We have a couple of side by side buggies that I drive around all the time. Recently I found a rifle rack that fits the buggies perfectly (it was actually designed for that purpose) and it was free. The rifles lay horizontal on the back of the cab.
The only thing wrong with anything is the old padding on the J hooks where the rifles sit has deteriorated a lot. I've already taken the hooks off and stripped the old stuff off of them. Now I just need to replace the padding with something better.
Here are my criteria. Hopefully I can find something that checks all the boxes. It needs to be outdoor worthy. The more rugged the better. Hopefully nothing too porous or with too much texture. I have found that with certain materials they hold on to sand or grit pretty good. Throw in the normal vibration and movement of everything involved and it becomes like sand paper. I wore the finish completely off of a suppressor and part of an AR lower by sitting it on the seat one time and I don't want to repeat that again.
If you have any suggestions please provide links if possible, but if not please tell me the actual name of the products you recommend.
I do have the option to put a wrap around parts of the rifle(s) that would make contact (for extra insurance) but I still need to replace the padding. Thanks in advance for your help.
