Vehicle storage system

A storage system comprising:

• a base adapted to be supported by a vehicle body and disposed over a vehicle cargo compartment, the base having a forward end, a rearward end, a first side, and a second side;
• a partition extending transversely from the forward end of the base;
• a side panel 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;
• and
• a rear panel pivotally attached to the side panel about a transverse axis and adapted to couple to a bumper supported by the vehicle body in the second configuration to support the side panel without engaging an external surface.

An off-road vehicle comprising:

• a vehicle body with a passenger compartment and a cargo compartment adjacent to the passenger compartment;
• a bumper mounted to the vehicle body rearward of the cargo compartment;
• a base 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 extending from the forward end of the base and oriented between the passenger compartment and the cargo compartment;
• a side panel with a proximal end pivotally attached to the first side of the base and a forward end 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;
• and
• a rear panel with a proximal side pivotally attached to a rearward end of the side panel and connectable to the bumper in the second configuration to support the side panel without engaging an underlying external surface.
