Tie Down Mounts on my truck

[QUOTE="jaypro55, post: 387590, member: 24406"] I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, but it seemed most logical to me. I've got a Ford F-150 Flareside truck. It's a short bed, but having the gate down is no problem to me. Right now, we have 4 eye bolts sunk down on the bed. We replaced the original bolts holding the bed to the frame with those and torqued them down nicely. They work great when it's only my bike, but when I tried getting my friends KTM on their with me, it wasn't working, couldn't get enough leverage to hold a bike steady like that. Plus with the flareside bed, it's perfectly straight on all sides, but obviously you've got less room to work with. Two bikes can fit in there, most comfortably with them facing in opposite directions, but I don't know what to tie off too. They're is nothing on the sides of the bed to tie down to or on the bed rails. I have a snap down tarp that I leave on, and it has aluminum railing that runs down the bed-rails and underneath there is still nothing. I was wondering if the clamps holding the snap down cover mounts in the front would be strong enough to mount a bike to, just for short trips unless you guys say it's cool. But anyway, I just wanted to know what seemed like a good setup that can be used just as well for 2 bikes as 1. I don't really want to have to mess up the bed with too much drilling, but I will if I have to. What I really don't want to do is have to take off my snap down mounts each time, so that's almost of the question. Anyone have a good plan? [/QUOTE]
