I built it out of a sheet of 16ga steel i bought at lowes for 9 dollars, some rubber gromets, and a few rivnuts. The rear is attached with rivnuts in the roof and under the alpine windows. It's very stout and can easily handle a 25lb wieght that i hung from it. the front is attatched on the oh shit handle and the poles are secured with an elastic loop. I haven't done it yet, but I'm going to dip the portion of the holder that touches the rod in a form of rubber used to refinish tool handles. Just a light coat should work. I may add another one up front for longer poles, we'll see.
