Default Interior bike rack in a 2003 Toyota 4Runner

Hmmm,
make your own and use the cargo tie downs in the rear deck to hold it in
place?

I simply made a cheesy base out of scrap 2x4s then attached fork lock
downs to it. The Yakima fork locks cost about $20 each. You can buy
an interior rack, my parents have one they use in their minivan. I
don't recall who makes it, but it was ordered through a CarQuest
store. You would need to check the spacing and posistion of the lock
downs on something like that to make sure it would work in your
vehicle.

My rack doesn't look the greatest but few people ever see it. My
parent's rack has straps on it that go out the back under the hatch
and can attach to a hitch or something underneath. I should do
something like that or use the cargo hold downs for mine. It's stable
enough, but the bikes could be dangerous in an accident.

I see no reason why they wouldn't fit in a 2003 4Runner. I have a
2000 4Runner which I believe is smaller and 2 bikes fit just fine,
with plenty of room left over for cargo.
