ABSTRACT:
An external rack for attachment to a vehicle has a base releasably mountable on a vehicle; a generally vertical member having upper and lower ends, the generally vertical member lockably, releasably mountable on the base at the lower end; a generally horizontal member releasably mountable to the generally vertical member at the upper end of the generally vertical member; a slidable frame adapted for snug fitment around the generally horizontal member, the slidable frame adapted to support an elongate object there-against and slidably positionable along the generally horizontal member; and a selectively tensionable strap releasably mountable to the generally horizontal member extending along the generally horizontal member and positionable over the slidable frame; whereby the selectively tensionable strap may be selectively tensioned to releasably frictionally hold an elongate object against the slidable frame and to simultaneously releasably frictionally secure the slidable frame against the generally horizontal member.
