Raptor rear bunk height
Hello, I have a 2011 Raptor 4014 and am wondering if anyone has raised the lower bunk. We just got a 2012 Polaris RZR 4 XP and I is 77" tall at the highest point. I currently only have 73" to the lower bunk. The small hinged legs for the bunk take off another inch. I have approximately 6-8" between the two bunks when both ate all the way raised. Is there a way to raise the lower bunk up closer to the top one when in the raised position? My lower bunk is the U shaped lounge if that matters. Thx!!

Mine came with the rear bed stacked on top the optional U shaped lounge in the garage, and that really cut down the head room. Since I dont need or use the rear bed I unpinned it from the electr lift & removed it completely and then raised the lounge to max the head room. Now I can load the Harley without laying on the tank. with both of them in there, I didnt see a way to raise the lower one.

I have a 297se . The bunks I'm my unit can be raised by flipping the L bracket then moving it up on the lift rail . There is a few sets of extra holes to raise it up . Once I raised it my lifted golf cart fit with no problem .

It makes the sitting position a little higher but not bad . I have the u shaped bottom couch and on the legs that fold down , I had to add a few inches to them to touch the floor .

I have the same lower bunk/couch and was thinking I would have a problem with those fold down legs at the center front.

We have a Kawasaki teryx and a 13 raptor 381lev. We replaced the hardtop on the teryx with a soft-top and the sidexside fits perfectly even with the Harley beside it. With the hardtop on it still fit "barely" in the center.

We have the lower bunk dinette 2 bench, not the wrap around dinette and the teryx with the hard top on was 77". But we find. we prefer the soft top anyway. We don't do very much sand riding, mostly ride in the mountains

I will measure the teryx and let you know. The Harley is stabilized by a chock mounted on the floor. The chock is removed easily with just a mount plate remaining. I worried about the plate remaining and stunning my toes on it but once we roll the carpet out you really don't know its there. I will get the make from my husband when he gets home from work and post it with the measurement later when I get home from work

Okay the teryx measures 58 inches across the back. Or I guess I should say from wheel to wheel. And the chock we installed is called a "locknload" . Works great! The chock has a freestanding floor stand for the home garage and then a plate that you mount in the Rv. Then you just move the chock. We actually have it mounted in the center of the Rv but have drilled the holes to move it easily to the side if we want to haul both the teryx and Harley. Hope this helps.

Here is the RZR 4 XP 900 loaded in... It fit, but I had to remove those folding legs from the lower bunk. I am currently working on something different for that function.
