An off-road vehicle has a frame, a motor, a plurality of ground engaging members and a cargo box connected to the frame. The cargo box having a floor, a front wall, a left side wall and a right side wall. An inner panel is connected to one of the left and right side walls of the cargo box. The inner panel defines a side storage space on an outer side of the inner panel. An outer panel is removably connected to the inner panel. The outer panel covers the side storage space. The outer panel has an outer periphery, and an integrally formed portion of the inner panel extends outside the outer periphery of the outer panel.

A vehicle has a frame, wheels, left and right seats each having a seat base, an internal combustion engine disposed rearward of the seat bases, an air induction system fluidly connected to the engine, at least one side body panel and an access panel. The air induction system has an air inlet, an air filter, and a throttle body. The at least one side body panel is connected to a side of the frame and defines an aperture. The access panel is movable between a first position and a second position. In the first position, the access panel is connected to the at least one side body panel and covers the aperture. In the second position, the access panel exposes the aperture. The air filter is accessible through the aperture when the access panel is in the second position. A method for removing an air filter is also disclosed.
