    didn't want to bolt the wheel chock down in my truck bed. Too much of a PITA when I guy needs to remove it so the truck can do other work.

    So I fabricated a mount to the gooseneck hitch. Quick release fellas:

    Pretty cool idea. No mounting holes.

    Very clever! How do you load the VFR in the truck, guessing ramps, if so, what type? I transported mine in the back of my truck once, used aluminum folding ramps but it was too steep and scary. I have a 5x8 trailer with wood boards (2x6's) for decking and installed a chock like yours, little less hazardous now, at least to me.

    I have a 5ft aluminum ramp. My driveway and street angle allows me to get a ramp angle that's pretty easy to load. Trying to load or unload in a strange location takes a little hunting.
