Two Motorcycles in the Bed

I haven't driven with both 600's in my bed. But I've never had a problem hauling one 600 in the bed.



Edit: Does it change anything that I have the TRD Sport?

 

I have a few of these left before I do another run.... $175 + $35 S&H.

I bought some soft loops, four extra d-rings, and some more straps. I'm going to run two straps to the front of each bike, one over both seats, and one over/through the rear wheels.

As I was saying earlier, I didn't have much money to buy too much extra stuff for the truck. But I'm concerned about the ride with both bikes in the bed. I have the TRD Sport DCLB and tow package.

 

I don't transport bikes without a wheel chock. More specifically the Baxley Wheeel Chocks (hands-down the best) and made in the usa... never dropped a bike in the garage or on the back of a my taco. Makes it easy to lock the bike when you ride it up and then use a canyon dancer with tie-downs. Doesnt require tie-down for the back for short trips but recommend them if hauling a long-distance.

I never hauled 2 nice bikes in my Tacomas. But I would assume you could do what the military does when they chopper lift 2 humvees, that is put a few rags in between them.

 

I have one Baxley sport chock. But not two. I'm using the Baxley for my bike in the bed. And I'm just strapping my buddy's bike down as is. It seems to gold up fairly well so far. I have 8 straps total. Two straps up front on each bike. One strap over both seats. Then straps for the rear wheels. I think that should be plenty to hold everything in place.

 

I made this for my dirt bikes. Just some angle iron that I mounted under the stock bed rails. I got some flat bar to mount on the back to add rigidity to the plastic bed. Was cheap to make, $30-$40. Most expensive part was the part where i decided to get it powder coated...



Did a write up with dimensions here if you are interested

 

Nice. Cool to see people making their own custom accessories.

maybe it just the angle of the photo, but seems like those (a least one) bikes should be back a foot or two (just my opinion)

 

Just an update. The bikes made the trip! The track day went perfect, except for the hot Alabama weather!



Added three d rings in the bed



Everything loaded up and ready to go



And a couple of action shots



Couldn't be happier with the truck and the bikes. Thanks for all the ideas and help guys!
