Raising the floor board 2.5"

[dwillauto]

For shorter passengers or drivers: I was able to raise the floor 2.5" with a 24"x60" raised platform purchased from "websturantstore" . I made a "pic stick" which I called a pattern stick in the video and then was able to create a pattern which i could mark every corner and edge and then cut out the pattern with a saw. I only has to grind a little on the bottom where the floor sides are tapered. I used both ends of the platform so I would have a factory edge showing with the door open. Worked great and also I found a container that fits perfect under the passenger seat that hold tow strap, jump box, plug kit, bunges etc... Check out the video. For anyone near Little Rock I can mark you platform for you with the pattern I already have.

That was our main concern when we started looking for a up-grade from our Teryx 800, im 5'3 and hubbys 5'8, we both notice right off it was very uncomfortable to barley reach the floor OR the pedals easily, we havent up-graded yet, so hopen they take care of this issue in the soon coming years, id like to see your video but its not playing, thanks for the inut on this issue, just knowing its not just us.

I ended up buying one of those footrests that they use in office environments for under your computer desk. Works perfect for my wife who was struggling to reach the floor. Here's a link to what we use: https://a.co/d/0gn04qgQ
Good luck and happy wheeling!

I dont think that would work...maybe for the passenger, i do alot of driving also, i cant even reach the pedals, this would defiantly not work, it would be in the way for sure, but thanks, Kawasaki needs to address this issue with many people or they will have to give up the beloved Kawasaki life.

Did you try a 26? Seat layout quite a bit different and easier for shorter drivers.

Mine is a 2024, so no. I am not sure how the floor board is laid out but think if you made a good pattern it would work on aobut any floor board. Could you see the video? Someone stated the video would not play.
