Et Tu, Brute?...Part Deux

As you can tell, I was not able to fit the full sized fly rod holder and still get my truck into my garage...so I removed half of the tube length in order to fit them on the side. I am still able to fully rig up with leader, tippet and fly, then break the rods down in half...even my 10' rods still fit... R9.JPG

That is the best rod tube set up I’ve ever seen. So much nicer at half length. (Not what she said)

The full length tubes were two part with a clamp in the middle...I just needed to drill out the aluminum rivets on the end cap, remove the middle clamp, and put the end cap back on.

The other benefit of putting the rod rack on it's side is the rods don't ride on the guides...which could be an issue if you drive like Eddie on dirt roads...

7863FE66-0E1F-482E-B22E-C9C8892FF082.jpeg I was hoping all of my awning extensions & bug room from my Xventure trailer would fit my new awning, since they changed the name of the model...they do. Next, I need to drag out the trailer, empty it, take a bunch of pics and put it up for sale...

Ah makes sense now with the tire. Thought that was a deck there. Couldn’t tell since I’m not a deck expect.

Was this tent on your trailer? I can’t remember what you had on top of the Xventure

looks great, like the low profile RTT.

The fly rod holder is larger than I thought it would be, was also expecting some sort of padding to keep things from bouncing around (so many jokes there, I had to laugh while typing it out)

nice touch the the spare tire drop
