The present disclosure describes an accessory mounting system for vehicles. The mounting system is reconfigurable between collapsed and expanded configurations, and includes first and second brackets. The first bracket is configured for releasable connection to a vehicle (e.g., via a utility track), and the second bracket is movably connected to the first bracket and configured to support an accessory, such as a speaker, a television, a monitor or other such display, and the like. The first bracket includes a rotatable locking mechanism that is engageable with the second bracket, as well as at least one fastener that is configured to releasably engage the vehicle (e.g., the utility track). The at least one fastener is positioned between the first and second brackets such that the at least one fastener is inaccessible when the mounting system is in the collapsed configuration.

A multipurpose rail system is described. Embodiments of the multipurpose rail system can include, but is not limited to, one or more rails and one or more accessories configured to removably couple to the one or more rails. The one or more rails are configured to be secured to a variety of different objects and provide a means for attaching an accessory proximate the object. For instance, a rail may be coupled to a side of a recreational vehicle so that kitchen accessories may be removably secured to the side of the recreational vehicle.

An apparatus for protecting a tailgate portion of a truck have a truck bed is disclosed. This apparatus comprises a protection bar, at least two support tubes and at least two mounting tubes. The protection bar has a first protection bar end and a second protection bar end. Each of the support tubes have having a straight insertion portion, a protection bar receiving portion and a curved portion therebetween. The protection bar receiving portions are configured to receive one end of the protection bar. Each curved portion is configured to curve above and over the tailgate. Each of the mounting tubes have an open mounting tube first end, an open mounting tube second end, and four mounting tube side walls. The mounting tubes are configured to slidably receive the insertion portion of a support tube. Further, each mounting tube is configured to be secured to an interior side wall of a truck bed.

A substantially panel system for a truck includes a middle portion, a clamping portion, a displacement portion, and a clamp. The middle portion has mounting features configured to rigidly receive accessories or accessory mounts. The clamping portion is disposed above the middle portion. The displacement portion is disposed between the middle portion and the clamping portion and defines a lateral offset of the middle portion from the clamping portion. The clamp pulls the clamping portion toward a lip of a bed rail of a sidewall of a truck bed, thereby coupling the panel system to the sidewall of the truck bed, without the middle or displacement portions laterally extending farther toward the lip of the bed rail than the clamping portion.

An assembly is described for connecting a step to a tow truck or other commercial truck using a sub-frame. The step is installed at a height that allows access by a user standing thereon to a bed of the truck and to any items located on the truck bed. The assembly also can feature a tool box installed on the sub-frame at a side of the tow truck. Left and right versions of the assembly can be made for installation on left and right sides of the truck, respectively.
