Suggestions for securing RockyMounts to truck bed without drilling?

I put some fork mounts on an oak 1 x 6. A little strip of conveyor belt on each end holds it in place snugly.

 

I did this exact same thing with my old ‘90 Toyota pickup. I even rotated them slightly so I could get three in a row. I had a hard topper, so it was a tight squeeze.

Dang I miss that pickup.

 

Yes, I have that cubby, and also a larger one on the other side. Thank you.

 

That is a nice setup. How do you secure the piece of oak to the bed, to stop a thief from walking off with the piece of oak with bike attached?

 

I lock my snugtop hi-liner.

 

Cable lock through the frame to the factory tie down point by the tailgate?

 

That's what I did before I got a topper; works well.

 

Smart and easy. He’s got a soft topper so I can see why security is an issue. Just put a leer cap on last month. Soooooo happy with it

 

What was your idea using the mounting point by the cubby hole about?

 

You could do what I sketched out but use that hole and the matching one across from it on the other side of the bed. Instead of those tie down points you don’t have.
