I am interested in building a rack for my Tundra pickup bed that will secure 2 Rans tandems. With the tailgate down I have about 8 feet to work with. Anyone out there done it or have ideas?

Pick up trucks are quite versitile. I like this method of transport, which also
works well with full size Vans. Mount quick release mounts to 2 X 4's.
Pics below of one that I've used for DF Tandems, LWB Recumbents and
DF road bikes and Mtn. Bikes. Cost me less than $20, but I had the
lumber already laying around the house.
