Your utility terrain vehicle (UTV) is likely outfitted with plenty of amazing features that make it more durable, comfortable and practical to use. These vehicles come equipped with plenty of seating, lots of storage space, rugged all-terrain tires and rollover cages for protection. However, you can always upgrade your UTV with some handy aftermarket accessories to make your journeys for work or play even better! Here are just a few of the many options available for accessorizing your UTV.

1. Winch

While your UTV can handle all types of terrain, from mud to turf to sand, there’s a risk that you or even a fellow powersports vehicle operator might get stuck sometimes and need a hand. That’s where having a winch really comes in handy. Installing a winch on your UTV lets you haul a friend out of the muck or have yourself hauled out. Just affix the end of the winch to a sturdy tree or other solid obstacle and drive until you’re out.

2. GPS Unit

You might have an excellent sense of direction already or know a riding area well, but it’s really easy to get turned around, especially in a crisis. Having an easy means of finding your way back to a staging area is necessary, which is why your UTV should also be equipped with a GPS unit that can avoid using up your phone’s battery and even provide guidance when there isn’t wireless coverage.

3. First-Aid Kit

Very few UTV journeys are accident-free, and it’s always good to be prepared to address illnesses and injuries out in the wilderness. Pack a first-aid kit with the medications, ointments and bandages that you’ll need to patch up a wound or take care of a headache.

4. LED Lighting

A bright and long-lasting source of light is often necessary when driving in dim or dark conditions. Maybe you’re out hunting before dawn and need to see the way ahead, or maybe a fog has settled in at your farm or ranch. Either way, you’ll be prepared when you’ve got an LED light bar installed on your UTV. Turn it on and the long-ranging beam will illuminate your path and help you to avoid any obstacles.

5. Cargo Net

Sure, there’s plenty of storage available on your UTV, but what if you need a way to keep it in place? Lash down your cargo with a handy cargo net that will hug your possessions and keep them safely in the bay as you ride.
