I purchased two blockheads about 5 years ago to carry my road and mountain bikes on road trips. This accessory is simply perfect. They have been in the bed of my truck since I originally installed them back in '06. They always work, no questions, no problems. Even trucking down hard washboard fire roads, or traversing very rough terrain, my bikes are always secure and hardly even wobble. They are so good, my brother purchase a couple for the bed of his Ford Ranger. This is a fantastic product! He mounted his Blockheads directly to the bed, which I do not recommend for many reasons. Please see below for my preferred installation method. Instead of mounting them directly to the bed, I attached them to a length of redwood lumber that fits securely in the bed slots of my 2004 Chevy Silverado. [Yakima, hit me up if you want pics] My brother, who often rides with me, refined the attachment by drilling through the 2x6 and installing a carriage bolt with two nuts. That way the Blockhead is always secure. This installation method allows you remove the 2x6 and the blockheads should you ever need the complete truck bed-floor - and you don't have to unbolt the Blockheads - you just slide the 2x6 out from the bed slots. Such an awesome deal. Thanks Yakima! Josh
