Default Plane rack for pickup

I have a unique problem with regards to my truck/working/flying. I am a network consultant and I have to carry quite a bit of tools and materials in my truck, and it can sometimes be a huge pain in the butt to unload to go to the flying field (and yes, I do have a canopy on my truck). I went to wal-mart and got shower curtain rods that screw out to adjust. used no-skid foam draw liners from office depot to wrap the rods with for cushioning. now when I go to the field I put on set of rods at the top of the truck bed walls (bottom of the canopy) and one set above the window in the canopy. screw them out tight and they stay put with no problems. you can adjust the placement of the rods fore/aft to fit the plane of the day. and the great thing for me is that it hauls my planes to the field and I still have all my work tools riding underneath the planes.

works for me.
