Question for the fab guys on this site

And how wide are your front tires, in inches please

 

I only have 1 bike but I transport to and from the track quite often. I have my tailgate down as is and I use a ready ramp as both ramp and bed extender. I can get you some ball park numbers on the bar width and front wheel, but nothing exact since I transport different bikes.

 

What about some of these?




Here is the 6 foot long one.

A lot of race car trailers have rails like these mounted in the wooden floor. Don't see why you can't mount them in the bed. There's a whole industry of tire straps and ratcheting straps for these rails.

 

I am really liking the look of this one. They look like they might fit in the ridges in the bed?

And from this they look strong.

This test simply showed the tracks withstood 1 g... which is less than what the truck can generate when braking.

 

Looks like you did not think much before you typed? You didn't prove anything.

 

You did

You're a dick

 

Yea, we have those in our track trailer. Great product but not quite what I am looking for. I would like to only replace the front rail and have both a chock and tie down points. I don't know how well that would work with these rails.

I just finished installing a steel reinforcement plate for the tailgate. Time for a new project so I'm going to actually get some ideas going on this. Good ideas to work with from everyone, its much appreciated.
