The Old-School Method: Ramps, Tie-Downs, and a Bit of Faith

Loading a dirt bike into a truck bed is a rite of passage for any rider. It's simple in theory, but in practice, things can get sketchy fast. Here’s how to do it the conventional way, without tipping over and becoming an internet fail video.

What You’ll Need:

• A sturdy loading ramp (not a 2x4, please)
• A buddy (optional but highly recommended)
• A pair of quality tie-down straps

Step-by-Step Guide:

1. Park on Level Ground – Make sure your truck is on a flat surface and, if possible, back up to a curb or hill to reduce the ramp angle.
2. Set Up the Ramp – Secure it to the tailgate to prevent slipping. If it moves, you’re in for a bad time.
3. Walk It Up (or Ride It Up Like a Daredevil) – If you're alone, put the bike in neutral, hold the front brake, and walk it up slowly using the clutch for control. If you have help, have one person push while the other steadies the bike.
4. Strap It Down – Attach tie-downs to the handlebars or triple clamp, pull the suspension down slightly, and secure the straps to the truck bed’s anchor points.
5. Double-Check Everything – Give the bike a shake. If it moves, tighten the straps. If it falls, start over (and maybe rethink your technique).

OR… Use a Boundry Rack and Gain 30 Cubic Feet of Space

Sure, the old-school method works, but it eats up your entire truck bed, making it tough to bring extra gear, coolers, or anything else fun. That’s where the Boundry Truck Bed System comes in. Instead of cramming your bike into the bed and leaving no room for anything else, the Boundry rack elevates your bike above the bed, freeing up space below for all your other adventure essentials.

How to Load a Dirt Bike with a Boundry Rack

1. Install the Boundry Rack – Bolt the rack to the truck bed using the provided mounting hardware. The modular T-Track system lets you adjust the setup for different bikes and gear.
2. Position the Bike – Roll the dirt bike up a ramp like usual, but instead of wedging it into the bed, lift it onto the Boundry rack’s secure mounts.
3. Secure the Front Wheel – Place the front wheel into the integrated wheel chock to hold it steady.
4. Strap It Down – Use tie-down straps to lock the bike in place. The rack’s elevated design prevents side-to-side movement, keeping everything secure.
5. Enjoy Your Extra Space – With your bike lifted, the full bed of your truck is now open for gear, fuel cans, coolers, and that one friend who always mooches off your setup.

Why Upgrade to a Boundry Rack?

• More Storage Space – Gain up to 30 cubic feet of extra room in your truck bed.
• Easier Towing – Keep your tailgate up and your hitch clear for trailers, campers, or extra gear.
• Modular & Adjustable – Works with dirt bikes, mountain bikes, and other adventure gear.

So, you could struggle with ramps and tie-downs the old-fashioned way—or you could upgrade to the Boundry Truck Bed System and make your life a whole lot easier. Check it out!
