My previous Toy Hauler was a Weekend Warrior FS2600. It didn't have a garage space and the cargo loading area was smaller than the 12+" garage on my newer Elevation. However, the Weekend Warrior had better placement for the D Rings. The anchor points were in each of the corners and then more sets in the middle.The D Rings in my Elevation's garage are grouped in the middle of the space. Instead of putting them at the front of the garage and at the back by the ramp, the six tie downs are two feet or so closer to the center on both ends, giving me a smaller cargo area. This isn't usually a problem for two dirt bikes when it's just my wife and I, but this weekend two of our kids are joining us and I need to fit in two more bikes. I could fit five bikes in my old WW, but I'm not sure how to fit four in this nicer Elevation.I don't really want to install e-track since our kids don't ride with us much anymore. I suppose I could do it eventually, but I won't have time before Thanksgiving. For now I need to do my best with the factory anchors.Any ideas?If I put two in forwards and scoot their rear wheels out towards the walls, this will give me more side-to-side space to roll one in backwards, but I don't think I can fit one more in that way.Thoughts?

Edit:I just re-read your post... are you talking about dirt-bike "bikes" with motors? If so, that's a totally different issue. I thought you were referring to bicycles.

Yep. Toy Hauler forum. Things that go vrooom.The bikes are listed in my signature. :B

Dave could you use a couple 8' 2x4s or a 4x4 to lay across the garage, then tie down in the center then use some eye bolts screwed in the boars near the ends for additional tie down points?

I used the existing mounting points in order to not put anymore holes in the floor.

Put your bike in gear and compress your suspension you can tie down the foot pegs as well.

Here is a link if it posts to one that could easily be modified to work.

It looks like it bolts together so you could get 2 longer 2x2 alum tubes and space out the racks accordingly.

Based on the tie dn location I seen in a 14 4012, there are 9 tie dn points. With 4 bikes I would take two up front with bike chocks as wide apart as they could go then slide the rear wheels outward then bring the other 2 together up between them using the middle tie dns for the front of the rear bikes as well as the rear of front bikes...just a thought. Another option would be to find an old bicycle rack, I think that one of these would work for dirt bikes, cut it down to use for 3 or even all 4 bikes up front then the 3rd one in the rear position if you couldn't get them all in front.

Your other 2 bikes are small in size. Tie down the 450 and 250 then secure the 230's to those. Cushion the bikes between each other
