what kind of truck do you have?

most trucks have tie-down points in the corners half way down from the top of the bed. should work...

if your tire is gonna sit on the tail gate... I'd recommend finding the support and putting your rear tire on it... OR putting a large piece of plywood to spread out the weight. many new tacoma owners had trouble with the inner welds breaking due to the extra weight in one spot on the tail gate. Toyota has addressed the issue... but an extra couple bucks for the plywood can save a lot of hassle.

'94 Chevy Silverado stepside. It has stake pockets, but I can't remember seeing any tie downs where you're talking. And the stepside has fiberglass outer fenders on the bed. I'll have to get creative.

I'd be really suprised if there's no tie down... but then again it is a chevy :lol:

You guys can't see from that pic, but my bike is about 2" too long for the tailgate to shut. So I took a ratchet strap and hooked to each side of the tailgate and ran it through the swingarm. It held the tailgate up so that My stuff wouldn't slide out the back.

I don't have anything in the bed floor.

Put that bitch in at an angle and spend $20 at Lowes for some eyebolts, washers, and nuts... If you have a decent drill with decent bits, you could have that bitch knocked out in a half hour.

Canyon dancer on the bars to the tie down loops on the bed sides in the front
straps around the swingarm to the tie down loops on the bed sides in the rear
close tailgate and she's all tidy. :dthumb:
