Thru bolting a motor cycle chock

I did. Two of the four bolts of the baseplate run through a steel cross-member. I only had to lower a corner of the coroplast to do it. Top part comes off easily when parked for a while.

Many people will tell you to spend $$$ to get a chock that doesn't need bolts. My $39.95 chock from HF works just fine for both mine and DW's Ultras.

I use an aluminum plate that has slots to go over the D-rings in the floor. The chock mounts on the plate and the motorcycle tie downs keep everything in place. And it takes only seconds to totally remove everything.

But, did you use a 20% off coupon :@

Actually I've had them so long I'm pretty sure I paid the full price at the time: $29.99

joebedford - I assume there's just some insulation laying on top of the caroplast? Also, did you put in backing plates or just fender washers?

Through bolting with backup plates or into frame members is the only way the existing floor will take the load -long term. Remember most TH's use some version of engineered sheet goods (OSB)or a luan plywood/foam sandwich for subfloors. These sub-floor systems get soft very easily....

I didn't remove my corrugated plastic, but I did cut 3 sides so it could hinge open. No insulation in mine and unless they tell you there is some most consider the corrugated plastic to be the "insulation" When I was finished I used 2 zip ties and some very sticky black tape (like Gorilla tape) to hold it in place.

I use two of those $39 HF chocks. I strap them down with rubber mats underneath. I can place them where ever I want depending on how many bikes I am carrying. And I have a clean floor when not carrying anything.

Do you have any pics of this setup? Are you saying the chocks are just sitting on the rubber mats?

Nothing but dust and wires lying on the coroplast which I didn't remove as I was able to pull down the back corner to get access. The floor itself is insulated.
