[roncoinc]

thanks. i never worry about load shift affecting the windows. i don't like piling the wood in up against the saws anyway, and i have an 8' bed, so i can still get a pretty good load.

My good load is when the rubber bumpers touch the axle..
often resulting in the wood as high as the top of the window.,have plywood over one now
i couldnt have the bars in the same area as the wood,thus the thot of building what you did backwards..
that saw in the middle,,NICE

I like your setup pyro.

I'm going to do three things:

1) Have a commercial toolbox that I can lock up saws even if its just powerheads. Part of the time when that toolbav is in for certain work.

2) Build a wodden box that has a top that is mirror image and hinges open - this to protect the saws for some non firewood jobs and also be available to hold two more saws if needed - even though all four saws would be open to the world.

3) Do the pyro holders.

here is my setup, works pretty slick, holds 5 saws plus your gas and oil or whatever, and just uses a cable and lock system for security

This isn't exactly "IN" the bed but close.

This is the handiest way I've ever had for cutting and hauling.
Saws go in the one box. Straps and chains in another. Other side fits a shovel and axe, etc. And then of course tools for work etc in the rest.

Good AIM

That is slick. Real nice where with heavy loads you don't usually put any wood there anyway. Also you always have axcess to saw(s) and the rest of your gear.

One could do that where the box locks to the tailgate, (my rig is a 2002 Dodge 3/4 ton Diesel - proud but not offended by holes or dents in the bed), when security is needed.

I've got a nephew that can aluminum weld. Custom box, bolts to the bed ............
Hmmmmmmm.

Two things I hadn't seen that have merit.

Thanks AS

Here are two of my saws mounted to the top of my headache rack.

i actually have a piece of plywood that i use in front of the bars when loading the back with wood. the first time i loaded, i didn't like it when the wood leaned the bars back.

and yeah, the makita is my favorite...

Either side of the tray, tucked in the inside of the sides I have angle iron bolted down with holes every foot so I can attach tie downs to secure loads.
This tool box is secured by these points and doesn't move.
This tool box is large enough to hold the 385 and 395.

Nice GU mate.

I'm driving the missus GU ute ATM for work while my Defender is off the road.
She's ticked off and wants it back

Yep, we're a family of utes here, but it's a bit like having a split Dolmar/Husky household with me having a Landy and she a Patrol, the barbs fly thick and fast.

saw's in the pick-up

It depends on whether I am cutting on private or public land on how I keep my saws. Most the time I like to use a jobox bolted to my crossover toolbox, I can fit two saws with with 36'' bars in it, my 066 w/a 36 is as long as will fit in there any longer than that and it sits in the bed, also room for a wood box full of wedges, spare chains, and misc parts, as well as a few extra bars lay in their nicely I took a piece of horse trailer rubber mat and laid in the bottom of the box to keep things from slipping, and avoid too much metal to metal contact, around here if things aren't bolted down they end up in the very front or back of the truck, also I had a saw stolen once so I bolted the two boxes together that way the fasteners can't be accessed without keys, on the same job someone stole the axe, shovel, and then chiseled through the welded bracket to get the mount off of a skidder. I also put an axe and shovel mount on the back of the box, as well as mounted my 5lb extinguisher to it, then the brackets I made to attach the boxes doubles as a holder for my highlift jack. That setup works well for me, and when I need more room in the bed, or sometimes depending on how far the job is swap to a different truck I just undo the bolts and slide the whole box out the back.
