Claim 15:
16. A latching mechanism system which can be used without requiring tools, the latching mechanism system comprising:
an offroad vehicle defining a mounting recess adjacent a mounting surface;
a latching mechanism comprising:
a body defining a rotational axis, the body being receivable at least partially in the mounting recess of the offroad vehicle such that the body is held against rotation by the mounting recess, wherein the body comprises a hooking portion extending upwardly a clamping distance above the mounting surface when the body is received in the mounting recess, the hooking portion being laterally offset from the rotational axis;
a shaft extending through the body, pivotable relative to the body and about the rotational axis;
a handle for pivoting the shaft relative to the body, the handle extending on an upper side of the body so as to be hand manipulatable by a user while the body is at least partially in the mounting recess; and
an oblong head pivotable by the shaft about the rotational axis, the head extending on a lower side of the body and pivotable to a position where the head secures the body relative to the mounting recess; and

an accessory removably attachable against the mounting surface of the offroad vehicle by the latching mechanism when the latching mechanism is tightened into the mounting recess by hand pivoting of the handle to pivot the shaft and oblong head relative to the body, the accessory having a hook receiving portion which receives and contacts the hooking portion of the latching mechanism, wherein, when removably attached by the tightened latching mechanism, the accessory makes no contact with the latching mechanism on a side of the rotational axis opposite the hooking portion.
