Abstract: Embodiments disclosed of a multifunctional utility rack attachment device, the components comprise of a body structure, a positioning mechanism, a position securing system, and a modular attachment system. The device mounts either directly or indirectly on to an off-road vehicle's utility rack. The body structure facilitates the use of a modular attachment system geared towards connecting various utility attachments seamlessly. The positioning mechanism facilitates the movement of the body structure some distance from the off-road vehicle creating opportunity for additional utilitarian purposes. The position securing system is used to lock the body structure into place in a specified configuration, as to not allow the positioning mechanism to act upon the body structure. The components are combined together to form the device.
