Hi,
I was searching to find out what bike rack you used in the bed. I'm told with a bedliner, I can't use the Hollywood rack. Please tell me you found the elusive no-drilling-easy-to-install-reasonably-priced bike rack for two.

Appreciate your help.

Are you looking for one that sits on top of the bed rails or on the floor of the bed?

I've seen Thule bed rail mounted racks in trucks with liners. You might have to drill a small hole if your bedliner comes over the rails. You press a small button in that snaps back out once the rack is installed on the bed rail that keeps it from being lifted out of the bed (does that make sense?). So you'd potentially have to drill a small (like 7/16" or something) hole in the plastic.

On my old Chevy, I used one of these (different manufacturer, same basic design):

I attached it to a piece of 2" square tubing that was almost as long as the bed was wide. I welded end caps on each end, then threaded a hole in each end, and installed one of these on each end.

Easy in, easy out. Only there when I wanted it.

I spent about $40 in parts plus welding and scrap metal. Take a look at the fourth post here.
Easy, non permanent and no drilling required!
Cheers :beer:,
