Mike J Schoonbrood Webboard User Reg: 04-30-2005 Posts: 2784 Loc: Toronto, ON Offline	Out of curiosity -- how do you secure crates in the truck bed? My dogs don't ride in the bed, but I need to take crates with me when I go to training... the pup fits in a crate that fits in the cab, Cujo's crate is secured in the bed with 2 ratchet tie downs going from the rear cleats thru the front holes on the side of the crate and hooking around the front door opening. It's definately secure, no way that's coming undone... but I can't imagine fitting 2 crates back there and secure them in the same way I secure the one crate... so I'm wondering if anyone has any tips/tricks to properly securing one and stopping an empty crate from flying outta the bed into traffic at highway speeds <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

The space between the wheelwells is 48". I'm wanting to know if the width at the bottom of the crates is less than 48" when side by side.

The widest part would hang over the top of the wheelwell but I don't know that you would get 3" from each side. If you don't, you could try two 4x4 posts and lay them crossways between the wheelwells and put the crates ontop of them. That would give you another inch or two. As far as securing them, I just use a ratchet strap over the top.
