Must-Have UTV Accessories

Before you hit the road in your Polaris® ATV, make sure you have the right accessories! You need more than a full tank of gas and a helmet for a successful ride. We gathered up the most crucial accessories for a safe and comfortable UTV ride below. For all your UTV needs, visit Sky Powersports Lakeland. We proudly serve those in Lakeland and Tampa, Florida.

Winch

It happens to the best of us. We underestimate how steep that ditch is or how deep that muddle puddle is. Before you know it, you are stuck without traction. You need a little extra help to get your Polaris® UTV back on the road. A winch is a useful accessory to carry around for these situations. They help pull Polaris® UTVs to a spot with more traction so you can keep cruising.

LED Lights

Most Polaris® UTVs come equipped with standard halogen lights for one reason: it's cheaper for the manufacturer. But, not surprisingly, they aren't ideal for the rider. LED lights are far superior. They produce a stronger beam while sucking up less energy to run. They do cost more up front, but you easily make back the high cost over time. LED lights need to be replaced far less often, so you end up saving money in the long run. It's a simple upgrade to your Polaris® UTV that you can enjoy the benefits of right away.

GPS

When you drive a vehicle in a city, navigation is pretty simple. There are distinct, man-made landmarks everywhere. If that fails, there are clearly named roads. If that fails, there's always your phone GPS.

Riding Polaris® UTVs in the backwoods is a different scenario. Every tree looks like every other tree, which makes it hard to pick landmarks. There are usually no road names. Your phone GPS will likely be in and out of coverage. Chances are high that you will end up lost at some point. It's hard not to do, especially when you are more focused on enjoying your ride and driving safe than you are making sense of your location.

Everyone can benefit from installing a GPS into their Polaris® UTVs. Enjoy the peace of mind that comes with constant navigation coverage. It's an easy installation and many advanced models offer pretty impressive features.

Emergency Kits

Plenty of unexpected situations can arise when riding Polaris® UTVs in the backwoods of nature. Maybe an animal jumps onto your path and you collide before you can process what just happened. Maybe a small pothole grabs your tire just right. Maybe some debris finds itself into one of your Polaris® UTV's tires. These issues come with the territory when you ride off the paved trail.

An emergency kit helps you do just that - be prepared for whatever nature throws your way. You will want to pack a toolkit with common tools and spare parts. If your Polaris® UTV experiences minor maintenance issues that you can fix, you'll be able to handle it then and there. No need to end your trip early and pay a mechanic if you don't have to! Make sure your kit includes an air pump, zip ties, and duct tape. You'll also want a first aid kit in case anything happens to you. Pack along the necessities so you can handle minor health emergencies on the road.

Outfitting your Polaris® UTV with the proper accessories helps your ride go smoother. For all your UTV needs, visit Sky Powersports Lakeland. We offer a range of new and used UTVs for sale as well as a service department. We proudly serve those in Lakeland and Tampa, Florida.
