[QUOTE="M3 WRATH, post: 180169, member: 968"] Every bike I have is too long to keep both wheels mounted and have it sit straight in the bed (too slack of a head angle I guess) so I decided to get a front axle mount from Rocky Mounts. It is lockable so it does give some level of security. I had a local fabricator (the line-x guy actually) make a steel bar that goes from one side of the bed to the other and I bolted it into the existing tie down holes (so completely removable without leaving any trace behind). I then had the tie downs attached to the steel bar so I could still use them when necessary. I attached two Rocky Mount HD mounts to the steel bar (one to each side of my spare tire so I can haul two bikes) and had the whole thing coated with line-x (pretty convenient since he was also the fabricator!). It cost me $100 for the fabrication, $100 for line-x, and $79 per mount. I know its not as cheap as some hitch mount bike racks but it's secure, unobtrusive, and looks pretty clean and custom (in my opinion). I just wanted to show that you have some options and hopefully this will give you some ideas for your dream bike rack. My front tire fits really well in the space between the bar and the front of the bed. My spare tire keeps it from rolling back and forth, but you could easily have a small piece welded on to the steel bar to keep the tire in place. [/QUOTE]
