Bicycle Carriers on the rail system

Any good ways to secure bicycles to the rail besides the $138.75 toyota part? I have a 09 Tacoma. I am sure someone has a great way of doing it.

I have 2 of these. Works great.

 

I bought 2 toyota tie down clamps off ebay and I am going to make them into a set of bike carriers. got an easy idea just need to get some parts, Keep in touch and I'll let you know how they turn out...

 

i was going to buy the 10 dollar fork mounts off ebay and make my own.

 

Here ya go, I made my own and it works great. I used one of the rail mounts that came with the truck and then made/bought the rest. The whole project cost me less than $20.00.

Thats what I did ^^^^
