I'm tired of my bikes coming loose when one or both front wheels won't stay straight going down a rough road, and looking at a bed rack such as the Samson one that Universal makes. Plus the extra tie down anchor point in the middle would be nice. Are there any others I should check out or is this as good as it gets? I always thought the idea could be improved upon if it had chocks that slid on a track rather than having two permanently positioned. Also, are the chocks placed at the right distance apart so that two bikes' handlebars are not fighting for position in the middle?

Never used one myself, but I've been eyeballing the CCR bed buddy rack. Looks legit.

CCR bed buddy is great, they also make chocks that mounts to the Nissan Utili-track and slides back and forth and I think they are coming out with a track system of their own.

I have the Universal Sampson Rack with the third bike extension, I purchased it for my 08 Toyota Tacoma Long Bed through BTO Sports for $75.00(they were on sale). The fitment was perfect due to the ends sliding, and the fastening was a little sketchy due to drilling through the bed. I normally just use the two bike holder but every once and while have to put the third bike extender in.

I have had the Universal Unit in 3 different trucks, the only way to go !!! Well worth the $$$ !!!
