Kyle,
check out:

they have a bunch of truck racks, plus a front fork mount that can be bolted
to either your bed rails or tool box. I had a Rhode Gear bed rail fork mount
that I used for years and it finally broke after about ten years of use...now
I have a Saris roof rack which looks pretty sharp.
BTW, Dak beds are wide enough to mount a bike sideways too which makes a bed
rail setup nice, for more than two bikes.

how do you transport your bike(s) in your Dak? My current setup is this: A

piece of 2"x4", cut to snugly fit in the bed, and then I put a 70pound bag

of sand over it, to hold it down. I bolted 2 'spindle mounts' onto the

2"x4". It works and works good for me, plus it only ran me about $40.

However, my brother and dad often go with me and each of them has a $1500

mountain bike, Specialized FSR Pro and a Trek Y-Glide. Sometimes they get

picky about how I carry my bike, but it is only worth $500 and it is beat

up, so I could care less how I transport it. They are willing to pitch in a

buy something 'better'. Anyuse the the bike carriers which mount into a 2"

hitch opening? I would like to be able to carry upto 3 bikes total, but 90%

of the time will only carry 2 bikes. I do have a crossbed toolbox, if it

matters. >>
