An accessory mounting system for mounting an accessory on a vehicle is provided. The mounting system includes a stacking assembly having a support structure adapted to be coupled to the vehicle and which includes a first support segment and a second support segment respectively provided with interlocking sections adapted to slidably engage one another to selectively define a length of the support structure. The stacking assembly also includes a support segment latch adapted to selectively secure the first support segment and the second support segment together and block movement of the first support segment and of the second support segment along the longitudinal axis. The stacking assembly further includes a pair of mounting fixtures connected at opposite ends of the support structure, and to which the accessory is adapted to be coupled to in order to mount the accessory to the vehicle.
