Wondering if you even need to strap down the rear of your vehicle if you have a pair of our Quick Cradles Fronts on and in use? Well, yep, you do. You can use straps in the back like you have been doing for years, hunt and hope you find a good attachment point. Or save yourself time and worries while towing with our efficient and reliable patent pending Quick Cradles at the rear of your vehicle. The Quick Cradles - Rears have been designed to work in harmony with the easy drive on and strap in features of our Quick Cradle Fronts. These rear mounts are designed with removable cross bars that pull out and then drive directly through into your Quick Cradle Fronts. Once your front wheels are in the Cradles up front, replace the Quick Cradle Rear's cross bars around your rear tire, pin them in, strap over your wheel, and tighten. Our design allows the yellow bars to be placed in the configuration that works best given your vehicle's clearances allow you to rachet strap it securely down in the rear.
