Abstract
An off-road vehicle includes a vehicle body with a passenger compartment and a cargo compartment adjacent to, and rearward of, the passenger compartment. A base is supported by the vehicle body and disposed over the cargo compartment, the base having a forward end, a rearward end, a first side, and a second side. A partition extends from the forward end of the base. A side panel is pivotally attached to the first side of the base about a longitudinal axis and attachable to the partition in a first configuration to facilitate storage, and moveable in an outward direction to provide a raised platform with the base in a second configuration. A rear panel is pivotally attached to the side panel about a transverse axis and connectable to the vehicle body in the second configuration to support the side panel without engaging an underlying external surface.
