I wanted to be able to buy a rear pack for hunting. But the seat configuration meant you
could not put much on or around the seat. And Polaris is not making anything
yet. I removed the seat which leaves an 8 " deep cavity, But there was a deck to mount to at 4 inches deep above the seat retaining pins. So I built a platform of 3/4" plywood with layers of yoga mat cut to shape (Like 5 layers). Then I covered it in vinyl and stapled. It rides only slightly above deck height and it super comfy. I can now buy any pack I want and use the whole rear deck. And I did.

I also fixed the passenger footrest dilemma. Not being able to brace the
ball of your foot going downhill or braking as the stock platform is too shallow if your shoe size is over 6. Only needed to drill 4 holes. I cut and bent some Dexion to make the platform extension and angled it up slightly. I rolled it over so a jagged edge would not be facing my calf muscle as driver. After I mounted it, it still had a little too much flex. So I cut 2×4 about 8 inches long and wedged it under the Dexion. And bolted the wood to the upright surface. Now it is solid enough to stand on and gives the ball of your foot a place to bear down. Painted everything black. Good to go. I am not a craftsman. But I welcome feedback.
