Default 2008 supercrew dirt bike configuration help

Purchased a 2008 f150 supercrew for hauling dirtbikes and gear. My problem is a lack of tiedowns. Has anyone added tiedowns or drilled into their bed to add them. I need to haul two dirtbikes and with just the corner ones, it isn't going to work. Thanks for the help

I did the same or put a shorts strap between the handlebars then one from each side down to the bed tie down. Pulls them both down at the same time.

SS, what about those stake pocket tie downs? They are easy on the wallet and removeable. Just pop the plastic cap off the stake pocket and insert the tie down.

RealTruck.com has some that look factory. 21.95 a pair. Much cheaper than a trailer!

I assume you have a 6.5 ft bed? 1 big bike will fit diagonally, but if you want 2 to go straight in, try something called a bed buddy. Much more secure way of doing things.

These actually work really well...i had one in my old toyota and told myself never again will i haul a bike without one! Keeps the wheels straight and gives you a very secure way to transport.

Yeah I have no problem hauling my dirt bike and my buddies at the same time. Hes got a 450 and I have a 250 so I don't see a problem. Maybe if you have a toolbox itd be hard to hook up to the front corners but thats my opinion.
