This is an awesome idea. I'm so happy with my 8ft box on my 05 superduty. If I ever get tired of my superduty ill be replacing it with a hightop longbox van. Like a ford transit, but very cool idea
perfect addition, I was just thinking about something like this design! It was great, I am just north of Edmonton so I am pretty local, I will be starting a separate Dirt Bike Channel shortly, but this is a must mod for my 2019 Tacoma TRD Pro with a very short bed.....you got a new sub btw...

Great setup. I actually do a similar thing and put my bike stand in the corner and run the strap over the tire through the oil change hole to cinch the tire down. It pulls the rear wheel and the whole stand down really hard because I use the floor D rings at the rear of the bed creating a triangle. It doesn't budge no matter what and it's a free cause I already own it. Yours looks more elegant though.
Thanks, if you look closely the tube on my personal ones does extend down to the bed bottom to transfer the weight downwards. Although the footprint is pretty small and tucked right against the side walls of the bed.
No I haven't really thought of sharing any of the plans... Nor do I have any drawings I worked from. Just the idea behind it. I kinda just tailored it to fit the Nissan Titan with he accessory rails. I could do a more in depth look at how they go together tho.
I would have liked to see how easy/hard it is to put the rear of bike up there. I’m guessing the front handlebar tie down straps loosen up when you tilt the back of the bike up and then the front end gets a little squirrelly?
stevebaum yes good point, push the bike to the front and strap down as you normally would. Grab the top of your rear tire rim and use your legs to lift. It’s really not hard to get the rear end up at all. Once it is up you will have to tighten down the front straps, but they won’t become so loose that your bike will tip and fall. 👍🏻
Haha! You strap the bars like you would normally and then lift from the top of the rear rim. The weight of the bike transfers to the front tire, it’s not as hard to lift as you might think. 👍
@@RideEnduro I must just be a weak person then. Pulled my lower back out loading bikes this way the first time. Tip for anyone else: squat and lift from the end of the swing arm (both hands) to lift with your legs as much as possible. Helps to use a lift stand to cheat a little and get the tire off the bed floor if you have one.
@@michaeldelarosa1604 Yes good tips, always lift with your legs! Strap the front end down first so that you are not trying to balance the bike at the same time as lifting. You will have to re-cinch the straps once the rear tire is up on the stands.
I always release the internal pressure on the forks after strapping the bikes down in the truck via the fork bleeders, but honestly, it’s a well debated myth about ruining fork seals by strapping your bikes down... if this is what you are asking?
@@RideEnduro brand new fork seals in my rx tied it down and left it tied down at a hotel and next morning when I unloaded it at the track both seals were leaking. Obviously my mistake but it just shows that excessive pressure for a length of time is really hard on the seals. Great video by the way I'm definitely gonna try this method
Ditto. I only use the pedestals when I have 2 or 3 bikes in the truck, or when I’m going camping as it frees up a lot of bed space for packing more gear.
Vadim Sedletsky these aren’t necessary for just a ride day. More so for camping weekends or when you have more than just your dirt bike gear to bring with you.
Vadim Sedletsky 2 bikes in the bed is when you usually run out of room real quick. With the pedestals you can fill the truck bed as you normally could under the bikes 👍🏻

Very cool idea... a welder and a few items and your rocking it!

Hell yeah 8 ft box FTW!

@@RideEnduro will definitely do that! thanks!
These worked great, Thank you.
Good to hear 🤘

This is genius. I'm going to have to make up something similar for my truck
Hell yeah 👍
So glad I just went ahead and bought a full size hahah
My neighbor has an 8’ box 3500 RAM. I do get envious of the ease he has loading his bikes and gear. Damn thing doesn’t fit on the driveway tho haha
I like your design better than the link you posted. His goes all the way down to the truck bed floor as yours doesn’t touch the truck bed floor.
Thanks, if you look closely the tube on my personal ones does extend down to the bed bottom to transfer the weight downwards. Although the footprint is pretty small and tucked right against the side walls of the bed.
Have you ever thought about making a video or releasing plans for the DIY guys? Your design looks fantastic.

Just had a question what did you used to line your truck bed thanks Ryan
To be honest I'm not sure what it's called. It's 1/2" thick rock impregnated rubber matting that we salvaged out of a garage.
I need this. Where can I buy something like that?
You bet! There is a link in the video description. Dirt Bike Pedestal on FB.

Thanks for use my song in your video!

@@colekernel2365 that’s crazy?! Do You use fork bleeders like the motion pro micros?
@@RideEnduro nope👎next thing I'm gonna try😂 changing these seals is getting to be a pain.
A basic support between front tire and fender mount has been being used since the 60s. I am scared to ask what Gen your from !
I will copy one of yours brother
R the rubber strap is reliable for off rough hell road???
@@rna16arunsainju oh yes, once you tighten the rubber strap it will stay in place!
In my Nissan frontier king cab I just load my crf300l with front wheel in corner . Tie down, close gate. Pack ramp,gear,gas around bike. K.I.S.S.
Ditto. I only use the pedestals when I have 2 or 3 bikes in the truck, or when I’m going camping as it frees up a lot of bed space for packing more gear.
Just buy a moto gate....
Another good option, but the pedestals open up a lot of bed space under the bikes to load more gear, coolers, gas, or camping supplies!
What about rock chips on the open tailgate? I’ve been debating making something like the video or just getting a moto gate.
Yeah that’s a good point, don’t have to worry about wrecking your tailgate with road trash!
Why?
Vadim Sedletsky these aren’t necessary for just a ride day. More so for camping weekends or when you have more than just your dirt bike gear to bring with you.
@@RideEnduro makes sense. But beds have enough space for most and if not the truck itself has.

@@RideEnduro Probably - well said. I'm kinda sociopath, ride with one bike. (next is to buy a truck...) thanks for the info!
