Anyone have a home made ( DIY ) Chock / tie-down system?

Looking for pics or ideas on building a tie down system using existing D rings. Any pics or ideas would be appreciated. I saw a pretty cool home made wheel chock built from wood.

We will be hauling 2 dual sport bikes in our 30 foot toy hauler and I want to go side to side with them.

  • Here's how I have our street bikes secured:



    No holes drilled in the floor and the I use the existing D-rings. You could get some cheaper chocks, like from HF, but the Condor chocks make sure nothing moves and no need for huge amounts of hold down pressure either. Bolts come up from the aluminum plate through the chocks to hold them in place.
