Bike mount in bed under tonneau cover using cargo divider

Thought I'd share a way to transport bikes in the bed that I haven't seen posted yet.

I wanted to use a fork mount in the bed of my truck while still being able to keep the trifold tonneau cover installed. I had the Toyota cargo bed divider laying around so I used it as a bed rail for the fork mount:



Carriage bolts slide nicely in the rails on the cargo divider and the tonneau can be folded back in place when a bike isn't being transported. Pictured is the RockyMounts Hot Rod and I'm sure most other fork mounts would work well.

See you on the trails.

 

Is this the OEM divider ?

 

Nice. Must be nice not to need galvanized bolts where you live.

 

Yes it is, I finally found a use for it.

They are stainless bolts and I'll be keeping an eye on them to see if I need to switch to galvanized instead.

 

Nice. Couldn’t tell from the pic difference between bright or stainless. That’s the way to go.
