively fishing.

The nice thing about rods on the roof are that you can lock them up, even though they are exposed. You don't waste room inside your vehicle, and it looks pretty good to boot ;)

I have done this. I have one end glued on the other is thread and I can screw on and off the lid.

i use yakima's fat cat 6 to hold my poles.its pretty common thing to see trucks with um here in Hawaii.

hell, throw em in the back, row your back window down and let them hang out. no complaints from that.

I've done numerous things since I got pulled up for my bullbar mounted rod holder. I can fit two two piece rods between the rear headrests and the cargo barrier. can zip tie them in place if needed. But normally they just go on top of everything else.

Before I had a cargo barrier I would zip tie them (loosely) behind the headrests of the back seat and just leave them there just in case i went past a good spot.

For two piece surf rods (or single piece boat rods) I put them up each side and zip tie them to the grab rails and the top corner of the cargo barrier. they can get slightly in the way but i deal with it. I'll normally take the reels off when doing this.

over easter I managed to fit all my camping gear, esky, recovery gear, spare 33' tyres, 3 people, 2 surf rods and 4 other rods all inside my car.

I do have photos but not on this computer

This is what I did with my Subaru. It will be moving inside.

Cheap and it works wonderful, even when going 75 MPH down the freeway.

Only components missing in the picture are the bungie straps, and metal bar mounts which you can get a home depot for a few cents each.

I came up with a good idea that works for me. I drilled 2 tiny holes in rear left and right plastic panels behind rear windows. Attached a small hook on each side. I ran a string across to both hooks. After fishing I slide rods to the front and support them with a large O ring hanging from rear view mirror and the reel part sits on the string. I can bounce around from stream to stream with no worries of my rods getting crushed.

I guess you all didn't go over your owners manual. T4R built a 2 rod holder in them.

I put together a in-rig system that holds 6x 7ft. rods no problem if I'm the only one in riding around. I biased it so that its more on the passenger side. I had a bunch of pictures from when I was putting it together in '08 but I seem to have lost them. I'll try to get some of how it looks loaded and empty for you.

i wonder if a ski/snow board rack would hold fishing poles securely

Debating on whether or not I should carry rods inside T4R or on top. Dont really trust the rods being in the open on top of my truck, and was thinking about mounting a larger diameter pvc pipe to the roof rack. Has anybody done this?

This is basically what I do as well. No real complaints other than having a sunroof makes it a little more difficult... headliner/sunroof takes away a few of those inches off the top available space near the driver for the longer rods (fly rods/surf rods).

I built my own rack for the inside of my 5th gen.
