1. A vehicular utility mount system, comprising:
an elongate support beam having a first planar panel and a second planar panel, wherein:
the first planar panel is arranged orthogonal relative the second planar panel, and
the second planar panel comprises an opening formed therethrough;
a hitch receiver disposed through the opening in the second planar panel, wherein:
the hitch receiver comprises a hollow hitch body having a first side surface and a second side surface,
a first locking pin aperture is disposed within the first side surface and a second locking pin aperture is disposed within the second side surface,
the hollow hitch body comprises a proximal opening and a distal opening, and the proximal opening is disposed adjacent the first planar panel; and
a first coupling structure and a second coupling structure, wherein:
the first coupling structure is disposed at a first end of the elongate support beam and the second coupling structure is disposed at a second end of the elongate support beam,
the first coupling structure comprises a first plurality of support panels oriented parallel to one another,
the first plurality of support panels are coupled together via a first curved sheath structure oriented orthogonal to the first plurality of support panels,
the second coupling structure comprises a second plurality of support panels oriented parallel to one another,
the first and second coupling structures are configured to couple to vehicular tow hooks,
the second plurality of support panels are coupled together via a second curved sheath structure oriented orthogonal to the second plurality of support panels,
the first plurality of support panels and the second plurality of support panels are oriented parallel to one another,
the first plurality of support panels each comprise a first aperture and a second aperture,
the second plurality of support panels each comprise a third aperture and a fourth aperture, and
one or more of the first, second, third, and fourth apertures are configured to accept a tow hook locking pin.
