I used to have a Toyota Camry wagon, the ultimate in relibility and practicalness. I had made a plywood rack for actions which measured in length the distance from the back of the front passenger seat to the stradle the back seat (and then some). I cut 2 holes which fitted snuggly in the front seat head rest holes. The head rest was then put back in their respective place which helped anchor the rack in one position. The back of the rack had destination dowels which went into the back seat head rest holder. Obviously when hauling actions I removed the back head rest. At any rate this was a real breeze to slide the actions in and out from the back of the car. Ended up getting rid of the car when it hit 248,000 miles. Unfortunately Toyota stop making Camry wagons. Now it's a Ford Explorer with a (even) neater modified back area for tools and action. By the way this post is of great interest to me as I'm always curious as to how many of you have solved the tool storage and accessibility dilemna. I'm temped to take a picture of the back of my Explorer as an example of one way which is extremely practical and friendly. Tom Servinsky,RPT >
