Best way to install tie-down hooks ?
What are some of the ways to install some-type of hooks or tie-downs to the beds of our L's. I want something tuff to tie-down at least two or three motorcycles. I find the two hooks in the front a little on the wippy side. What to do ?

Go to an auto parts store and get the kind that fit into the stake pockets of the bed. They have rubber gromets, and when you tighten them down, the rubber expands and locks them in the stake pockets. (There are 4, one in each corner)

I don't know how you can fit three bikes in the L, but...
I have no problems with the stock hooks for two bikes. Been doing it on two trucks every other weekend. Stock is certainly strong enough.

Holeshot,
How do you put two bikes in the back? Are you talking Dirt bikes or street? Do you think there is a way I could fit two street bikes ('97 YZF1000 and an '02 R1) in the back of the shortbed flairside?
