What is this in the bed of the truck?

Dumb question, but what is this? It came with the truck...

 

Bike mount. For 15mm or 20mm thru axles. Take off the front wheel and slide the front axle through it.

 

Looks like it's some kinda move able anchoring point. Made by yakima

 

I would guess the bottom part is a fork mount for bikes so you can take off the front wheel and mount it there.

 

Bicycle mount. Most of the high dollar bikes come with a quick disconnect front wheel. Then you slide the forks in that do-hickey to haul the bike.

 

The bottom part thats bolted to the truck is to hold 9mm/qr suspension forks. Previous owner had a 15mm or 20mm axle so he bought an adapter that gets clamped by the 9mm mount instead of buying a bolt on 15/20mm mount.

 

Thank you! It's good to know.

 

Your welcome!
