Message: [QUOTE="ScottS, post: 888092, member: 16996"] I put a false floor in my trailer , I think 7/8 , and mounted the wheel chocks and d rings in that . That way I did not have to drill holes in my new trailer. I routered pockets for all teh hardware and bolted everything to the plywood before I screwed it down. I used wood screws to hold the new floor down. You don't need as many screws as you think. I use chains and carabiners in the footpegs, no stands. Just tip the bike to one side , hook the footpeg, and tip it the other way and hook it. It pulls both rear and front suspension down, and it is very rigid. I also set up the floor rings to have the chains pull the bike forward into the chock. I only have to compress my suspenison a few inches and it is rock solid . When I am not hauling bikes the wheel chocks come out and I have a flush floor. To secure the toolbox I would get several heavy duty hinges with removable pins. Bolt one part of the hinge to the floor and another to the box. When you put the box in place just line up the hinges and put the pin through with a retaining clip. When you want take it out just pull the pins. If you use my false floor idea you could router pockets for the wheels so it would always end up in the right place. If you are worried about it tipping , you could add a 3rd hinge at the top, attached to the wall. [/QUOTE]
