Custom Swingaway Rod Rack

We've been selling the StowAway2 Swingaway fishing rod rack for a number of years. Since we debuted the rod rack, we've heard and seen a number of custom rod racks that StowAway2 owners have put together.

However, this one might just take the cake.

StowAway2 owner Steve A. (Pennsylvania) emailed in the following pictures, which show the custom Rod Rack he has set up on his rig.

Steve started by purchasing a Swingaway Frame a la carte. To this frame, he mounted a custom-sized rack for his large fishing cooler, a tail light kit for improved visibility on the road, six custom rod holders and a side-mounted fold-up cutting board.

Pictures are worth 1,000 words so we'll let the pictures do the talking.

Back view:


Great shot of his rod holders, which appear to be cut at variable lengths for a cool visual effect.

Sideview:

Here you can see the fold-up cutting board in the down position. Also, you can see that this rack system rides very close to the back of his vehicle.

Swung Out View:

As you can see, our Swingaway frame pivots back and away from the vehicle without any deflection. Here, the rack has been opened up to the 90 degree position.

Cutting Board View:

This picture shows the cutting board in the up position, perfect for preparing bait.

Truck Bed View:

Here you can see the truck bed access that is granted by our Swingaway frame.

Swung Out Back View:

Again, you can see the nearly total access to the truck bed offered by our swing out steel frame.

Night View:

Lastly, a cool night-vision shot of the tail lights in action.
