Abstract: A tool rack system/method configured for operation on a pickup truck is disclosed. The system integrates a diagonal tube stack (DTS), an elongated tube stack (ETS), and a reconfigurable hose rack (RHR). The DTS, ETS, and RHR are configured for placement over the wheel well and tailgate in a pickup truck such that tools inserted within the tool rack are organized and readily available without cluttering the pickup truck bed. The ETS is configured to permit retention of oversized hand tools such as pool cleaning implements without the need for an overhead truck rack. The RHR may be reconfigured to adapt to the overhead retention of long pipe joints as well as hoses such as those used in pool maintenance operations. In both of these reconfigured modes the RHR obviates the need for a conventional truck rack or the use of space within the truck bed for storage.
