Description of Related Arts

Automobiles, such as sedans and coupes, are considered as a passenger car that transports people with limited cargo space. Nowadays, people like the space and like sitting up high for better visibility when driving. Therefore, utility vehicles, such as trucks, cargo van, or sport utility vehicles (SUV), that transport both people, goods, tools, cargo, and the like, are becoming so popular and are bigger and taller than normal passenger automobiles so as to provide more cargo space of the vehicle. However, the cargo to be carried may exceed the available cargo space of the vehicle. For outdoor recreational activities, such as hunting or camping, as an example, tents, sleeping bags, chairs, water containers, and other bulky items are often carried in the limited cargo space of the vehicle. It is desirable to provide various areas for temporary storage of items. Vehicle manufacturers offer many different types of exterior storage devices installed into the vehicle.

A first common storage arrangement is a roof rack installed on a roof of the vehicle. The bulky or heavy cargo, such as luggage, skis and bicycle, can be fastened at the roof rack on top of the vehicle. However, this roof rack is designed to carry only specific types of larger object. In addition, even though this roof rack can well serve for storing items, it is difficult for the driver to reach the roof rack for loading and unloading the items at the roof rack anytime or anywhere for some handy items. The driver is required to climb up the roof of the vehicle to access the items carried or fasten the items thereon.

A second common storage arrangement is a rear storage device installed at the rear end of the vehicle. Accordingly, an attachment or adapter is required for installing the rear storage device to the vehicle, wherein such attachment is not designed to support substantial loads. Generally, the rear storage device is mostly used to carry spare tire. In other words, the heavy items are not suggested to be loaded in the rear storage device. Since the rear storage device is installed at the rear end of the vehicle behind the cargo space thereof, the rear storage device may block the access of the cargo space. Furthermore, the rear storage device is intended to permanently attach to the vehicle to enhance the rigid support of the rear storage. It is impractical and expensive to permanently install the rear storage device to limit the access of the cargo storage of the vehicle.

Generally, these vehicles are constructed to have a front bumper and a rear bumper installed at a front end and a rear end of the vehicle. It is to the provision of the vehicle to enhance the storage ability thereof by modifying spatial positions at the front and/or rear bumpers so as to provide additional functions thereof.
