I'd part with just 1 for $50. 1 has a Thule lock on the arm mechanism, 1 doesn't. You pick.Work well? Any interest in parting with 1? If I ever took more than my bike I would use the pad
These are all good options. I'll add the obvious one for single bike. Laying it on its side with drive side up. I have an added feature in my bed that helps though which is a heavy rubber mat. I've had the same one for 15 years which was bought for a GM but with some selective cutting fits my Ram. Its good in general for keeping lots of stuff from sliding.Got a new truck with a longer bed. Don't really want to use the tailgate pad. Anyone have any good DIY options for in bed wheel on travel?

Guessing it can lock to the rear wheel with the front tire towards the cab, like in the link pics? Seems like a lot of videos have the it holding the front tireI'd part with just 1 for $50. 1 has a Thule lock on the arm mechanism, 1 doesn't. You pick.
If it's a long bed, by the front tire works best. It also works with short beds by clamping the rear tire and turning the bars to make it fit, just like the pictures. I was able to use this in my '16 Tacoma long bed (6') with the front tire clamped.Guessing it can lock to the rear wheel with the front tire towards the cab, like in the link pics?

Ok. Yea it's a 6.5' so I'll need to turn the front tire slightly. I'll take one. Have venmo?If it's a long bed, by the front tire works best.

Yea, I know this is an option, but I want quick. That's why I like the pad, but then I'm too lazy to take on/offMy 5” tired fat bike doesn’t fit laying down drive side up. So I do the motorcycle tie-down setup with bike standing vertical, diagonally in the bed, Handle bars strapped to the bed tie-downs.

Nope, tried. Need 2" (insert joke here) it's an XL RipleyAt 6.5ft the bike should fit without turning anything. At least all of mine do

Straps are cut to length with a rope loop that fits to the bars. It as quick as tensioning to ratchet buckles.Yea, I know this is an option, but I want quick. That's why I like the pad, but then I'm too lazy to take on/off
Simple solution, new bike!Nope, tried. Need 2" (insert joke here) it's an XL Ripley
Very true, old school, pre2015, can fit a medium 29r bike in the back seat with the front wheel off. Newer can only fit a mullet setup with some creative adjustments to the front passenger seat. The meater tires we're all running now also adds to the largenessbummer, all the bikes i have tried fit fine, but i dont think i have done anything bigger than a large, kind of amazing how big bikes have gotten
