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.

that's the one I like too. I built something similar a LONG time ago for my first TH,then they came out with these and everybody said I should have patented mine! I do like how easy these are to put in/take out; mine takes two bolts and two eyebolts. It does bolt to the frame as well via some speed nuts.

I ended up going with the Bolt-it-on/Beast Rack. Awesome guys to work with. It's actually a father/son business. They custom cut the main rail for me and I picked it up at his house after work.
For tie down points, I didn't trust pulling hard on the stock eye bolts that only use the floor wood. I drilled two holes in between the fender wells. These go through the frame rails for a more secure tie-down point. I put two bikes facing backwards with the rear tires in the kitchen with the other two facing forward with the rears at the ramp. This is a 2100 FK setup.

before e track i'd go with one of the pre-made tie down rack systems, just my .02. I hate putting holes in the floor

Great job Dave, about what I had in mind. Side supports is a good idea. I agree about the eTrack, hard to keep clean. Safe travels and happy camping!

Here's what we ended up with. I'll probably get some e-track in the future, but I don't like the idea of adding a gutter to catch all the dirt.

I use the Beast Racks http://beastracks.com/store/index.php?main_page=index, which is the same product as the Bolt It On.
They have extended chocks so the handlebars can be offset on alternating bikes. Might still have to back in alternating bikes.

Too late for you for Thanksgiving. Get a 2x4, put some eye bolts in it, attach it to the existing floor D-rings, put the bikes in sideways with the tires up against the wall.

how about sideways? alternating direction?

or mount cheap harbor freight wheel chocks on plywood and then tie down bars and pegs.

New to the forum, new to trailers. I also have four bikes and will have to be a bit creative fitting them into my 2005 WW Superlite 2100FK. I'm going with this: http://www.boltiton.com/wp-site/ Not sure if the four-bike setup will work, may go with two, and have the bikes back-to-back. Not cheap, but they look like they will fit the bill with little fuss.

Well their facebook page probably gives the answer, "Keep an eye on our website, there are new floorplans and pictures going up!"
