A slim, trim and lightweight, yet strong, auger/vehicle interface jig designed for securing an earth or ice type auger to any vehicle, including All Terrain Vehicles (ATV's) and snowmobiles, for the purpose of transporting, stabilizing and operating the auger while attached to the vehicle. The auger/vehicle interface jig includes a carriage guide assembly designed specifically to mate with a standard after-market square tubular style vehicle hitch of the said vehicle, requiring no additional customized securing and stabilizing bracketry. The auger/vehicle interface jig also includes a sliding carriage assembly, an assisted means for moving the sliding carriage assembly vertically up and down during the hole drilling process and a sliding carriage assembly locking means for securing the sliding carriage assembly to the carriage guide assembly during long distance transportation. The sliding carriage assembly is connected to the automatically adjusting auger receiver which is designed to automatically accept the operating handles of pre-manufactured augers of differing dimensions without the need for manual adjustment. The sliding carriage assembly is interlocked with the carriage guide assembly in such a manner that it allows for the vertical up and down movement of the sliding carriage assembly while still providing support limiting the movement of the sliding carriage assembly from side to side. The auger/vehicle interface jig optionally includes a pivoting carriage guide for aligning the auger at the range of angles relative to the plane of underlying terrain.
