? though, when you use tie downs how do you stop from loading up the forks too much?

that looks nice, i can see a few more mod's you can do to make it better. I'd make a wooden base made out of some 2X4 to add wieght and also raise the front to keep the wheel from rolling out, thereby removing the need for a bunjee chord.....
just screw the pvc into the 2X4 blammo......

Did you use the exact dimensions? Just wondering cause I have a Tacoma too and it said that the dimensions were to fit a f-150...
The are slightly smaller then the 16.5 tubes that they recomended. I have mines sitting in the middle of the truck facing backwards and between the wheel wells. Those tubes are about 12-12.25 inches, thats about as close as I can measure from outside. I built the left, middle, and right wheel holder thinggy and then figured out how much what lenght tubing i needed. Its very tight in there, and i used little rubber feet to keep it in place. Works great!
Very cool... Thanks for posting that!
Made one for my Tacoma as well. I've been using it for a little over 2 years and have hauled lots of bikes a long way. I've had as many as 5 bikes in it, insert 3 bikes in the slots and fill in the gaps with 2 others facing the opposite direction to keep the bars from hitting.
