I have two on my boat, and one for the car.

That is a sweet looking rack!! (No, this is not a pickup line
) I thought about one of those with the pool noodles but wasn't sure about their durability. I do like their compactness though! I build one last summer with some scrap lumber and some webbing. As shown in the picture. Its 15.5" x 15' x 3.5". I put some rubber on it to keep the tanks from sliding around, but that was before I put the tank protectors on the tank. The second post shows it with the tanks....as you can see its barely bigger than the tanks but is very stable with 1 or 2 tanks on it.

The noodles still look almost new after one and two years respectively, but they probably wouldn't last a year in the back of a pickup.

When using the noodle version of the tank rack in the back of my truck will the noodles still slide around with four tanks in the rack, or is there enough weight on it to keep it from sliding around, because that is the main thing I am trying to avoid.
What about buying a 2 X 10 and cutting triangular notches in it, standing the tanks up against the cab, and bolting the 2 X 10 to the bed of the truck?

I *think* they will stay put. The noodles on my boat lay on the bunk in the bow. They are subjected to some serious 6-degrees-of-freedom action when the seas are high.
Do you ever throw tanks into your car trunk?

I never throw my tanks anywhere, scene from jaws keeps me from doing that.
