1. A system for securing articles to a vehicle, comprising:
a longitudinal elongate rail traversing a longitudinal direction that is adjustable in length;
at least one fastener to removably mount said longitudinal elongate rail to a portion of a vehicle;
at least one spacer disposed between said portion of the vehicle and said longitudinal elongate rail to cause the longitudinal elongate rail to be oriented lower toward the front of the vehicle; and
a plurality of supports adjustably mounted to the longitudinal elongate rail, wherein each said support in the plurality of supports is configured to removably receive a portion of an article to be secured to the vehicle, each said support in the plurality of supports being releasably clamped in place onto said longitudinal rail to selectively maintain the position of each said support stationary with respect to the longitudinal elongate rail, and further wherein an orientation of the at least one spacer causes a first support of the plurality of supports toward the front of the vehicle to be located at a lower relative vertical position with respect to a second support of the plurality of supports located toward a rear of the vehicle.
