- a first coupler having an outer annular surface and an inner surface, where the outer annular surface and the inner surface define contact surfaces for contacting one or more vehicle attachments;
- and
- a second coupler having a radially expandable member to contact the inner surface.
A coupling system for a vehicle, comprising:
- a first coupler having:
- a first annular attachment surface, where the first annular attachment surface defines a first contacting surface configured to contact one or more vehicle attachments, and an inner surface of the first annular attachment surface includes a lip extending radially inwardly therefrom;

A coupling system for a vehicle accessory, comprising:
- a first coupler having:
- a first annular attachment surface, where the first annular attachment surface defines a outer contact surface configured to receive one or more vehicle attachments,
- a second annular attachment surface, where the second annular attachment surface defines an inner contact surface configured to receive one or more of the vehicle attachments;
- and
- a lip adjacent an outer end of the coupler and having a diameter larger than a diameter of the outer contact surface diameter;
- and
- a second coupler coupled to the vehicle accessory and configured to be attached to at least one of the outer and inner contact surfaces of the first coupler, and the second coupler is fixed to the vehicle accessory when the second coupler is attached to the at least one of the first and second contact surfaces and also is fixed to the vehicle accessory when the second coupler is removed from the at least one of the first and second contact surfaces.
