ABSTRACT:
A carrier attachable to a vehicle having a bumper mounted to the vehicle frame via bumper attachment members or a pair of energy absorbing shock absorbers. The carrier includes a pair of straps having a first portion, an integral depending second portion and an outwardly extending, integral third portion. In one embodiment, clamp members, each formed with outwardly extending outer flanges and an intermediate arcuate portion, are securable in an inverted relationship around the energy absorbing shock absorbers and have the first portion of each strap attached thereto such that the second portion of each strap extends downward below the bottom of the vehicle bumper and the third portion of each strap extends outward beyond the vehicle bumper. In another embodiment, a clamp member having a V-shaped center portion is positioned below the energy absorbing shock absorber and fastened to the first portion of each of the straps disposed above the energy absorbing shock absorber to mount the carrier to the energy absorbing shock absorbers to the vehicle. A cross member extends between and adjustably joined to the third portions of each of the straps to adjustably laterally space the straps with respect to the energy absorbing bumper shock absorbers. Various carrying attachments, such as a rack, towing bar, towing hitch, etc., are securable to the third portions of each strap or to the cross member for attaching various articles to the vehicle-attachable carrier.
