How Do You Strap Down Two Dirt Bikes in a Truck Bed?

If you own two dirt bikes and need to transport them, you have a few different ways to do it. One of the most popular is to strap them down in the bed of a truck.

Doing this correctly is important not only for safely transporting your dirt bikes, but also for protecting your truck. Here are a few tips on how to strap down two dirt bikes in a truck bed.

Step 1: Gather the necessary materials. You will need four ratchet straps, four soft loops, and eight D-rings. Make sure that all of these items are rated for heavy-duty use to ensure they will be able to hold your dirt bikes securely.

Step 2: Place the first dirt bike in the bed of the truck and secure it with two ratchet straps. Thread one ratchet strap through each wheel so that it forms an “X” pattern between the wheels, then tighten it securely. You can also use soft loops in place of ratchet straps if you prefer.

Step 3: Secure the second bike in a similar way as the first one. Place it so that it is next to and facing away from the first bike, then use two more ratchet straps or soft loops to secure it.

Step 4: Secure both bikes by tying down their front wheels with two more ratchet straps or soft loops. This will help keep them from shifting while they are being transported.

Step 5: Secure both bikes even further by tying them together with two more ratchet straps or soft loops. This will help keep them even more secure while they are being transported.

Conclusion:

Straping down two dirt bikes in a truck bed can be done easily and safely with some heavy-duty materials like ratchet straps or soft loops, as well as D-rings. With these items, you can make sure your dirt bikes stay securely in place during transport without damaging either your trucks interior or exterior surfaces.
