Here is a photo of our bike rack we made and painted-- thought it may give some people ideas if they are shopping around for one. They are pretty easy to make for truck beds.

Thats a great idea! I think i will do the same for my truck this week! I dont want to drill into the bed, or leave the fork mounts in there full time, as i do haul quite a bit of stuff, and that would just get in the way.

Thanks for the link and idea XTA! :)

We built it so it fits snuggly in there but it doesn't secure to the bed in any way. I've taken it all over and never had a problem...it's very steady/sturdy thus far. I had my doubts at first because I thought it should be secured but my husband thought it would work fine...so I have to admit he was right! And it is light weight for easy movement back and forth to the garage. I had to customize it of course! Paint it up and make it fun! :D
