A system, method, and apparatus for modifying a vehicle comprising a cab enclosure configured to interface with a vehicle, a fixed deck, configured rearward of, and cooperating with, the vehicle cab, and an extensible deck projecting from, and cooperating with, the fixed deck. The cab enclosure further comprises at least one roof adaptor comprising at least one roof adaptor panel connected to the vehicle and a lower cab enclosure comprising at least one panel connected to the vehicle wherein the cab enclosure elements, fixed deck, and extensible deck are connected to the vehicle without permanent modification to the vehicle.

A swingable accessory mount assembly includes a receiver mount configured for mounting to a hitch receiver of a vehicle. A first arm has a first end and a second end. The first end is attached to the receiver mount. The first arm extends laterally from the receiver mount to the second end. A second arm has a first end and a second end. The first end is pivotally attached to or near the second end of the first arm. The second arm is movable between a closed position and an open position relative to the first arm. A hitch adapter is attached to or near the second end of the second arm. When the second arm is in the closed position, the hitch adapter is located on an opposite lateral side of the receiver mount from the second end of the first arm.

The inventive technology described herein may be present in many different embodiments that include systems and methods for adjustably protecting a spare tire with a rearward-facing camera. In some embodiments, a spare tire protective system may utilize a hollow base, a camera collar, a retaining element such as a faceplate, and a tire cover to easily adjust to varying spare tire sizes and wheel offsets for vehicles that may be equipped with a center or near center-mounted rearview camera. A hollow base and camera collar may slide over a rearview camera stock and partially seat into a wheel center bore. A tire cover may be sandwiched between the hollow base and faceplate. This system may provide improved ease of installation and removal for vehicle models with varying wheel and tire offsets and sizes.

An accessory mounting system for a spare tire and at least one ratchet strap includes a platform having a plurality of mounting apertures formed therethrough. A pair of wedge brackets, each fixed with the platform, is further adapted at an inside arched surface thereof for fixing against the circumferential tread of the spare tire. An outside surface of each mounting bracket includes a mounting hole pattern for attaching various accessories thereto. In use, with the at least one flexible strap traversing the wedge brackets at two or more strap slots formed therein, the ratchet strap is actuated to tighten the accessory mounting system to the spare tire. Preferably, the accessory mounting system further includes a tire face mounting plate with a mounting hole pattern for fixing various accessories thereto.
