    This looks useful for any full-sized pickup owner. Stuff always migrates out of reach.

    The most powerful minds are the ones that can be changed.

    Yeah, looking at some of these photos I can imagine what happens when there is a wreck. Next time you see Jill, ask her about their experience. Hundreds of pounds of cylinders flying every-which-way.

    I've been told that in some states it's illegal to transport high pressure cylinders (over 1800psi) that aren't latched down.

    For the guys laying the tanks down in their Pick-up beds, how are you securing them?

    a couple of 2X4s going the width of the bed, with cross members to keep the tanks from rolling. Eye screws with bungees so they don't bounce on rough roads. I don't have a picture since I don't have the truck anymore.

    Why bother securing them? The gentle clanking sounds made by the tanks rolling around reminds me of a cross between wind chimes and demolition derby. Very soothing.
